That title is no misprint. You must stop training your muscles if you want to lose fat. Or at least change your mindset to training movements rather than muscles. Save the bodybuilding routine for those who have the time to go through a 2 hour weight training workout. Your fat loss will not be maximized by a routine in that format anyway. Instead lets look at how our body moves and try and incorporate exercises that fit those movements.
TweetThere are many tools you can use to burn body fat. However some tools or methods will get you there faster than others. If we look, for example at Metabolic Conditioning (also known as Cardio) you may or may not know that Interval Training is a much more effective means of burning fat than long steady cardio training sessions. Many weight training methods can be compared the same way. A bicep curl is not going to have the same effect that a squat is going to have.
