Burn Fat Faster! I tried it, it works!

Hehe! It's so funny this is mentioned because I recently started doing this myself. I can't handle too intense of exercise so I've been walk/trotting (what i do can hardly be considered jogging yet lol) on the trail by my house every day. Every other song that comes on my ipod I will alternate between walking and trotting. I'm seriously AMAZED at how much noticeable fat I have burned at such a quick rate. I highly recommend interval training of some kind.0

One more question....Interval training is not on the list to choose from, I did this for 40 minutes on the elliptical including a 5 minute warm up and cool down using a 1:2 ratio. Since we burn more cals interval training vs the consistent speed method (the way mfp calculates) should I add more time to the counter (like 15 mins) in order to account for the additional calories burned interval training?0

Robin, since everybody is different, it doesn't really matter much as the mfp stated exercise calories are going to be a VERY rough estimate anyway, you could be off by tens to hundreds of calories. If you REALLY want to know how many calories you are burning during a workout, you need an HRM with a chest strap or some other way to actively measure heart rate (not one of the cheap wrist only ones, they only estimate heart rate)
Plus, you know you can add that exercise and just change the calorie total anyway right? just enter a higher number in there if you're guestimating anyway.0 -
