Does doing Fasted Cardio work?

Fasted Cardio is doing your cardio sesh first thing in the morning.

When doing any type of workout, your body will either choose to burn more carbohydrates or fat to give you energy for the workout. Generally, when doing HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training)  the body will burn glycogen (stored carbs) for energy.

Doing Low-Intensity Cardio such as power walking the body will burn glycogen first and then switch to fat.

Therefore doing a power walk in the morning will work as your body will not have as many carbs stored, therefore you will burn more fat.

On the same note, it is not advised that you do a HIIT workout in the morning. The reason has been that you will not have enough energy to do the workout for a good amount of time. Therefore it will not be as effective. 

That is why I generally prefer to have my power walks in the mornings and a HIIT sesh in the afternoons.

Power walking however is not the best to help you lose weight quickly. But it is best to help you burn fat and muscle in your legs. 

One of the best ways to lose weight quickly is usually running, HIIT and most importantly eating at a calorie deficit.

Resistance Workouts that will not make your legs bigger

Hello lovelies, In today's blog post we will learn about the right kind of resistance training or simply how low-impact workouts won't bulk you up. All of us have two types of muscle fibers: Slow-twitch (type I) Fast-twitch (type II) (stay with me) Slow-twitch muscles help enable long-endurance activities such as running, swimming, and power walking, while fast-twitch muscles fatigue faster but are used in powerful bursts of movements like sprinting, and heavy lifting. Moves that trigger those fast twitch fibers will help create a muscular (sometime bulky) physique, while moves that trigger the slow twitch fibers help you get that leaner, toned look. Lets compare these two pictures First Then look at this one, These two lovelies are both beautiful and strong. How they look is a result of the type of training done. In my opinion in picture 1, she appears to be engaging her fast twitch muscles a lot more than in picture two. It appears there is a lot of lift...
