Chris O'Brien Daily Workout, Information, News 0 Comments

Thought I would share another interesting article covering some of the reasons why Aerobic work in access or on its own is detrimental to your metabolism and fat loss. This is also another great reason why we promote constantly varied workouts using short to medium (anaerobic) bouts of high intensity exercise.
