If you are a client or regular reader of my blog, you'll know I don't advocate an exercise only prescription for weight and fat loss because exercise is just too inefficient in terms of burning calories.

For maximum fat loss, one should combine the types of high intensity activities discussed above AND adhere to a proven fat loss nutrition regimen which provides a caloric deficit and a nutrient ratio which optimizes the thermic effect of feeding.
