I'm off to the gym and since I don't eat breakfast I've just had a 'special K' bar with 90j or something energy in it. Is that alot for a little bar and an hours workout or not?
Also, when i'm working out, if my heart rate is between 100-150 thats fat burning and if my heart rate is over 150 thats cardiovascular. Is that right?
As you can see i'm new to the gym!
Also try energy drinks. They really work.
As for the heart thing. Low intensity work (jogging) is fat burning, high intensity is cardiovascular. It's not as precise as heart rate though.
I'd recommend trying to cut back from other meals, and do breakfast properly, if you're trying to cut back on the calories you're taking in.
You need some energy, and the right kind of breakfast provides it well. Might help you stop snacking on bad stuff later too.
I've spent ages trying to convince myself that gyms are pointless (if you run/cycle and do 'home exercices'), as I'm too cheap to get a membershup. But I reluctantly have to admit they are good for providing a bit of variety and somewhere to exercise while avoiding the general public.
My boyfriend has devised a little work out rota for me. I don't like the tread mills in the gym so I've decided to do stretches at home, then walk to the gym as a little work out. Good eh?
