FIVE SIGNS YOU ARE NOT BURNING THOSE CALORIES RIGHT

For gym lovers and fitness fans, you obviously must have encountered this situation or yet to experience it. Over time you get too comfortable with your workout routine that you make no impact again and most times you don’t know it until you start gaining some ridiculous pounds. The below listed are what to check out to know if you are getting over comfortable with your work out.

1. You repeat same routine over and over.

Starting fitness activity is naturally hard during the first couple of times but once you settle into it, you would like to keep doing it over and over again; however, the constant repetition of same exercise leads to reduced burning of calories and as such needs to be switched up.

Your body adapts quickly, sometimes in just a matter of a week, to whatever exercise you’re doing. Janice Clark, a personal trainer in Los Angeles said “Once that happens, your body doesn’t have to work as hard, and you burn fewer calories.” Its better and beneficial if one learns how to juggle from activity to activity in couple of weeks

2. You talk with friends the entire time.

Its fun having a workout buddy whom you talk with while doing your jam but throwing out all your breath in every instance of talk makes your fitness activity less effective. Learn to throw in just a few words on workouts

3. You don’t feel like you’ve done anything.

Workout is challenging especially when done well. Most times after fitness programs you feel like you haven’t done anything and good enough you ought to be honest to yourself and work hard enough so you can burn your desired calories. Being honest to yourself helps you do challenging stuff but that doesn’t mean you should work so hard to injure yourself or break a bone and become friends with Dr. Bones

4. You’re binge-watching TV.

It will pass the time. But you can’t focus when you’re deep into your favorite show, or when you flip through a magazine, or scroll through email and texts. It’s too hard to get to and maintain the right intensity when you do that. And if you lean on the machine while you read? That’s totally cheating. Do most of your workouts without the extra entertainment. If you must watch TV or read a book, check in every few minutes to make sure you’re at least working at a moderate intensity.

5. You’ve barely broke a sweat.

Perspiration is an evident sign of workout even if you are working under cold you at least should break a sweat. Yes… some people sweat more than others and some like a fish skin barely break a sweat .if you didn’t perspire a drop during workout you are obviously not revving the engine well
