Myth Busters #46 – Revolution Personal Training

In general circumstances, the best exercises for weight loss are those that involve weight-bearing such as walking or jogging.

For a long time people have believed that exercising for extended periods of time at a lower intensity means you will burn more fat compared to a shorter period of higher intensity training.

No matter what your size or weight, resistance training i.e. using weights or your own body weight, is actually a great way to lose weight.

When you become more experienced with a particular form of exercise your body adapts to perform the exercise more efficiently and expend less energy.

If you find yourself extremely busy with work and other aspects of life, it doesn’t have to affect your fitness goals. It is always possible to get a good workout without having to head to the gym and can be completed in a short period of time. The key is, of course, intensity.
