Interesting i guess we are all different. Im glad you have found what works for you.

You are right habit building is the key. It just happens that for me the most essential is excercise and nutrition. It is through this that i can maintain all other habits which are beneficial. And i wasnt actually referring to weight loss specifically. I have to do 2 hours wether im trying to lose weight or not.

For me excercise is as essential to life as eating food or breathing....without it i will die...maybe not as quick as not breathing but i wouldnt take that long.

For me its like breathing air if i dont excercise to an intense degree daily i will start to suffocate.

It goes downhill in the sense that i quickly start lacking energy, sleeping more, eating worse, gaining weight, feeling depressed...just about every crappy symptom you could think of. And it has to be everyday because i just dont feel right missing even one day.

Yes it says NOT NECESSARILY

Go google webmd top 9 fitness myths busted and you will see im not wrong

Yes it is a pointless remark but i just thought because i noticed it maybe others would notice it for themselves

Yes you would sweat more if all conditions were exactly the same except the intensity of excercise (im referring to the same individual under the same conditions) because your body would be creating more heat and would have to cool itself more. Simple right?

As i said i have weight loss which corresponds to more than 1000 calories from 1000 swings so for me it does burn that many regardless of what you think the studies say even though I cited a respected study and explained why it burns that many. So since i am not lying about my weight loss i am not irresponsible. I am just…

Except you control CICO it has no equivalency with the stock market

Neither have i

Thanks glad you find it useful! Just make sure your form is good for all of them.

Unreal. Read the actual study that you cite. The kettlebell weighed 16 kg not 24 kg which is what i use. The study did not account for the huge anaerobic burn that kettlebell swings produce which is an extra 25% burn rate if you read the ACE study. They only looked at oxygen consumption with a light bell. If you even know…

You know what it doesnt matter. I know i burn over 1000 doing 1000 swings so thats fine.

Per minute is not that high but over 75 min total burn is high

Seriously i give up! I know what that level of kettlebell swings do even if others dont. Just trying to help.

Yes of course it comes from CICO which is why food and activity are both taken into account

Well you are still burning a large amount of calories between sets which is why it is a HIIT workout and dont forget the anaerobic burn

I dont understand why someone would dispute my level of burn as it corresponds very closely with my weight loss. I just dont get it.

Doesnt apply to me because i use a 24 kg kettlebell.

Dude what u are saying is so off. If i worked at 1/3 the intensity i would have a heart rate that was around my resting heart rate which clearly i dont.

Obviously you didnt read the study. They gave an example of a person doing 6 reps in 15 seconds followed by 15 sec of rest which is 12 reps a minute. So that is 38 reps per minute less than your lowest estimate. Dude just read the study dont just pull numbers out of thin air.

Yah i agree which is why i said 1000 calories min not 1500

Well as you said those bring my calorie burn down there are other things that bring it up. Like i use a 24 kg bell and they only used a 20kg max. I am most likely heavier than most of them at 230 lbs and there burn rate for 1 hour would be over 1200 calories. Whereas im only claiming 1000 over 75 min. And this burn rate…

I moved to 1000 with a heavier bell but can only do 4 times a week

Well it is actually minimum 25 min of actual work ( 30 sec per set × 50 sets) and the remaining time is rest. I use the ACE snatch test study as a guideline where they burned 20.2 calories per minute in 20 min of snatches where 10 of those minutes where rest. So 1000 calories sounds pretty reasonable to me

It is a goddamn nightmare in a good way. Once i pick it up i cant put it down. And yes i cant do it more than 4 times a week due to hamstring and glute overload. Ive never had a form check im self taught which is bad i know but i did study intensly for months to learn it and since my back is only a little sore i feel…

Nice! Lol. I should try that

Oh i mean from my other threads
