Who Loves Cardio!?

Hey guys! Summer is right around the corner, and I'm sure everyone is upping their cardio to help lose those last pesky pounds before bathing suit season comes around. It's important, however, to make sure that you are doing the right sort of exercise in terms of your personal fitness goals.
Do you want to gain muscle, lose fat, or both? Nutrition and metabolism are not black and white; there is a lot of grey area, and knowledge on these topics is required to achieve the goals you desire. Biolayne, AKA Dr. Layne Norton, is a professional regarding the topics of healthful eating and working out; not to mention, he's one of my idols! Norton is a professional powerlifter, and "guru slayer,"who has a BS in Biochemistry and a PhD in Nutritional Sciences. His mission is to dispel what he calls "bro science," or nonsense health myths that have (and are still being) perpetuated.
I leave you with this short interview, in which Dr. Norton answers a few simple questions about fast versus slow cardio. HIIT, for the win!


XO, Kristina
