3 Things Your Exercise Program Needs

If you skip any of these, your results will suffer.

1. Resistance Exercise. This will raise your metabolism and cause you to burn more calories all day, even when you are asleep at night.


2. Cardiovascular Exercise. Your heart rate during cardio exercise should be 60% to 80% of your maximum heart rate. The simple formula for calculating your 100% maximum heart rate is 220 minus your age. If the intensity of your exercise increases your heart rate beyond 80%, slow it down a bit. If your heart rate isn't at least 60%, quit loafing. 


3. Proper Nutrition. A good, hard workout can burn maybe 300-500 calories in 30-45 minutes. It only takes one Big Mac to flush your entire workout down the toilet.
