Burning Calories

As every dieter knows - losing weight is incredibly hard work. Many people also know that in order to lose weight you must burn more calories than you consume. However not everyone knows that just to lose one pound of body fat you must burn on average around 3,500 calories

It is a known fact that dieting alone does not produce a speedy weight loss. This is due to the fact that 3,500 calories is a lot to burn off and can take some time. In order to increase weight loss you should try to keep to a daily diet of about 1250 calories, eating 3 meals per day, also drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. (View calorie list)

Calories are burnt all the time – even while you are reading this you will have burnt around two calories normally. However if you do no or little exercise then you will burn off calories at a very slow rate, and in order to lose that excess weight you will have to burn of those calories. There are many products that WWS offer, to help with this one of which is the Thermo Burn XTR which may help to speed up the metabolism and has been link to helping cut down carbohydrate cravings which may help to burn of some of those excess calories. 

In order to complete a burn of a 1000 calorie workout you must be prepared to train hard in a 60 minute workout at an intensity level that is 80 percent or more of your maximum effort. This however, is not something you can simply jump into, but rather something that you must work up to gradually, however which may be possible with the help dietary products.

To begin with you could exercise intensely for five or ten minutes at a time, building up the workout as you gain increased fitness levels. This will also help to tone your body so while you may not be loosing excessive amounts of weight, you will look and feel slimmer.

Ideally, once you begin your full 1000 calorie workout you will want to exercise three to six days per week. This does not mean going to the gym and working out on a treadmill six times a week this could be done in your own home following simple exercise routine (View exercise routines) or by doing some of the following,

• Go for a walk after lunch.
• Choose the stairs instead of taking the lift.
• Walk (or even jog) some of your shorter journeys.
• Get off the bus one or two stops earlier and walk the rest of the way.

 Exercising does not have to be a chore and the key to loosing weight is to find something that you enjoy doing.
