All exercises possess different calorie burning potential but the calorie count for the same exercise can be increased.

 

EXERCISE AND ITS CALORIE BURNING POTENTIAL?

All exercise burns calories for they involve movements and energy is required for every movement made. The calorie burning ability of each exercise depends on the speed and/or force at which the exercise is performed.  This proves the calorie burning potential of an exercise can be increased depending on an individual's motivation for that movement. To explain this statement a little easier lets look at an example.

 

 

 

Imagine you want to run to get to a shop before it closes. The desire to run fast will be low because the importance is low, after all if you don't make the shop in time you can always go another day.  As the importance is lower the calorie count will be far less compared to a sprint needed to escape a dangerous situation. The reason for this is simple, there is now a great desire to run fast in order to survive. An intense effort produced the desired effect - faster leg movements, all down to the motivational level of the individual. If importance is high its easier to increase the calorie count for that exercise providing the individual produces the effort required.

 

  • perceived importance of the exercise is low = motivation is low = lower calorie burning

  • perceived importance of the exercise is high = motivation higher = high calorie burning

 

Before continuing it should be pointed out at this stage that nobody should suddenly start training like a ferocious animal. Training very hard first requires a gradual build up of fitness levels, also any dieter should not attempt hard exercise in the initial stages of a weight loss program. In the beginning stages exercising should be easier to allow more fat burning rather than purely burning calories.

Anyone can apply the process of burning more calories by simply increasing the effort in each exercise. However to be effective it may require the individual to look at their motivation level.

 

 

ALL DIETS WORK!

 

Yes, if weight loss is all you desire, and you don't care where it comes off, then virtually any diet will work - in the beginning stages that is.

 

However, if you wish to Decrease Excess Body Fat Permanently and without Fast or Easy Regains,  then NO DIET WILL EVER WORK!

The problem is dieting actually slows the metabolism as the body needs to burn up muscles to make up for the very low calorie intakes.

 

As Tom Venuto states in his brilliant, New Book, the solution is to Burn the Fat Off, rather than attempting to starve it!

A few ways to burn more calories when exercising:

  • exaggerating each movement in the exercise will help in burning more calories

  • exercising the major muscle groups such as legs, back & buttocks can help for burning calories

  • exercises such as jogging, walking, dancing require extra energy for balance so can be better for burning calories than cycling or rowing

  • burning calories will be increased when movements in an exercise are continuous
