CELLULITE: THE FATBURNER
March 24th, 2009The way to turn a leisurely walk into a fat-burner is to go for a longer duration.
If you don’t like exercise which requires bursts of energy, duration is the only other way to turn walking into working.
Walk for more than half an hour – because you begin to burn fat for fuel after 35 minutes of non-stop movement providing you keep your exercise effort in the zone around 6.0-7.5
EARLY IS BEST
Prefer to do exercise early in the day because doing so will kick-start your metabolism first thing in the morning.
SKIP THE MIDNIGHT SNACK
The midnight snack is never essential. Nachos, corn chips, chocolate and ‘Elvis food’ are what many people eat at that hour. So skip the midnight snack. If you get the urge, just munch on a piece of fruit which is easy to digest.
Remember: what you run on in the morning is what you’ve eaten the night before.
Breakfast is important, but it’s not what fuels your body until later in the day. What you are operating on in the morning is what you had for dinner the night before. So make sure you eat something that is easy to digest and give your body time to digest it.
You will sleep uneasily if your body is trying to figure out what to do with those cheese melts!
