Intense cardio and strength training also skyrocket my appetite like crazy. Walking pretty much doesn't affect my appetite at all. It's almost like free calories burned honestly. If you can walk somewhere instead of driving, just opt for walking more frequently.

Walking is definitely golden exercise - no need special equipment/paying fees and you can socialize at the same time. Plus it helps 'things' to move along 💩

@reneeshenk1914 2 жыл бұрын

I consider myself to be a fair weather runner (literally). In the spring and fall I like to go for a 30-35 minute run 2-3 days a week, then do strength training the other 2-3 days and include some walking before or after work. (I used to walk to work but I've been working from home since March 2020). In the summer and winter I pretty much stay inside and focus more on strength and mobility. My active rest day is whichever weekend day we clean the house, lol! Even though I rarely eat in a deficit I have seen more muscle definition, which makes the fat less noticeable.

Love it. It truly is the best advice on fat loss. My question is how long do you recommend being in a deficit before switching to maintaining then going back to deficit so your metabolism doesn’t stay low?

@apirtayooo 2 жыл бұрын

As soon as I learned strength training or building muscle is what increases the metabolism which ables you to eat more, and that it helps with daily life function, I was hooked. Now…I’m struggling to eat more 🤣 like there are days when I track my food just to see how much I eat and I just go “??? Wdym I have 400cals more to maintain??? I’m FULL and SATISFIED 😭” Anyway, love the video!! I recommend your channel everytime my friends ask me what should they do for weight/fat loss.

Really great video, thank you for the advices. I think I am going to follow that split (I’ve been looking to reorganize my current workout split and this one seems ideal). My problem right now is I am trying to lose weight so I will put myself in a slight calorie deficit for two weeks, sometimes three, then I fall off the wagon for different reasons and eat as usual without tracking (usually up to two or three weeks), and when I try to back to a deficit, I noticed I gained weight. And no matter what I do on my usual deficit, I don’t lose it, even by trying a bigger deficit. It’s 6 months now and I gained 3 kilos is so annoying. I don’t understand what’s the problem.

@spanditanandi8560 3 ай бұрын

It might be a case of hormonal imbalance which makes you put on weight no matter what. This is the only bit where I don't completely agree with Justina even though I absolutely ❤her and she is bril but caloric deficit doesn't guarantee fat loss for all women. I put on the most fat when I was going through a difficult phase in life and barely eating. You can consider looking into blood tests to check hormonal levels and anything else you need to heal in order to fix your metabolism. Hope that helps!

My routine is I work out to Sydney Cummings 5 days a week and on those 5 days I also walk for about 20-30 min a day. I also started intermittent fasting and I eat from 10-6. On Saturday and Sunday I just sort of rest but I do get light movement depending on what I am doing. My big issue is my love of sugar! I allow myself one day a week for a bowl of ice cream but I do have a sweet here and there as well. Such a flippin sweet tooth lol

@Lindsey Murphy 150 min of cardio per week is what most people should aim for, but you can get a lot of that in through your day to day walks. That being said, if you don't find that you're getting walks in or a lot of movement outside of your workouts then the treadmill is a great option.

Put your damn phone down - ha ha, so true! My biggest problem with sleep is staying asleep, mostly when I’m stressed about something. I relate fat loss to food. Exercise for me is mental health, physical health, strength, balance, flexibility and toning. Mental health is the biggest one, it reduces my stress and anxiety. I’m good about strength training but lacking on cardio and walking. I need to incorporate more. I do total body strength on MWF, and try to do cardio or yoga/stretching the other days.

now that I'm really watching my calories and also wanting to build muscle, I'm finding its just hard to eat all that protein (didnt know I was so low on it), its too satiating and hard to get past 60grams with out me just eating just to get those in. On those days I end up eating less that 1500 cal cause i'm so full. I end up eating a high cal snack like nuts just to do that. yet, I love breads and grains and thats high cal but not enough protein. Fats and fiber is easy for me though.

It can be tough to figure out at first! I made an entire video about easy ways to sneak more protein into meals, so that may be helpful :)

I am on upper body and lower body strength splits 4 days a week and one day of steady state cardio. I realised when I was doing HIIT or no repeat strength workouts, I do not lose as much weight as I do when i do strength workouts with weights that challenge me. My current diet is intermittent fasting, skipping breakfast and then eating lunch and dinner. I noticed if I eat oatmeal for dinner (on days i could not be bothered to make anything elaborate), i lose weight quicker. Any idea why would that be? I eat a nice medium sized bowl with 2 bananas and some milk

@JustinaErcole 2 жыл бұрын

Oatmeal is pretty low in calories, so you're probably eating a lower calorie dinner than before :)

I’ve been doing barre and Pilates and legit ever since I started doing that I started to see results. Also haven’t changed my diet much. I’m not necessarily on a calorie deficient. But there are days when I eat less (on accident). I have a balanced diet. Also I’m seeing that nice muscle since I started to do barre and Pilates. And I’ve been doing strength and condition and cardio for moooooonths, actually a year to be exacts. Just two months ago was when I switched my exercise routine and my body received it so well. Can you explain this?

@JustinaErcole 2 жыл бұрын

Remember that the type of exercise you're doing will cause your body to look a certain way. And making a drastic change in the way you work out will typically yield quick results at first. But aside from that, I can't really explain much more because I don't know what your strength workouts, conditioning workouts, and cardio workouts looked like. Sorry I'm not more help!

Depends on the studio style, but it's typically strength training using time under tension. And it *can* be good for weight loss, but it's more efficient to adjust your nutrition.

I dislike it when people think the phone is the only reason people aren't getting enough sleep. This video doesn't say that's the only reason so I'm not criticizing her but, it brought to mind the trend in general. Single parent of small children, cancer, brain surgeries, etc. Other people may not sleep due to health conditions, poor environments, financial worries, stress, and so on. Sleep isn't always an easy fix. I wish more people would give the recommendations and then comment that it isn't always possible to do them all, and to do only what you can. It isn't always a choice (ie playing on phone) causing the problem. End of silly rant.

Hi there! I just posted a video today about sleep and specifically say that getting enough sleep and quality sleep is 100% a privilege that not everyone has.
