Are hills great for burning fat ?

Walking hills will burn fat at a faster pace
than walking on a level surface because it
takes more energy to walk up hills then
on a level surface.

But this is only true to a point. If your body
is used to walking hills and you still eat bad
your results will be the same as if you were
walking on a level surface.

For hills to be effective you must use the hills
as a change up- meaning walk or run level surface
then walk or run a hill.

Your body will adapt to almost any type of stress
that you give it, so you need to trick the body on
a regular basis to keep making gains for fitness
and weight loss.

I've seen people that walk all the time up and down
hills and are very fat, and the number 1 reason is that
they are used to this type of exercise, not to mention
that they probably don't eat very well.

So when it comes to hill training don't over do it, use
them smart, and train by mixing it up.

Bodyweight training and stress.


A couple of weeks ago I moved out of South Jersey to the
center of PA to improve the quality of life for my family
to a more slower paced lifestyle.

But, a move like this can be very stressful and this is
where it's important to maintain your lifestyle of good
nutrition and exercise.

When your lifestyle changes the body needs to fight the
stress to stay healthy and you need to make sure that
your body doesn't break down.

Stress starts out mentally and will affect you physically if
not taken care of, this is why great nutrition and exercise
is so important.

Bodyweight training comes in handy when you have so
much going on and not a lot of time, remember any
exercise is better than none at all.

A quick pushup/ squat workout can do the trick and you
can do it anywhere. You can go for time or for reps it
doesn't really matter.

Try this for a quick pick me up and it will only
take 5 to 8 minutes:

Do as many pushups as possible than get up and
do squats but however many pushups you did
double up on the squats.

If you do 50 pushups you do 100 squats then next
set if you can only do 35 pushups you do 70 squats.

Repeat this until you feel you have had enough and
there's no rest you do pushups then squats then
pushups then squats until your done.
