VOTE “yes” or “no”: FAT MELTING SECRET – HOW TO BURN EXTRA CALORIES ALL DAY LONG… No this isn’t some pill or some quick fix! It’s the gorgeous Godsend known as the AFTERBURN EFFECT that can be increased by EXERCISING IN A CERTAIN WAY – it helps you burn more calories HOURS AFTER YOU’VE FINISHED YOUR EXERCISE. Scientists call it EPOC or “Excess Post exercise Oxygen Effect”.
If you want the biggest afterburn possible, you need to exercise at approx 85% of your maximum heart rate. And one of the best ways to do this is HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training). You switch between:
(1) really INTENSE EXERCISING e.g. sprinting, jumping rope or cycling
and
(2) A RECOVERY PERIOD half the length of time you exercised
A person who walks slowly for an hour might burn the SAME AMOUNT OF CALORIES as the person doing High Intensity Interval Training for a much shorter period BUT the low intensity exerciser WON’T get the afterburn… Do High Intensity Interval Training in this way and you’ll burn extra calories all day.
BURN BABY BURN
Studies have shown you can get results by exercising for as little as 4 minutes! #Tabata
4 minutes: Do CARDIO at the highest intensity you can for 20 seconds and then rest for 10 seconds. Do this EIGHT TIMES TOTAL during the 4 minutes.
One study found that exercising in this way burns 15 calories per minute
HOW TO GET STARTED:
1) GET A TIMER – you really want to time the 20 seconds and 10 seconds, not guess it (you won’t get the benefits if your rest periods are too long).
2) CHOOSE AN EXERCISE you find comfortable to do e.g. sprinting, jumping rope or riding a stationary bike.
3) WARM UP for 5 – 10 minutes.
4) START WITH A 4 MINUTE High Intensity Interval SESSION, incorporate it into your weekly exercises, and try to build up to a 20 minute session (to 8 minutes, 12 minutes, 16 minutes, 20 minutes). Take 1 minute of rest between each 4 minute session. This way of exercising is so intense, you’ll be grateful for those 60 seconds to recover!!! And make sure to take two days to recover before you do your next HIIT session.
