Optimizing Caloric Expenditure: Strategies for Maximum Burn

Optimizing Caloric Expenditure: Strategies for Maximum Burn

Looking to enhance the effectiveness of your workouts? Explore Seven’s set of tips on maximizing calorie burn before, during, and after your exercise routine.

Strength Training While cardio burns calories during the session, don’t underestimate the calorie-burning potential of strength training. It not only provides an immediate calorie burn but also elevates your metabolism long after the workout ends. During strength training, the body experiences an oxygen deficit, prompting it to consume excess oxygen post-exercise. This leads to an additional 6-15% more calories burned throughout the day and night. Beyond calorie burning, improving your metabolism positively impacts health, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing cardiovascular health.

HIIT Research indicates that 27-minute sessions of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) three times a week yield comparable anaerobic and aerobic benefits to 60 minutes of cardio training, five times a week. Achieve the same results in less time! Many of Seven’s workouts are HIIT sessions, so pick your favorite and kickstart your training today.

Perfect Your Form Maintaining proper form, keeping muscles engaged throughout each exercise, and having a strong core contribute to efficient calorie burning during your sessions. Whether you prefer running or other activities, mastering the right techniques can improve your speed, enabling you to cover longer distances in shorter durations and burn up to 15% more calories.

Pump Up the Volume

Research suggests that curating an engaging playlist and listening to it during your workout can extend your exercise duration by up to 20%, leading to increased calorie burn. Music has demonstrated its ability to assist athletes in disregarding signs of fatigue, entering a focused state, and maintaining a brisk pace by synchronizing their movements to the beat.

Enlist a Workout Partner Research indicates that having a workout buddy enhances commitment, encourages harder training, and accelerates goal achievement.

Incorporate Resistance Integrating heavier weights and decreasing repetitions proves to be an effective method for increasing calorie expenditure during strength workouts. Heavier weights induce protein breakdown in the muscles, compelling your body to expend more energy for recovery.
