Re: Foods That Burn Fat

Yes you are right lesplease , there is a LOT of difference . Just keeping a tad on your diet doesn't mean that one will lose weight , there has to be a proper regiment to make sure diet , exercises and your body metabolism work together in such a way that it benefits you overall .

Re: Heart rate question

I would go with what johnroberts actually said , makes more sense to go to a specialist to monitor your heart rate and yes most of them are configured in such a way that you wouldn't have any idea about the calories which you have lost apart from the time you actually spend on the HIIT .

Re: Jump rope?

Jump rope is just great. There are an array of benefits (cardio and non cardio) to working out with a jump rope. For one it beats heading to a gym for pumping muscles- this means there's a far greater chance for you to become athletic and energetic as against slowing down with heavy weights etc. Con...

Re: Chest/back muscle balance/imbalance

I'd suggest you lower your 14 kg to around 12 and try it out . Progressing too fast actually isn't good for the body because the muscles need some time to relax as well .
