SubscribeWhy Longer Workouts Can Keep You Fat
Time may be the most important aspect in our lives. It keeps ticking away no matter what we do. It’s what we live by, it’s our guideline. It keeps us organized and on schedule. There’s 24 hours in a day, most of us work 40 hours (or more) a week, we divide our day up into hourly increments and so it’s no surprise that we judge things based on time.
If someone worked 8 hours, you automatically assume that person did more work than someone that worked 4 hours…right? The problem is, that assumption neglects a very important component…quality. Quality can’t be defined by time…in fact, more often than not quality has an inverse relation to time. You’re more likely to perform higher quality of work in a shorter amount of time. And the longer you work, the more likely your quality declines. And this holds true for fitness as well.
It may come as a surprise, but working out longer isn’t always good for you, and it doesn’t mean you’re going to lose more weight either. In fact, it can stop you from losing weight all together. There’s reason to believe that your body wasn’t designed to exercise more than a certain amount a day and doing more can actually be more harmful.
So if you’re still stuck in the mind set, that you need to workout out longer so you can burn more calories…you’ve been going down the wrong path and it’ll only lead you to more frustrations.
Quality over quantity. Save precious time by learning to work with your body, so you can lose weight easier and more efficiently and achieve optimum health and fitness at the same time. Believe it or not, it’s much easier than your think.
