Everywhere you go it seems there's a fitness guru telling you how to exercise.
Depending on the person, they all have different goals for you that they think you have to do in order for you to “live your best life”.
The reality is there are a million ways to exercise to become fit and healthier. Just like there’s not one universal diet that everyone should follow, there’s absolutely not one way to exercise.
And the reality is that sometimes we take the message out of context.
Let me give you a common example that you might hear,
“HIIT (high intensity interval training) is the best way to burn fat!”
Well, in a scientific lab, with all variables the same, does HIIT training burn more fat than steady state cardio?
Yes.
But what all these claims don’t take into account is the individual preferences of each person.
And the bottomline is that to become fit, you have to consistently exercise. And to be consistent, you have to enjoy doing it.
So is HIIT training really the best way to burn fat?
Not if you don’t enjoy doing it.
In a world where everyone has an opinion of whats best for you,
Your job is to take the time to explore ways of exercising that you actually like, and not blindly exercise in ways that someone told you “is best”.
