How many calories will you burn in your workout today?

All of us understand the importance of calories in regards to weight loss (if you don’t, I suggest you check out this post). I think most of us are pretty good at tracking and monitoring the calories we take into our bodies (dieting), but what about the calories we burn (activity)? Regarding weight loss, it’s important that you burn up as many calories as you can in addition to closely monitoring what you take in. That’s why today for your “Weekly Workout Plan” we’re focusing on melting as many calories as possible in the time you may have. Want to burn 100 calories? I’ve got a workout for that. Want to burn 1000? I’ve definitely got a workout for that, too! Something for everyone today and it starts… right… now… …

How Long Does It Take To Lose 1 Pound?

July 16, 2016

We’ve all been there before. You’re a week into a new workout plan and excited about how things are going. You’ve been working out regularly and eating healthily. You feel like you’ve got more energy and that you’re well on your way to achieving those weight loss goals. At the end of the week the moment of truth arrives – time to assess all your hard work and weigh in. You step on the scale and wait nervously for the results. The number suddenly appears and this week you’ve managed to lose… 1 pound. 1 stinking, measly, otherwise-insignificant pound. All that exercising, eating healthy, and making those changes and you only lost 1 pound?!! “Well that was stupid” you think as you burn your workout clothes and head to the grocery store for 2 bags of Oreos.

Sound familiar? Unfortunately it happens to all of us. We start a new fitness program, we don’t see the immediate results we thought we would, and immediately our fitness program dies. This “lack of results” is one of the main reasons we start and then stop our fitness endeavors. But what if I told you the problem isn’t with your “lack of results” – the problem is with your perception of what should be happening. Today I wanted to talk more about that “one pound” you lost and why instead of quitting you should be celebrating an amazing victory!…

Burn 100 Calories Now: A quick way to workout!

July 26, 2013

Be sure to follow on Pinterest and Facebook for more workouts and fitness ideas!

There are days when I really only have about 10 minutes to get in a quick workout before heading to work or before going to bed. This is a quick and easy way to sneak in a workout when you are short on time. You don’t need any equipment (except a watch or a clock to time yourself) and you can do these exercises in the comfort of your home or even at the gym.

Challenge your kids to do this with you and see who can do more repetitions of each exercise. It’s a fun way to sneak some exercise into your day!

In order for this workout to be effective, you will need to do as many repetitions of each exercise as you possibly can. You are capable of doing more than you think!

Burn 100 Calories in less than 10 minutes:

Jog in place for one minute

Jumping jacks for one minute

Crunches for one minute

Push ups for one minute

Deep squats for one minute

Burpees for one minute

High knees for one minute

Butt kicks for one minute

Jog in place for one minute

There are a lot of misleading workouts out there that will have you believe you can burn 100 calories after a couple of jumping jacks and crunches.

Burning 100 calories is a lot of work and in order to truly burn them off, you will have to push yourself every second of this workout.

Do this workout today and count how many repetitions of each exercise you complete during the one-minute period. Challenge yourself to get faster and faster each time you do it.

Make it happen,

Jared
