  • Also depends on if you have self propelled mower....I am older (mid-50s) and overweight but in excellent cardio shape and I have to keep my heart rate up in the Maximum (85-95% of max) for about 50% of the time to get 400-500 cals in 1 hour. So the question is did you feel very winded most of the time??

  • You still burn fat regardless of your heart rate. I read an article that basically said go ahead and and stay at the higher hr and burn the calories because even though you burn MORE fat at the lower heart rate you end up burning MORE Calories at the higher heart rate and the amount of fat burned is almost the same at the…

  • I would say always eat at least portion of the calories you burnt off back on...I have my food managed for good nutrition (aka enough protein - women tend to be bad at getting enough protein) and to meet my total calorie count 1380.

  • I would stay away from Gary Null. I went to one of his lectures and he was so off base on something he said about gluten that I almost got up and walked out. He has misinformation and isn't grounded in the science. (I have a doctorate in Food Science and have read a lot of the hard data out there and know when…

  • You might also want to add CLA as a supplement. In blind placebo trials Conjugated Linoleic Acid has shown the ability to impact body composition in conjunction with diet and exercise.

  • A Protein Shake....whether you are hungry or not...you should have a protein shake within 20 minutes of finishing your workout. Feed your muscles. And make that WHEY PROTEIN...or WHEY PROTEIN ISOLATE. Isolate is better than Concentrate, concentrate still has lactose, fat and cholesterol in it. There are branched chain…

  • I lived in the UK for a bit and UK has stayed true to size where the US each size has actually GONE UP AT LEAST 2 SIZES in the past 20+ years!! So if you think you are a size 10 you are really what used to be a size 14!! So if we put on a size 14 made today it is actually the same as an 18 twenty years ago. The US fashion…

  • One of the best ways to increase your calorie burn in a shorter period of time is Interval Training. It is also a great way to improve your cardiovascular strength. What I do is start at 20% incline at about 1.9 to 2.0 mph for 4 to 5 minutes, my heart rate goes up to around 160 bpm, then I drop to 5% and allow myself to…
