When you perform a continuous exercise, you burn five calories for every liter of oxygen you consume. Running in general consumes a lot more oxygen than walking. One would assume that if you walked one mile or ran one mile you would burn the exact same amount of calories because you are doing the same distance, moving the same amount of body weight. This misconception comes from the mere fact that when you are performing higher intensity workouts, you are...

For the longest time we have thought that as long as women got 30 minutes of exercise, five days a week they could keep weight off. 150 minutes of moderate to intense exercise was the goal for most women and now a 13 years study is showing that it may take more than that. Please do not throw your hands up in the air just yet! The federal guidelines of 150 minutes a week of moderate-to-intense exercise are designed to...

We have all heard of interval training and the benefits that come along with it. It has been clinically proven that interval training has metabolic benefits that outweigh steady paced cardio activity. On top of that, taking your heart rate to its peak and bringing it down as though to make a spike in it will give even more benefits. Whether you are running, swimming, biking or walking you can apply this interval training to any cardio exercise. This type of...

Rest is as equally important as exercising itself. Just how important is it though? Assuming you are exercising at a moderate to intense level 4-5 times a week, rest is essential to seeing the payoff of your exercise routine. Most people think transformation happens during exercise and that is completely false. While you may notice a pump, increased blood flow and fatigue, the body makes its “true” transformation in a resting state. Sleep is incredibly important to recharge, repair and...

The New Year is right around the corner, and a vast majority of you will make some sort of “health resolution.” This is great and all, but when you make the decision to get healthier use this acronym I got from Women’s Fitness, S.M.A.R.T. SPECIFIC- Make sure your goals are not broad! “I want to get healthy,” is way too broad. Narrow you goal(s) down. Instead, “I want to do a half marathon by July.” “I want to lose 10% body...

There have been several studies on the effectiveness of exercise and how it helps boost your immune system. There are some things that seem to protect us from catching colds and the flu. One of those things appears to be moderate, consistent exercise. Research continues to support a link between moderate, regular exercise and a healthy immune system. Early studies found that recreational exercisers reported fewer colds once they began running regularly. Moderate exercise has been linked to a positive...

Physiologic improvement in sports only occurs during the rest period following hard training. This adaptation is in response to maximal loading of the cardiovascular and muscular systems and is accomplished by improving efficiency of the heart, increasing capillaries in the muscles, and increasing glycogen stores and...

If you wander through the cardio section of the gym, you will find more women there than men. Women simply love cardio. They think it’s the best way for them to lose weight without adding “unwanted” muscle mass. Well, take it from a guy who loves cardio, this is a mistake. Cardio can help you burn calories and it can help you lose weight. However, it is not more effective than strength training is. In fact, strength training can lead to...
