Riley, all i gotta say is...as the bigger person I will not fight back haha ;) although I know for a fact that many appreciated my flip flop cake blog! Anyways...because we are focused on healthy things, since we are a college of health sciences after all, this blog has some interesting tips for those of us out there that wouldn't mind losing a little weight in a easier fashion....we all know that cardio is the way to go when we are after losing a few pounds...but sometimes we really don't want to spend that much time on a treadmill or running endless miles! (am I right?)
so, I have learned many different options, but one that really interests me is intervals, and how they can actually be more beneficial!! Less time and better results? who would say no!! mix sprints with jogging for only 20 minutes, can help you lose 3x the fat than those who jog steadily for 40 minutes. They say the intervals spark the fat-mobilizing hormones while making cardio capacity better, therefore easier next time you hop on! if we do the same boring workout everyday you may not notice anything changing, well sometimes it is due to not overtaxing and making other muscles work, if we use the same muscles everyday the body and adjust and basically plateaus at that point thus not helping with further weight loss...
I could really go on forever about more scientific stuff, but just remember you still have to eat right, just going to the gym everyday does not subtract from eating poorly! i know lecture lecture...but really this is some pretty interesting stuff!!
