Intervals are the most efficient workout when it comes to losing body fat! What are you waiting for? Get out of your comfort zone, and the fat burning zone for that matter. Start kicking your own butt to achieve the results you dream of.
Hey Sarah, will I lose weight if I only eat 1200 cals and burn 600 cals by running? How much do u think I will lose a week?
you need to burn an extra 3500 calories to lose 1 lb of fat technically but sadly it doesn’t always work so easily 🙁 Since I don’t know your BMR, I have no idea
hey,
just had a question regarding the book you have referenced in the past. i believe its called the eat-clean diet? well, i went to b&n and they had so many different volumes, so i wanted to know if you recommended anyone for a first time buyer?
I have the recharged version but they have one that is even newer. I would try the newest version but recharged is also very good. They are all similar just some new recipes in the new ones. I hear recharged is better than 1 and I would assume the third is better as well. Don’t buy the cook book -- well you can if you want -- but first read the book book.
I am too fat to run. Does this mean that I cannot follow any of these workouts?
walk!
I’m new to running, what is RPE? Is that for the treadmill? I typically run outside and use a HRM.
I explain it on the Crushing The Course post! If you click one of the links to read it over there, you’ll get a good explanation!
Quick question:
Can I get the same/similar cardio workout result with training bike?
I don’t have too much free time, and this way I could watch children and workout 🙂
