Do I need to do cardio everyday when I do Naked Commando?

A common question that can get pretty hard to answer correctly when most people are so used to doing cardio to lose weight so often. The media seems to get everyone on the same band wagon believing “if you want to lose weight that that cardio’s the only way to do it”

Well yes and no are the answer. When I did my training in the military, several goals were simultaneously being achieved at the same time. One was to develop unbelievable cardiovascular endurance so we could open ocean swim or run for miles and the other was to have great muscular endurance for the most brutal of physical encounters be it friend or foe…..survival was always the goal.


Besides the fact the military had quite an investment in each of their field operators and getting the money back for a good rate of return was part of the deal.
As it pertains to the visual impact of fat loss, cardio may be needed to enhance or speed up the effect of running, which along with endurance, would be fat loss. The diet, when properly maintained with the right quantity and quality of foods, would allow a simple program of bodyweight calisthenics to suffice in toning the body while dropping 2-3 lbs. per week like clockwork.


The callisthenic routine when choosing whole body workouts for 40-50 minutes, striving to burn 10-20 calories each minute can also burn additional calories through what’s referred to as “EPOC” or post exercise oxygen consumption. This basically allows the body to continue to burn an additional quantity of calories for up 36 hours following an aggressive workout.


Combining that with just what the body needs calorie wise each day will speed the fat loss process considerably. The analogy we use here is the visual of an 8 ounce glass filled just short of the rim. If the water glass is filled with water just spilling over the top of the glass, it’s just “too” many calories. Just beneath the lip, then weight loss will occur.


For the really aggressive fat loss enthusiast with more time available, a daily routine of calisthenics can be performed to make a traditional jog on a treadmill or using the Stairmaster pale in comparison. Don’t believe it…..try a nonstop, whole body calisthenics routine today for the fat loss program of your life!


The military can’t be wrong with a cost effective exercise and fat loss programs!
