The smoothie and wrap eating type
Happy Friday!
I’ll tell ya. I can people watch all day sometimes. My favorite type is the person who insists on a smoothie for energy before they exercise.
As soon as they’re done exercising, 30 minutes later, they’re starving! So, they get themselves a wrap.
60 minutes after the start of their exercise journey, 1000 calories has been consumed, 30 minutes was used to eat and the other 30 to exercise. Interesting.
Trading 1 hour of your time in to exercise for 30 minutes so you can burn 200-350 calories for 800-1000 calories isn’t worth it, at all.
It’s worth it if you want to feel good. However, if you want to change how you look, that trade of time and calories for less time, more calories and sweat is not going to pay off!
If you’re exercising to change how you look it’s imperative to realize this.
You can run for 2 hours, be dripping in sweat, have burned 1500 calories, however, if you go grab yourself a milkshake and a turkey sandwich even, you’ll have been better off not exercising in the first place.
THE reason why you see people in the gym over and over – looking the same time after time – is because they’re eating too much.
Think about that today and this weekend.
Are you exercising to change the way you feel or look? (No matter what it’ll make you feel good though!)
Thoughts? I'd love to hear them! Share them with me on Twitter or on our feedback page.
