Video Viral On Youtube: How To Lose Weight While On Bed Rest Even If You Feel Great

I’m asked quite often, what’s the best way to lose weight, to do weights or to do cardio? And that is a fantastic question. But I’m asking a question, rather than answering it. Would you prefer to lose weight while you’re awake or sleeping? This answer is no brainier now so How To Lose Weight While On Bed Rest Even If You Feel Great.
Obviously, this is while you’re sleeping. But how is that possible? While you sleep, how can you lose weight? Are you sure you need to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight? And surely, isn’t this all happening while you’re awake?
In a slightly warped strategy, let me answer those questions. For so long now, compared to weight training, the biggest myth out there in the fitness industry is the myth that cardio is the best way to lose fat.

Here, once and for all, I will put this myth to bed. As is commonly referred to by means of its raw definition “with oxygen” aerobic or cardio. Its counterpart, anaerobic, means “without oxygen”
Your body uses lots and lots of oxygen to perform a long and sustained exercise, such as a 20-35 minute jog. On the other hand, weight training uses very little oxygen. (At work here, different energy systems). Actually, although I would not recommend it, you could even hold your breath and do a set of bicep curls.
Your body utilizes oxygen to convert readily available carbohydrate stores (in the form of muscle and liver glycogen) into energy when you perform aerobic exercise. It’s a complex bio-chemical process, which is why it doesn’t kick in until after you have started around the 2-3 minute mark. (About when you get puffed up during the warm-up).
You will need to replace the spent energy once you’ve completed your aerobic or cardio session. You have about 90 minutes after exercise to maximize the ability of your body to update your meal’s carbohydrates and store them in your muscles and liver before the storage ability of your body drops dramatically.
If that energy is not provided in the form of a meal, your body will burn a small amount of body fat reserve to maintain itself and your metabolism will be dramatically slowed down if there is still no energy supplied. Therefore, the reason why you starve after exercise is not a great way to lose body fat.
The energy used to perform the exercises, muscle and liver glycogen, is still the same during anaerobic or resistance-based training, but the process is simpler, allowing you to recover faster and go again.
Tiny micro-fibre tears in the muscle tissue can be created by anaerobic or resistance training and your body must repair itself. You force your body to grow, to adapt and to repair it. You have not done weight training if you do not know what DOMS either means or feels like.

If you regularly do this form of resistance or anaerobic training, your body will continue to grow, repair, recover, and recover in an ongoing way.

It takes an awful lot of energy for your body to be able to do this. It actually takes so much energy that most of this repair, recovery and recovery is done by your body AT NIGHT while you sleep.

Oh, and here’s the kicker, if you don’t get that good night’s sleep, or get that meal into you after the workout, guess what, you can’t repair, recover, and recover, meaning all that hard work at the gym is going to be for nothing.

Now, as you read this, I can see all you women cringing and squirming in your seats. “But I don’t want big muscles!!!” This is where we put another myth to bed. Girls, you just don’t have enough of the most important hormones in your system to make your muscles large. (Testosterone, not unless you’re pre-op) Yes, you’re going to create micro-fibre tears (if you’re working hard enough) Yes, you’re going to be sore, Yes, you’re going to be toned and YES, during the recovery process, you’re going to burn lots of body fat, but, NOT, I repeat, you’re not going to create large muscles. COMPLETE STOP!

So, to summarize, if your goal is body fat loss and you want to quickly and easily burn truck loads of fat, IE WHILE YOU SLEEP, take some form of resistance training. If you enjoy flagging yourself for hours on end on cardio machines, eating truckloads of carbs to maintain the enormous amount of cardio exercises you do, all to burn and burn your bitty riddle amount of body fat, then keep doing what you’re doing.

Oh, and the last myth I’m going to shoot down is about body fat workouts for you. You know the ones where you exercise to burn body fat at a specific heart rate zone. Yes, it’s true that you will burn body fat if you work out in the “body fat zone” but what will your body use for energy for the rest of the day when you step off that machine? Muscle and liver glycogen are the answer.

Burn muscle and liver glycogen during the workout (i.e. resistance-based training) and burn body fat for the rest of the day and even longer, as I have already pointed out.
