You go to the gym, work out, but you still aren’t losing any weight. What gives? It’s a frustrating scenario but not an impossible one to change. Here are three reasons why you aren’t losing weight at the gym and what to do about them. You’re Not Doing Enough (Intense) Cardio Aerobic activity is the most efficient way to burn calories, so make sure you are consistent with cardio workouts. We recommend doing at least 30-45 minutes of cardio, three to four times a week. It’s also important to pick the right kind of cardio workout. Studies show that faster-paced workouts help release fat-burning hormones

in the body and that interval training is key to losing unwanted belly fat . Still not convinced that you should step up your gym workouts? A recent study said that a 45-minute vigorous workout gets three times the net calories burned compared to the same 45 minutes spent walking; it also increases metabolic rate for up to 14 hours post-workout. To melt away unwanted pounds, choose high-intensity workouts like intervals, running, boot camp, or spin. Find out the other reasons you aren’t losing weight after the break!
