143619625_afa1d9397d[1] We all have our own way of doing exercise, but when you haven’t done any for a long time and possibly gained weight. Because you are trying to lose excess pounds you can tend to get into a mentality. Of going at your exercise routine like a bull in a china shop.

And with so much information about exercise and which is best for yourself yourself, it can become quite confusing as to what to do and how much to do of it. Is this probably why sometimes we tend to think doing more is better rather than a little bit less.

A study which was done in Ottawa , followed the progress of some women who over exercised they were found to consume approximately 90 percent of the calories that they tend to burn.

Compared to those people who don’t over exercise, there figure came out at 30 percent which is quite a significant difference. If for example you tend to want to work out for 90 minutes then make sure that you only do cardio for 60 of those minutes.

It may be best to split your routines into two say do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, and 30 minutes of what is called the core or resistance training. This will be more efficient than doing one session of 90 minutes of exercise.

In order to maximize what you’re doing focus more on doing resistance training, this is far more effective in burning calories up than conventional aerobic exercise. There is nothing wrong with aerobic exercise in order to improve overall fitness and health, the latter is just better. For people trying to maximize their weight loss efforts.
