The Myth: You need to work extremely hard to lose weight

Many people believe that if they want to lose weight they need to work out at the highest intensities they can. Run the fastest, workout the hardest. But actually the high intensity workout is more beneficial to your heart health and strength then to your weight loss. Don’t get me wrong – the high intensity workout is great, it will make you one though cookie :), but for the weight loss is actually more effective if you do your exercise somewhere between 60 – 70% of your maximum effort. At this rate your body is using mostly your fat as fuel. So if you are trying to lose weigh the key is to stay within this intensity and rather for longer time. Not bad right?



So the myth? Busted!

  1. Dnes som si prvý krát užil cvičenie. Myslím si že techniku cvikov mám už zvládnutú. Teraz sa môžem sústrediť na samotné svaly. Good job EVA.
