We are in the middle of the Christmas season, but perhaps it is already time to start planning a new year full of good intentions. If these include taking care of yourself, getting in shape or losing those extra kilos gained from the plentiful meals so typical of these festivities, get to work on burning those excess calories.
The first thing we recommend is setting yourself a reasonable timeframe to achieve this. It is important to set achievable short- and medium-term goals so that you can see results, build confidence and stay motivated.
From this point on, it is very important to understand the general principle that each day should end with more calories burned than consumed. How do we achieve this? It is essential to combine a varied, balanced diet with regular exercise. The ultimate aim is to speed up your metabolism or, in other words, to increase the revs of your internal engine.
We can suggest several group classes that are ideal for burning calories and getting in shape in a consistent, controlled and safe way (Combat, Pump, Zumba...). If you prefer burning calories on the gym floor, various machines are available to help you achieve this. With the right programme, you will reach your goal sooner than you might imagine.
Did you know...?
The theory that cardiovascular exercise is the only way to burn fat has evolved. We say "evolved" because, although it has not been ruled out, studies confirm that strength training is the most effective approach to fat loss. Moreover, increasing muscle tone makes our bodies burn more fat to maintain it, so that we continue burning calories even at rest.
