Getting Ripped With Incline Cardio ? Interview With Clay Rogers ...

If you?re a frequent reader of FitMole, then you know that I?m all about simplicity and minimalism.

I hate flashy magic bullets that are all fluff and no substance.

But I was?pleasantly?surprised when I read about Clay Rogers and his unique approach to cardio. Clay and I both share the same philosophies when it comes to building a lean and muscle celebrity body.

So check out the interview below where I drilled Clay on his approach to cardio and why it?s such a great way to lose weight and even build your six-pack.

1) Thanks for doing this interview Clay, so to start can you briefly tell us a bit about yourself?

Well, the first thing I?m always quick to point out when asked to do that is, ?I?m in no way a ?fitness expert? or ?guru??hell, I?m not even certified in anything fitness-related.?

So, there you go.?My life is primarily lived outside the gym.

What I am is basically just a persistent nerd. When I want something, I just don?t give up on it until I?ve got it totally figured out ? and getting six-pack lean and proportionally muscular (in the ?underwear model? or ?Hollywood actor playing a superhero? kind of way) was one of those ideas I got hooked on a long time ago.

As in, years ago.

But despite researching my butt off and perfectly applying every single tactic I could find?from the ?basics? to the most ?cutting-edge? research available?my results were always dismal. Embarrassingly dismal.?Nowhere near what I wanted.

But it?s just not in me to give up on something like that.

So over the years, out of necessity, I ended up stumbling onto and developing all kinds of alternative physique transformation methodologies that DID work when nothing else would. Some are weird, some fly in the face of what most experts would tell you is the ?right? thing to do based on all the latest research?

But frankly, I don?t care if something?s ?right? or ?wrong?.

I just care if it produces results.

A lot of people have asked me for my methods ? so I teach them now, usually with astounding results (because I can teach it effectively from the perspective of a ?normal? person who struggles to normally see any results at all).

And what I teach flat-out produces results ? even if it?s weird at times.

2) So Clay, you have a pretty unique approach to cardio called ?Incline Cardio.? Can you give us a brief explanation of what it is?

Most people are under the impression that ALL exercise has to be extremely intense to be effective. That?s what?s preached to us nonstop.

And while I do believe that there are times where extremely high levels of intensity are necessary (muscle growth being one of them), I actually discovered what?s essentially a loophole in the way the body burns off fat?

And the way to exploit it is specifically with extremely low-intensity cardio, performed in a very specific way, for very specific durations of time, at very specific times of day.

That?s what Incline Cardio is.

Rather than focusing on pure calorie loss, Incline Cardio strategically elevates hormone output (the real key to massive fat loss) while directly targeting fat stores for energy and indirectly developing the abs.

All from extremely low-impact walking.

I don?t like to hype things up, or bill them as ?magic bullets?. I hate when people do that. But Incline Cardio is honestly as close to a general fitness ?magic bullet? as I?ve come across.

3) And what makes incline cardio superior to other forms of cardio like jogging or HIIT?

Now, this is where we need to make an important distinction.

I wouldn?t say it?s superior to all other forms of cardio. It all depends on what your goals are.

My goals right now, personally, are a) building lean muscle tissue, b) getting lean, c) being as healthy as possible, and d) being full of natural energy at all times. Not really ?function? or ?athleticism? related.

For those four primary goals, in my opinion, Incline Cardio is ideal. And this is for four basic reasons:

1. It has essentially the same hormonal benefits of HIIT (that whole ?you burn more fat after you perform it? thing people tout) ? one Incline Cardio session is, hormonally-speaking, equivalent to one intense HIIT session

2. But Incline Cardio can be performed up to 6 days a week (something not possible with HIIT without overtraining)

3. Without interfering with weight training (in fact, Incline Cardio will enhance your results from weight training due to its low impact nature and huge hormonal benefits)

4. And, the best part, Incline Cardio can be performed 2x a day?even on that ?6 days a week? schedule (if it?s massive, fast results you?re after)? and results will only be enhanced exponentially further doing this.

That just barely scratches the surfaces of its true benefits.

But essentially, it?s a conveniently low-impact way of engineering massive results. I?ve routinely used it both with myself and with hundreds of guys applying my methods to build muscle while losing fat ? something most experts will tell you is flat-out impossible for natural genetically-average lifters.

Not to mention:

- It?s equally effective for women as it is for men.

- It?s low impact enough that almost anyone can use it (how helpful is it to people with knee/joint issues to be told to perform HIIT for fat loss?)

I could go on and on here.

Now, I don?t want to sound like I?m putting HIIT down.

HIIT is great!

In fact, it can be strategically used with Incline Cardio to engineer absolutely amazing results extremely quickly. But, in my opinion? for pure fat loss, it is overkill, unnecessary, not as effective, and NOT the only option like so many people paint it out to be.

4) Right, there is so much hype surrounding things like HIIT these days. What made you go back to do such an ?old school? form of cardio?

Honestly, I stumbled on Incline Cardio almost completely by accident.

I still was in the ?HIIT is the only way to effectively lose fat? and ?you can?t lose fat while building muscle? mindset when I stumbled on Incline Cardio. But, basically, I was at a new gym and started seeing absolutely ridiculous results.

I was after muscle growth at the time.

And somehow, without any real changes in my routine, I was not only building more muscle than I?d ever managed to in the past?

But I was dropping body fat like crazy at the same time!

Most people are under the impression that ALL exercise has to be extremely intense to be effective. That?s what?s preached to us nonstop.

It was to the point where the people around me were asking what I was on, in a playful way.

Honestly, I was sort of wondering what I was on, too. I was only at this new gym for about 5 weeks ? I was traveling ? and when I went back home, the results just flat-out stopped and even moved backwards a bit?despite eating the same diet and following the same workouts.

After a bit of reverse-engineering, I?d discovered what was producing the results.

It was this uphill walk I was doing to get home immediately after my workout. (The gym was at the bottom of a hill, and my house was at the top. Simple enough.)

As soon as I reproduced the same walk exactly the same with a treadmill, the results started right back up again. I?ve since refined it, and even tried doing it with running and sprinting and stair stepping and everything inbetween? but the walking has been, by far, the most effective.

Now I preach the benefits of walking to everyone?

And Incline Cardio specifically for accelerated fat loss and physique maintenance.

5) So how would people combine incline cardio with their normal weight training routine? Would they do after their workout or on their off days?

Ideally they?d do both!

Incline Cardio is most effective when performed immediately after an intense workout ? either weight training or HIIT. But it is still highly beneficial performed on its own on ?off? days.

But the coolest part is that if you REALLY want to boost results up big-time, you can perform it earlier in the day post-workout AND later in the day on its own (or vice versa). 2x a day.

That?s my recommendation for people who need the fastest results possible.

6) And how many times per week would someone looking to lose weight be able to do incline cardio?

Because it?s so low-impact, you can do it up to 6 days a week?even if you?re following the ?accelerated results? 2x-a-day suggestion.

You don?t need to do it that much.

It just depends on what your goals are. Do you want the fastest possible fat loss? just moderate fat loss? or are you just looking to maintain the physique you?ve built with the least amount of effort?

The number of times you perform Incline Cardio in a week ? 1x a day 2 days a week all the way up to 2x a day 6 times a week ? all depends on what outcome you?re after.

7) You said that incline cardio will help train your abs and build a six pack, how is that?

Ah?

I didn?t talk about this too much in this interview, but this is one of the biggest benefits of Incline Cardio.

What I?ve discovered is that abs are best developed via what I call the ?Abdominal Stabilization Principle? ? they?re used as stabilizers in your body (to hold your torso upright and stabilize you during, well, just about everything you do), and that?s how they prefer to be developed?

Via stabilization movements.

I don?t recommend sit-ups or crunches. They?re just not that effective, in my opinion ? and this is because they don?t adhere to this stabilization principle.

Incline Cardio, on the other hand, perfectly adheres to it.

Due to the exact incline and speed used, your abs essentially take over the entire movement ? and get developed exactly the way they prefer to get developed, but almost completely indirectly.

In other words, it?s not only the most effective way to rapidly lose fat?

But it?s also the most effective ab developer as well.

I?ve got galleries of six packs developed rapidly strictly via Incline Cardio ? no direct ab work at all.

Like I mentioned earlier, I hate hype ? and I don?t do hype at all. It?s unfair to everyone to paint things out to be something they?re not.

But Incline Cardio is one of the few ?jack of all trades? exercises I?ve ever run across. There is absolutely nothing else like it ? and I personally swear by it not only for getting results, but for maintaining my sub-10% bodyfat year round with a minimum of effort.
