Rockstar77 ▐▄▄♬▄▄▌ - You're trying to lose weight? Cause your routine sounds like your trying to build muscle mass. Low weight - high reps for fat burning. Cardiovascular training should be your main priority.
ReplyDeleteBen - No, you should do Cardio and lift light but more reps and sets.
ReplyDeleteRajinder - Every one says that for losing weight one must burn more calories then one eats.
ReplyDeleteAll focus on either eating less or burning more. Strangely enough when u eat less ur body heats up initially. After some time there is no energy in the body. So people says eating less is not the final solution. One must eat less but do more exercises. When a person exerts more than he is used to in recent past he gets tired. The result he will rest more or eat more.
So what is the solution. Those who have seen titanic, would remember that man woman body in touch produces lot of heat. That means it burns lot of calories. A cold a person burns more calories.
Then u have some people who say that sex act burns lot of calories. But that tires out a person. There is a limit to that as well. Physically as well as emotionally.
Now start thinking - is it just the sex act that produces hear. I do not think so. Even body contact produces lot of heat. That is not tiring physically of emotionally.
It could be emotionally. But I wonder whether it has to be body touch by other sex or could be even contact with the person of same sex.
May be the heat is generated even when ur own body touches other parts of the body.
I think that is true.
So to burn more calories one may try sleeping without putting on clothes. Wearing pants or shirts may cause the body parts not touching other body part.
By when u are not wearing anything but are safe under suitable mattresses or quilts ur body parts are in touch. When u are sleeping u can burn more calories.
That will teach u to master ur body better over a period of time.
U can eat what u feel like and burn those excess calories without tiring urself. May be u are fresh and more energetic in the morning when u get up to burn more calories.
