Thinking of dividing single workout into two

Post by Weasel »

I normally walk about 60 minutes at 4.5mph each day. fat loss has plateaued the last two weeks so I was thinking of confusing body by dividing 60 minute walk into a morning and evening 30-40minute walk. Do you think this would work to kick start the fat burning again :?: :?:

I can't be definitive on that, as it might work for some but possibly not for others. The best thing would be to try it for around 3-4 weeks and see.

Your body has gotten used to the workout, why you hit your plateau. I would try it out and confuse your body up a bit. Also try fluctuating your calories a bit, another reason you may have plateaued, your body getting used to the intake and outtake. You could also try High Intensity Interval Training, it's a really intense workout that takes all but 30 minutes. It should really help to get your metabolism revved and sparked again!
Good luck, hope this helps!

I think I just got impatient. knee couldn't handle the two walks plus it meant doubling the narcotics I have to take which I didn't want to do. Anyway, things are back on track just slower as I am near goals now (166lbs, target 165, 84cm waist, target 81cm) with results showing up after 2-3 weeks which is understandable since not too much more to go.

Thanks for all the posts!! :D
