Short, sharp bursts of activity have proven to be more effective than long, drawn-out exercise. exercise that most people choose is long slow cardio exercise such as jogging, swimming or hours on the treadmill, bike, or elliptical trainer.
This kind of exercise burns mostly fat during the exercise. Which seems like a good idea, but actually INCREASES the chances of your body storing fat in the long run. In general, the body considers long, slow activity the same as “being lost in the jungle” which means it is best to store AS MUCH fat as possible to stay alive!
Lots of bad stuff happens inside you when you do excess amounts of long distance cardio. After all, look at the people at a marathon. Many of them are fat and have average or unimpressive physiques despite hours and hours of cardio exercise.

1) Cardio increases the amount of stress hormones you produce
2) Cardio decreases the amount of muscle building hormones you have
3) Your body actually burns lots of amino acids when doing cardio
