Regulars at the gym must be used to the word intensity, but for those who don’t know what ‘intensity’ means it basically refers to the level/amount of physical power a person uses while exercising. It is an extremely crucial component of a workout regime, which if done in the correct amount helps the body become stronger. In turn, there is an overall change in body fat percentage, weight, endurance and strength! Part of this is measuring your heart rates, while at rest, during the workout and finally its maximum rate.

Losing weight is arguably one of the goals in everyone’s life. Whether a little, a lot or perhaps just a moderate amount, we all are working on some area of our body where we can shed those extra kilos. Fat, one of our WORST enemies is actually the MOST efficient energy source! It takes one pound of stored fat to provide you with 3,600 calories of energy; which is WAY BEYOND the amount an average person even burns in a single day. Now imagine, how much of fat is probably in your body… how much of exercise it would take…

We all have heard of ‘fats’, but how many of us really know that there are many different types of fats? An essential ‘MACRONUTRIENT’, fats are very important components of our diet and a source of energy for the body. For example, fat helps to move some vitamins around in the body & also helps in the creation of hormones. However, fats contain high amounts of CALORIES & small amounts of fat can add up quickly!

So; whether it is from the carbs, proteins or fats in our food substances; there are bound to be calories! Once we put this energy into our body, we can then use it to engage in physical activities; thereby ‘BURNING’ the energy (calories). The amount of calories that each individual required differs depending on certain factors such…

Knowing what to eat is just as important as knowing how much to eat; but one of the most important components of a diet is the number of carbohydrates that you consume. Carbohydrates often referred to, as ‘carbs’ are the main sources of energy that we get from our food. Although, we could get energy from proteins and fats, carbs specifically glucose provides us with the essential nutrients required for our brain. Therefore it is very important to include a good amount of carbs in our diet. However, we often get misled by including, ‘bad carbs’ over ‘good carbs’ in…

Working out is great and will surely help in burning the excess kilos that you may have. However, if we understand how the body breaks down different calorie sources and the effect that they have on our bodies; maybe…JUST MAYBE we can control the way we eat and workout in a better manner! While we know there are different foods which are ‘KNOWN TO BE’ more fattening than others; the bottom line remains the same: ALL FOODS CONTAIN CALORIES! What we really need to understand is how differently our body breaks down or reacts to these calories. Eating healthy is…
