Body Fat
We know we know, you got into the game to get “cut” and “shredded”, so you could look like the dude on the magazine covers. The thing about that “dude” is that he’s probably around 10% body fat while you’re hovering around 20. See the issue?
To lower body fat you want to adhere to a strict diet that limits the consumption of simple sugars or low quality carbs. Contrary to common knowledge it’s not fat that makes you fat. Low quality carbs pump glucose into your bloodstream at a high rate, which increases insulin. The more insulin we secrete the more active LPL ( lipoprotein lipase) is on our fat cells – this pulls fat into cells.

High Intensity cardio also helps, so things like the stair climb, sprints, and the rowing machine should be part of your regular arsenal.
