Some of us want to exercise harder and longer in the hopes that it will improve our results!!! Pity this does not work and can actually work against you. 3 exercise mistakes that could leave you fatter than before you started: 1. Exercising too long 2. Exercising too hard 3. Exercising too frequently Exercising is a type of stress. When just the right amount is done it is a positive stress. Something physiologists call “eustress.” This type of stress causes favorable adaptations in the body and usually leads to a healthier, more fit, leaner and functional body. Exercise that is overdone in any of the three ways above is a negative stress. And we now know that this type of stress can keep you fat or make you fat. And I want to explain exactly why so you can stop making this same mistake. Stress can keep you fat or make you fat for 3 reasons: 1. It makes you hungry 2. It makes you crave 3. It turns on your fat storing physiology When you exercise for too long, too hard or too often you go past the tipping point of exercise benefits and several biochemical changes occur that make it difficult for you to lose fat. Remember, to lose weight you need two things: 1) a calorie deficit and 2) hormonal balance. If you achieve a calorie deficit but your hormonal system is not balanced you will be far more likely to lose muscle but not fat. But that is unlikely to happen because hormonal imbalance is almost always associated with cravings for and consumption of highly palatable calorie dense foods. When stress hormones rise as a result of exercise that is too long, too hard or too frequent hunger hormones like ghrelin and leptin change in a way that make you hungry all the time. Perfect Pulse clients already understand the importance of hormones when it comes to fat loss. The final nail in the coffin comes from a hormone called neuropeptide Y or just NPY. Under normal short-term stress NPY is suppressed because cortisol is controlled. But under chronic stress your nervous system releases more NPY. My other name for NPY is the NEW PUFFY YOU hormone………because it causes immature fat cells to grow into full-grown puffy fat cells. This is why stress, any type of stress and even stress of too much exercise, can make you fat or at least keep you that way. So how do we fix this???????????????? Exercise less!!!!!! REALLY EUGENE!!!!! Exercise LESS to lose MORE fat????? YES.....it works every time!!! Less fat burning exercise and more fat burning foods is the ONLY thing that works. The results we get with our clients with a maximum of 4 workouts per week is proof of this fat burning tactic.....exercise JUST enough for MAXIMUM results!!!
