It’s Feeling Like 1987 Because Aerobics Is Back

June 21, 2012 by Adria Ali Leave a Comment

I’m not a fan of cardio, and today my friend who’s a trainer asked me what I deemed cardio, which I retorted, “45 minutes on the treadmill walking uphill.” He said to do sprints, “Go as hard as you can for 20 seconds and then rest for a minute.” So like the work out freak I am, I went home, and tried this, but it wasn’t enough. I get that high intensity can be good, but is it really all that good or is it that something like aerobics, steady and stable, better in the long run? I ended up jumping rope for 10 minutes after my “sprints” and that sufficed my cardio needs for the day. I digress, back to the reason for this post High Intensity Interval training, which I think I did a really lame version of last night.


This fine specimen is Anthony Mychal, not only is he attractive, but he seems to know what he’s talking about when it comes to fitness and athleticism. Of course he has a blog named appropriately after him, Anthony Mychal, hey I get it, his last name is cool or is it his middle initial? Anyway, back to aerobics, or cardio, or you know, burning calories on a machine for 45 minutes.

He posed the question of whether aerobics or HIIT is more effective. One would instantly think, HIIT. I see the words high intensity and before you can say carbs, I say yes, sign me up! Well, here comes the shocker…..

Aerobics IS BETTER than HIIT. So instead of doing some crazy intense weight/cardio/rest/repeat 6 times, instead go for the straight aerobics! Yay! Wait, what’s aerobics exactly?

I think of aerobics as putting on Donna Summers’ Last Dance and doing some really awkward dance movements/light jogging in place, but thankfully it’s not. You can get your aerobics fix by simply getting on that treadmill or walking outside and keeping that heart rate at a steady pace and burning 200 calories in 40 minutes. That’s enough for Anthony Mychal, because when it’s all said and done you’ve burned off 1,000 calories in 5 days and with HIIT you’re less likely to keep it up, say week 3. So get on the aerobics train, your partner will thank you, I kid…not really. It’s called a mirror, use it…in bed. Okay, you’re probably saying, “Oh Bianca, all this talk of working out and aerobics and no exercise to tickle our palate?” I have you covered… courtesy of Mr. Mychal. My new boyfriend. Oops did I just type that? It’s called The Secret people, it works!

Set of squats
Let the heart rate return to 130 BPM
Jump rope for 30 seconds
Let the heart rate return to 130 BPM
Set of squats
Repeat

Looks easy and it’s definitely effective. Take it from me, jumping rope for 30 seconds beats the 10 minutes straight I did last night. Truth talk.
