What if I told you a secret that could allow you to BURN MORE THAN 2X the amount of CALORIES in 1/2 the amount of TIME?
The last several post to this blog have been dedicated to increasing education around the body’s metabolism and lifestyle choices that can increase its output in the form of expended energy called burning calories. If you haven’t seen the last few posts, check them out, it is ideal to read them in order to progress to this one.
Here is an example of two separate style workouts conducted in the SAME AMOUNT of TIME.
The key here is what drastically differs in the way the bodies metabolism responds to the multiple components of fitness being used DURING THE SAME WORKOUT and not segregated into different days. Plus, when strength training is added in combo with others (Cardio & Muscular Endurance) the metabolism is firing @ a much higher level for HOURS POST WORKOUT that does not take place on the same level with cardio only.
Metabolism can be rated on a scale from 5 deep sleep to a MAX of 100 for hours of vigorous physical activity.
Intensity of Metabolism Scale: 5 - 100
1.
Exercise: Stationary Bike, Treadmill, or Elliptical
Component of Fitness: Cardio ONLY
Time: 45 min.
Intensity of Metabolism: Moderate - 40
Potential Calories During Exercise: 250
Potential Calories POST Exercise: 125
Potential Calories TOTAL: 375
2.
Exercise: Combination body weight movements
Component of Fitness: Muscular Strength & Endurance, Cardio
Time: 45 min. (15 min. of each component)
Intensity of Metabolism: High - 80
Potential Calories During Exercise: 500
Potential Calories POST Exercise 300
Potential Calories TOTAL: 800
