8 Workouts That Give you the Afterburn Effect

Image
Weight loss experts unanimously agree that one should place a great deal of importance on dieting to lose weight followed by exercising on a regular basis to create a calorie deficit to accelerate the weight loss process.

Elaborating further, EPOC (excess post-exercise oxygen consumption), also called the “afterburn effect” is a state where your body continues to burn calories long after you have finished exercising – to replenish oxygen in the body, to remove lactic acid buildup, r...

8 Ways To Lose Weight on Weekends

Image
From Monday to Friday, we tend to stick to our diet program and workout drill religiously, but come Friday evening – most of us drop all guards down because “Thank God It’s Friday!” It’s a time to chill, relax, and basically have a good time, and that means putting a temporary break on every routine that would lead to weight loss. Most people following a weight loss diet often schedule “cheat meals” on weekends because that’s when we plan outings with friends, go on date nights, and have brunches and family dinners. However, cheat meals do often get converted into a “cheat day” and cheat weekend, with absolutely no control of calories consumed.
