Burning Calories The Smart Way

Okay guys I know I missed a post last weekend, but we were revamping our home and decluttering all over!!  I highly recommend a good decluttering, it not only clears your home but your mind as well.  I would love to post about that and share some of the pics from our household adventures, but today I want to talk about burning calories.


I did some research on the web and found this video:

https://yurielkaim.com/walking-for-weight-loss/

This man's name is Yuri and he comes up with a very scientific and mathematical formula to burning calories.
W=F*D
In essence this video breaks down how energy is burned through work, which is equal to force times distance.  I provided the link so that you can view this video it's about 10 minutes long and he describes in better detail all of the scientific and  mathematical aspects to this concept.   Basically he discusses burning more calories in a shorter amount of time by enhancing weight and distance causing your body to work harder. 
I did some research on Google and YouTube and found several other videos on a channel called AsapScience.  Here's what I learned that:
  • Calories are the amount of energy or heat it takes to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree Celsius
  • Eight glasses of water per day can burn an extra 70 calories multiply that by 3 days you're burning off 200 calories just by drinking water
  • Eight glasses of iced water will burn off 250 calories just because your body needs to work to bring the ice water to body temperature
  • When working out use bursts of cardio to increase your heart rate which will increase the amount of blood pumped to the muscles burning more calories faster
  • Working more than one group of muscles at a time also increases the amount of calories burned
  • Increasing weight or adding resistance adds muscle which also burns more calories
  • Using a steeper incline on your treadmill or walking outdoors will burn more calories as well
  • Explosive exercises such as burpees, jumping jacks, skipping, or jumping rope require more energy resulting in more calories burned

I hope I helped you all with some of these tips, I know I will be using some of them and letting you know the outcomes.  Leave any questions, comments, or suggestions below and thanks for reading!!

Nutritional tips and tricks

Ok so let's talk diet.... We all know that we must eat healthier and for some of us it is a daunting and difficult process.  You suddenly realize that your favorite snacks are now off limits!!  Or having to completely eliminate certain foods, drinks, or food habits....... I felt that fear before, the familiar scary feeling that comes with telling myself "NO!' to soda,  ice cream, cookies, cakes, chips, and so many others.  What I have learned is that it is ok to ease into a change in your eating habits. SnapChat name:  joannamdv I started out by drinking my veggies in my Greens Smoothies, adding fruits, water and ice in the blender and viola all of my fruit and veggie servings are all taken care of.  Of course I still needed to learn better eating habits, so I began adding healthy supplements to my usual foods.  A good example of this is adding flaxseed or chia seeds to foods that I prepare, such as adding flaxseed to my pancakes.  I h...

Progress Report!!

Okay guys so it appears that it is time for a progress report on how my health and fitness journey is going so far. I am pleased to report that I've noticed a change in my body shape I do not weigh myself because I don't want to get hung up on a number but from here on out I will start measuring myself.  I see changes and I would like to document them in a more accurate and organized fashion. The changes I'm seeing in my body are really getting me fired up and motivated to keep pushing forward.  I am so curious to see just how much of a transformation my body can actually make. I'm nowhere near where I want to be but I know that I'm on the right path to getting there. I would rather focus on my small celebrations, such as inches lost, then on negative thoughts or self talk. Aside from watching what I eat and exercising as much as I can and let's be honest it's not as often as I want it to be I also am using a couple of different regimen. 1. Weighted...
