If you do something as simple as 15-minute ice baths three days a week, and you time those baths properly, you can significantly multiply your fat loss.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
It takes about four days of virtuous living to create a little weight loss. That also happens to be the time required to get used to eating less. In other words, if you can get past day three of a fitness regimen, things improve.
If I don't go to the gym for a week, I just get thinner and thinner.
If you're down to 6% body fat, which I've done before, you burn out really quickly. Like, in a couple hours, you're pretty much done, and then you're useless.
As for swimming, I'm now in the pool 5 days a week from 8 to 10 a.m. And I'm in the gym for an hour and a half, 4 days a week. Two days upper body, two days lower.
I work out six days a week. Usually 45 minutes of running, then swimming and weightlifting.
I was in the gym five days a week, two hours a day. At one point, I was going seven days straight. I had put on a lot of weight, and then I started losing it drastically, so I was worried. It turned out I was overworking myself. My trainer told me that I couldn't break a sweat, because I was burning more calories than I was putting on.
Three mornings a week, I exercise before eating - it's called 'fasted cardio' - to burn fat.
The gym is where I get my chill-out time. I try to go six days a week, but when I'm working, that goes down to about three.
I know I have to run 20 more minutes if I eat ice cream. Basically, I eat everything, but I just do more training.
Eating ice cream and not exercising is great. The downside is your health isn't so good.
