Default Re: Have a great new years eve

Some neighbours and me were talking about the gym yesterday. We see a lot of people who hit the gym twice a week but aren't in really good shape, while we also know many people who just train at home and look just as good if not better.
In the last (half?) year I haven't done much training, but a few weeks ago I started again. Push-ups, sit-ups, arm curls. Oh and DDR for some extra cardio.
My neighbours saw that I was actually pretty muscled... I just need to lose some fat so you can see it.

That's because how you look weight wise is about 90% diet and 10% exercise.

When you think about using exercise to burn calories, it is so much more inefficient than just eating less calories. It takes a huge amount of time and work just to burn 100 calories.

Doing things to build muscle though is really beneficial since muscles are like fat burning factories. The bigger they are the easier it is to lose weight. That's why you should typically focus more on your legs than any other body part, since those muscles are so large.

There's also some science behind how if you train your leg muscles first and get blood flowing there, then work out another body part it makes that exercise more beneficial, but I don't recall how that works.
