Does your exercise session earn INTEREST ???
Huh?
———-
———-
When you put $1000, into a bank account that earns INTEREST….
It is now worth MORE than the original amount.
Your $1000 has now turned into $1080 (example only)

The same is true of certain exercise sessions.
Some exercise sessions stop working when you stop.
Example. You do a 45 minute cardio session where you can hold a conversation the whole time (comfort zone).
You might burn 400 calories in that time and maintain (not improve) your current fitness level. Not bad.
Or
You can do a 45 minute session that uses and overloads ALL muscle groups, plus at certain times gets you huffing and puffing OUT of your comfort zone (you can only say a sentence, before you need to catch your breath).
You might burn the same 400 calories in that 45 minutes…
You might burn the same 400 calories in that 45 minutes…
However, you earn INTEREST on this exercise session.
- You also build and improve all of your muscles (which looks great and increases your metabolism) – YAY
- You also INCREASE your fitness level because you went outside of your comfort zone – DOUBLE YAY
- You also continue to burn some calories AFTER the session due to EPOC. Excess Post Oxygen Consumption
(which is a fancy way of saying, your body burns more calories to recover from your session ) TRIPLE YAY.
