What is also nice to know is that you only start burning fat after 30 minutes. We can set this complex apart, but let’s explain this simply to make it easier to understand. So Simple explained… First you have to get your BBQ going before you can bake, that’s exactly how it works in your body. First you warm the body for 30 minutes and only then you go to burning fats. In terms we speak of aerobic and anaerobic training. This theory we are not going to explain in detail here as this is quite complex matter.
If you don’t do any sport for years then you should start cycling or moving at a chatter pace with about ten minutes. As long as you can easily talk while exercising, you are normally perfectly in your green heart rate zone. Build up this time gradually to train for 1 hour. Normally you can do a 5 minutes of training every week. Do not Force this! If you don’t feel so good with 5 minutes extra then you can stay for another week or more on the same training time. Your own body is always the best barometer. Don’t be chased by others and make sure there’s no competition in the beginning. Training must remain pleasant both mentally and physically. To make it mentally easier we have 1 golden tip. While exercising, try to avoid staring at the console. Minutes can be painfully slow to tap the clock.

You are what you eat… Here the basics in a few lines.
When you start a training building, be sure to pay attention to what you eat. It’s actually quite simple. If you have a kantoorjob you do not eat as a construction worker. So don’t eat more than your daily calorie needs. Please do not go to extreme diets that will bother you all day. Just eat smaller portions than you normally take. At the end of the day there is already less Cal on the day counter. Count this out on 1 month and you will be amazed at the result. It is always usefull to count in calories what you eat.

Example: 1 Trappist is about 1 hour of training to get it back. 1 bar Mars is also about 45 minutes of training. If you keep this in the visor, the results are fast.
Finally, this
Always Drink enough water while exercising! What you lose to moisture is to drink while exercising. Here we learn that the scales are going to stand before and after the workout does not have much use for ordinary health training. For top athletes this is obviously very important because during training there is enough to be drunk and the coach can check this in this way.
Drinking while walking
It is important to moisturize the body well while walking on a treadmill. And this money actually for any type of training. In normal circumstances you should count on 1 drinkbus per hour on the treadmill. This seems a lot but is definitely needed. You should not underestimate the treadmill within walking. In principle the weight before and after the workout may not differ as much as most think. If you are 1 Kg lighter after the workout, that Misshien is fun to see but then you should definitely drink half a litre of water to moisturize your body. For heavier trainings we recommend adding thirst quencher with sugars to keep the sugar stock on the arrow and to get a solid fat burning. Without sugars, you will not burn fat and only directly extract proteins from the body. Sugar is the wick to the fat to express it simply. After about 30 minutes the Glicogeenvoorraad is gone and you have to take sugars to stay on the strength. People who are easily cramped can possibly add electroliten such as eg. Salt, calium, magnesium which are just about the best known. A salt-sweater generally needs more salt in his daily food in order not to get problems during longer and intensive training.
Eating while walking
This is especially applicable for long duration trainings. Best to take all the training in sugar-rich food to fill the gasoline tank well. In General, it is ideal to eat the 30 minutes of solid food during training. From 2 hours of training you better switch to gels that are absorbed faster by the body. So regular drinking and eating during long workouts is ideal and keeps you on strength.
