For example, never use a heavy club bell to mimic a baseball or golf swing. Isn’t loading a movement pattern a sure fire way to mess that movement pattern up?

]]> Comment on A triangular approach to fat loss. By Stephen Tongue by tonguey http://www.fitnessnewspaper.com/2012/03/02/a-triangular-approach-to-fat-loss-by-stephen-tongue/#comment-395 tonguey Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:41:31 +0000 http://www.fitnessnewspaper.com/?p=874#comment-395 "Aerobic exercise is also the only type of exercise in which our energy systems directly use fat as an energy source." Dom also pointed out this quote in the above comment. Admittedly this is badly worded and what I was trying to communicate was that during aerobic exercise fat is often the greatest energy source. I'm not suggesting that aerobic exercise is the only way to go but I am saying that it is an important component of a fat loss exercise program and should be integrated along with higher intensity cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. “Aerobic exercise is also the only type of exercise in which our energy systems directly use fat as an energy source.”

The human mind and body hasn't changed too much since the 80's. Clothes and music have definitely got better though. Hi Dom,

By Stephen Tongue by Adam Wight http://www.fitnessnewspaper.com/2012/03/02/a-triangular-approach-to-fat-loss-by-stephen-tongue/#comment-391 Adam Wight Sun, 04 Mar 2012 17:19:07 +0000 http://www.fitnessnewspaper.com/?p=874#comment-391 Steve, great article at outlining some of the most contentious subjects. However, I'd just like to make a comment on the aerobic exercise burning fat comment. Although you are right in that it does burn fat, so does any other type of exercise if the fuel you are running your body on is that of fat. I.e, if you eat a low carb, high fat diet (such as myself) my body uses fat to fuel exercise regardless of the type I am partaking in. Also, this misconception that people need to to do more aerobic exercise to burn more fat is in my opinion misleading. Aerobic exercise also depletes muscle mass as the body works at becoming more efficient. Muscle is the largest consumer of energy in our bodies and if these are broken down / depleted as a consequence of increasing our aerobic workouts then our basal metobloic rate is also reduced, resulting in less fat burned overall. Aerobic exercise in my experience not only depletes muscle stores, it also drives up the secretion of cortisol (stress hormone) and as a result increases our insulin resistance. Consequently we now need more insulin to help storage of blood sugars. Ultimately we now increase our fat stores. The prime example is the common overweight individuals found in all gyms around the globe, consistently being pushed by their trainers to smash another 10 minutes on the x trainer, another 500m on the rower or run another 1km on the treadmill. Despite all of this, they never lose a pound! Just my take on the situation. I very much like your sections regarding intolerances - I'd be interested to hear any further articles you may like to write on the subject.
