Have you ever wondered what the biggest calorie-burning workouts are?

This is a great episode you don’t want to miss.

Before I dive in, I have to share this 5 Star Review:

Hi Kim, I just discovered you last night on YouTube and have been listening to your podcast all afternoon. I ordered your book and I’m so excited! Listening to you and the scriptures you quoted has renewed my hope that I can lose weight and feel better. I had almost given up. Each of your podcasts is just so on point that I KNOW God led me to you. I can't express my gratitude and I know I can do all things through Christ. Somehow I forgot that along the way. – Jessica!

WOW, just wow! All glory to God! Seriously, Thank you Lord for showing Jessica she can do all things through you! My eyes feel with tears when I read your reviews because I see how much God is needed in fitness and He is the one who makes all the difference. He is our lasting answer.

God wants us educated and equipped, and honoring Him in our bodies!

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 says,

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.

Even though I have multiple fitness and nutrition certifications, I’m forever a student of life, so I dove into the research.

Here's what I found:

Biggest Calorie Burners and How to Design the Best Workout Plan

Aerobic activity better known as cardio tops the list. An hour of running can burn 600 calories, Indoor cycling 900, Jumping rope 800, rowing 800! But, hold on this doesn’t mean we should be doing it six days a week. Our body is smart and will acclimate. Read on for the best protocol.
Compound Exercises torch calories. They incorporate multiple muscle groups: think, lunges, deadlifts, and squats. When you combine them with another movement like a bicep curl or shoulder press, they burn even more and increase muscle mass.
HIIT is anaerobic training. HIIT stands for High-Intensity Interval Training. These workouts are shorter in duration with quick intense bursts of exercise followed by short recovery periods. This workout is great for burning fat because the intense intervals help jump-start the process known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption or EPOC: Some people call it the after-burn or a workout high. This means the additional calories you burn after exercise while your body is recovering back to its normal resting state.

Here is the main takeaway:

After a ton of research, I found that combining these three is your best answer because doing just one type of training can cause weight loss and fat loss plateaus, boredom, muscle imbalance, and injuries, so a mix is the best for overall weight loss, fat loss, joint health, lean muscle preservation and building, and flexibility

Designing a workout that includes all three works best.

Tips on creating your workout plan:

Find an aerobic activity or cardio that you enjoy doing, 2-3 days a week
2-3 days of body weight or weight training in an interval fashion where you have bouts of intensity followed by short breaks
And add in a day of active recovery with some low-intensity steady-state movement like walking, skating, swimming with your friends or kids.

The most important thing we can for our health is to find strength and lasting motivation in Christ to fulfill His plan and purposes for us.

Dear God,

I pray in this moment that you equip each of us with wisdom and help us find our path to workout. Moving our bodies daily is vital to our health. Help us see the ease of it and not the confusion. Help us stop trying something for a week and quitting because we don’t see immediate results. Help us honor you in our bodies as a means of worship versus a frustrating vanity project.

That is the world’s way. Your way is faithful, disciplined, and excellent. We want to be excellent for you and walk through the doors you want to open for us. Show us the bigger plan...Bring us up to a whole new level today, for you!

In Jesus’ name, amen.

Faith Fuel:

Discipline is a daily choice, and in Christ, you can take care of yourself.

Nothing happens without action, and I’m here to be your accountability partner.
