How Men Lose Weight, Workout

By A Mystery Man Writer

A friend who knows that I'm a bit OCD when it came to nutrition and exercise recently asked for my advice. She'd mentioned trying the usual suspects—running, spin class, hip-hop dancing, underwater spin class, jazzercize…I don't know what she said to be honest, I checked out after I heard the word class. Not that there aren't good classes out there; it's just that many of them are (how do I put this delicately?) not gonna get the job done. Yes, they might get your heart rate up, but that's only one of the ingredients needed to get a toned, tight body. It's like expecting a cake to come out of the oven when all you've put in there is flour. Ever notice how cardio classes are mostly filled with women? And have you ever felt jealous of how your guy can skip out on all of them, hit the gym a few times a week, and look amazing? Well, you don't have to feel like it's a "guy" thing, because it's not: Doing all cardio, all the time is simply not the best way to burn body fat (just ask any fitness expert). The key is building muscle—the magical elixir
