Burning Calories

How to maximise burning calories

It's most likely, you know that both cardio and weight training offer what scientists call excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), which describes the increase in metabolic rate that occurs after a workout. But do you know why it happens, or better yet, the best way to maximize this effect for burning calories?

For years, researchers have theorized that the boost in metabolism comes from the body's effort to process the lactic acid produced during exercise and to replenish depleted levels of creatine phosphate. But to find out how you might be able to maximize EPOC, scientists at the Norwegian University of Sport and Physical Education (Oslo) recently examined what variables provide the longest and highest rise in post-exercise metabolism. They discovered that when it comes to cardio, long and slow wins the race: Duration, not intensity or mode, is the biggest factor contributing to that after-exercise metabolic rise. As your metabolism increases so does the rate of burning calories.

So what about weight training, you may ask? The same study found that the opposite is true. The more intensely you lift--which equates to heavy weights, ladies--the higher your post-workout metabolic rate. What all this means is, when you go to the gym, lift heavy and get in that long cardio session. Afterward, you can sit back, relax and enjoy burning calories well after your workout has ended.

... its fantastic. Got a lot of guidance from it. This really hit home for me, and I am going to try some of your suggestions. So already its having a positive effect. Thanks. You've already changed my life.

Hi Aymen

I must tell you, I read your book, and I've read many a metaphysical book, but your knowledge as expressed by you, made me feel your data is valuable information (MAYBE THE VERY BEST)... You have a way of clarifying that which you're teaching, making what is extremely difficult (spiritual awareness) understandable, clear to me the student...

I can't believe that I have been so blind, this is amazing information that's so easy to put into my life!

I didn't believe it at first. I was pretty stubborn and thought I knew how to handle my life but the part about getting rid of sexual thoughts intrigued me so I went ahead - It's the best thing I've ever done.

Aymen

I'm amazed at how much better I feel in comparison to the past few weeks.. I have managed my thoughts and emotions more effectively for the past few days, guided by the contents of your book.

Hello Aymen, Great book...

I just received the manual a few days ago. I must say I am very impressed! Everything is much clearer now for me and it is so well explained. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.

Just a quick note to say hello and thanks. I discovered I actually spent so much time fantasizing about sex, what a waste of energy. Now I focus on my wife and my business. The result is amazing.

Thanks for this opportunity. May God keep your work going forth.

...Reading and re-reading the "thought" study has helped me.

I just wanted to say thank you I am so happy I found your site and read this book. It's the best self help book I've read!
