Cardio is Key...
Did you know that you burn the same amount of calories whether you walk or run a mile? The most important difference is that when you run you push your heart into its cardio range. This does two things for you...
· Strengthens your heart
· Stokes your metabolism for the next 24 hours
So while leisure activity is great and does burn calories...you aren’t really stimulating your cardiovascular system enough to increase that calorie burn for the long haul. If your goal is to lose weight...you have to PUSH! That can mean running, intervals on the bike, fast laps in the pool, or skipping rope between sets in the weight room.
Increased heart rate=increased metabolism...
if you aren’t getting the results you want...
then its time to try something different!
