Celebrate
I need a kick up the bum don’t I? I should be stoked that I even lost weight at all in the past month since my eating has been shocking. There I was whingeing that I *only* lost 800 grams, ungrateful much??
I should be celebrating any loss, right? Right! Yes…Hooray!
So, moving on….
I’ve been reading new magazines and re-reading old magazines such as Weight Watchers and Good Health etc and I thought I might start to share some of the more interesting information I come across.
Tonight, in a promotional mini-mag that came with the latest issue of Your Home & Garden magazine, I learnt that, according to experts at the University of Tokyo, people who did strength or resistance training 20 minutes before cycling burned 10% more fat during the aerobic exercise that those who cycled before doing strength training. The theory is that lifting weights will generate hormones that will help release stored fat. Interesting!
I have actually seen this snippet of information mentioned on work-out sites and they said the study involved men so whether it works the same for women I’m not sure, I guess it depends on what the hormones released were?
Today I will leave you with a motivational quote;
