 Hey everybody, I'm Lance Goyke and today we're going to discuss the best way to burn calories. So the real person answer if I'm going to cut to the chase here is Do whatever What you can do that will keep you active, right? So whatever type of exercise you like doing is a good way to burn calories second Best way to burn calories is to not need to burn them. So watch what you're eating. Don't eat. Don't overeat Don't look at exercise as a way to excuse your poor eating habits. That is not the right way to think about this It's it's easy to fall into that trap because we like to indulge in some, you know, various foods and stuff But for a long-term a healthy solution, it's really hard to keep high exercise intensity up Throughout the rest of your life, you're gonna build the bad habits, right? A good example a lot of people that I train come to me because I you know I have a background in working with physical therapists transitioning people into fitness out of therapy and What these people are accustomed to is working out for five six seven days a week Really intensely and then they get hurt and then they can't do that anymore And so they can't do their deadlifts and donuts anymore and they still eat the donuts because they love donuts, right? And so they lose their body composition. They start to put on more fat and they lose their muscle so if You had not built these poor habits in the first place these I'm gonna eat whatever I can because I work out a lot then You know, you don't have to recover from that A couple you know several years ago there were we had the Olympics and Michael Phelps's diet was revealed He basically swam all day and had a bunch of McDonald's and stuff That is because he puts out a lot of energy If he stops working out, it's easy for him to put on a lot more weight So just to understand that there is this balance that you need to be aware of now The best way to burn calories we talked about logistically just whatever will keep you active and Then we talked about don't need to by eating better Third point that I want to make so in general I can burn more calories if I never stop moving So purely aerobic like moderate intensity Sweatin like crazy, but can sustain this level of activity those types of activities Are going to burn more calories because I can do them for longer now Burning more calories within a given time Then we start to look at something more like high intensity interval training or something like really intense weightlifting Where I'm pushing myself to the brink of fatigue in that given point of time I'm producing more calorie or I'm burning more calories. Yes, but I can't maintain that level of activity So while I recover from it my caloric output dips back down and so I'm not produced or I'm not burning I did it again. I'm not burning as many calories as before So if my only goal is to burn more calories Generally, I'm gonna want to do something aerobic that I can support for a long period of time Now the last thing I want to ask you is why do you want to burn more calories? Again, is it so that you can eat more? That's probably not the goal and it's just a lot more work. It's a lot more wear and tear on your body to exercise to Compensate for your bad diet now That kind of works it really does if I work out enough, you know, the Michael Phelps example is a really good example He works out all day and he can still be healthy and eat McDonald's because it's just calories It's not providing him with that much nutrition, but he's burning off all those calories anyway For the average person who has a job a life a family Then you're not going to be able to spend all your time working out, right? You're gonna have to spend your time doing things that are a little bit less intense and Maybe require a little bit less calories. So I Would consider again ask yourself. Why do you want to burn more calories? Probably if you're looking to burn more calories, you're looking to circumvent making the dietary changes that you need to make so Just a little food for thought
