Question 1

I want to burn fat but when i exercise in an aerobic zone i feel like it might be too easy. am i really getting a workout?

The trick to losing fat is to keep on going. It does not have to be high intensity; it just has to be sustained.

Question 2

I have a 57 rhr. i workout 3-4 times per week and struggle to get my heart rate into an aerobic zone.  i try to burn 600 calories per workout but per heart rate monitor  it takes 1:30 hours.  with bradycardia is heart rate indicative of calorie burn?

Accepted Answer

Please do not obsess about heart rate and calories burnt. If you maintain a healthy weight and exercise 150 minutes/week you are doing great. Over exercising may not be a good idea. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

great!  Wonderful that you are going three times a week.  Your PT or the professionals at the gym can tell you more about how people respond to what amount of days but please keep going and know that three days a weeks can be very helpful.  Peace and good health.

Question 4

I have a few productive hours each day, but i crash quickly and burn out. how can i keep my energy up throughout the day?

Accepted Answer

Low energy levels can be due to diets high in sugars so aim for low glycemic foods, drink water not caffeine, exercise, get good sleep, but also have your doctor check for low iron (ferritin stores), B12 and vitamin d levels.  Its having a consistently healthy lifestyle that keeps energy levels high.

Question 5

How do i burn more energy than i consume without gym equipment?

Accepted Answer

Aaron eckhart, whose movie opens today, has built his body almost entirely by calisthenics, aerobic conditioning, and gymnastics. He puts in several hours a day but has come to enjoy it. Different people are comfortable in different exercise settings. You may discover that you want an aerobic-fit body instead; you can train for a road race staying well-covered until you have something to show.

Question 6

Is it possible for people with narcolepsy to be in ketosis (the process of eating almost no carb and burning fat for energy)?

Accepted Answer

Voluntarily diet choices can be pursued by any individual. I would be careful with medication effects on any new diet.  One needs to seek urgent medical attention if ketosis occur as medical condition.  Narcolepsy itself does not cause ketosis.

Question 7

Do the human body burn more energy while we sleep?

We continue to burn energy while we sleep, but it is usually less than during daytime activities.  For instance  an 185-pound individual might burn 56 calories while sleeping for an hour.

Question 9

What is the best supplement to burn more fat and have more energy when i exercise?

Accepted Answer

No supplements exist to burn fat or speed it up. Best is a nutritious decrease in calories combined with aerobic exercize.

Question 10

If we do weight training, does the body body burn the extra fats and use it as energy for the muscles?

Accepted Answer

Not while you are working out.  Adding lean muscle will increase you metabolism.  In fact, for every pound of lean muscle you gain, you burn 69 extra kcal per day.  Unless you are working out extremely hard (using all your stored sugar) or in the morning before eating, you won't really utilize fat for energy (you'll use protein first).
