I have lost almost 100 pounds. I have done it with a Positive Attitude Change. Not a Diet Its Permanent Life Style Change. I use Fitday.com I have a personal trainer, who is a professional MMA fighter. I workout every day some way. I ride a bike, I hike I do between 500 and 1000 crunches every day as well as 100 leg raises from the floor. I am in the gym three days a week in addition to the trainer. I work all of the Kyser machines to failure, until my muscles are screaming in pain and then I rest 5 minutes and continue. I have eliminated sweet tea, all carbonated drinks, all foods containing Sugar or Hydrogenated Oil. I try to eat chemical free and natural, I keep my sodium under the FDA 2100 mg per day. I think of food as fuel. The more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest. This has worked real good for me
I'm sorry guys, calories in - calories out is a myth. Technically it is true, but it misses the issue completely. What kinds of foods you eat is what counts. So if you try to get fit based on calories alone without fixing your eating, you're going to mess yourself up, often beyond repair (the first warning sign is flu or joint problems, pulled muscles).
When you eat the pies is nearly as important as how many pies....post exercise your whole body is running quicker. Intensity makes the effect last longer. So if your going to have treats try and do it after exercise in the next 40mins
According to the Compendium of Physical Activities wrestling consumes 6 METs (based on 5 min matches), boxing/sparring consumes 7.8 METs and martial arts 10.3 METs
The definition of MET (Metabolic Equivalent) is the ratio of the work metabolic rate to the resting metabolic rate. One MET is defined as 1 kcal/kg/hour and is roughly equivalent to the energy cost of sitting quietly. So a normal 100kg man burns 600 kCals by wrestling solidly for an hour, 780 by sparring in the ring and 1030.
A typical pint of lager has approximately 250 cals so an afternoon on the mats, assuming 10-12 5 min rounds followed by 2 pints of ale, earns you a net gain of 100 calories which is what you would burn in an armchair for an hour anyway. Ain't life a bitch?!!
Sadly even vigorous sex is only worth up to 2.8 METs so if your interest is erotic lay of the post coital beer and pies!
You seem to know what your talking about. Maybe you can help me with this question. I've often wondered is the measure of exercise related caloric burn includes the calories expended as a result of the increased metabolic rate over the next several hours. Are these included in the numbers.
In general it seems that the caloric consumption benefit of exercise are nominal. The true benefits come from developing increased muscle mass which increases metabolic rate and appetite suppression.
I'm not an expert but according to my HRM the calorie burn of a gym session is c.600 an hour including the normal calories you need to function at rest, so 500 extra ones. That's based on pushing my heart rate to 90% of peak for half of that time and 75% of peak for the other half. I'm not sure that calorie consumption from exercise is nominal but a lot of people certainly seem to place an over-optimistic reliance on the ability of exercise to counteract excess calorie intake. I should know - I am one of them! So 4 x 1 hour workouts per week burns an extra 2000 calories per week, but 1 evening in the pub per week undoes it all leaving me entirely reliant on good lighting and XL trunks.
As for the extra post exercise burn, I'm aware that it can be significant but I have no great insights
