Exercise Does Not Burn Fat

In the rest period during sleep, exercise merely triggers hormones which do the burning 14-48 hours later. That's right - when you are sleeping. If you don't believe me, try weighing yourself before and after a 2 hour workout. It will be a big fat ZERO.

So solve the problem of exercise, it is necessary to break it down into basic building-block parts.

The parts of exercise are composed of type, intensity, duration, frequency and recovery. Very few people have ever figured out what exercise combination they need. The Health Balance & Fitness Device measures how your body responds to exercise and its component parts.

One interesting observation I have found with overweight people is this one common weakness - poor recovery. Recovery is the after effect or the ability for the body to re-charge and rejuvenate. And, by the way, 99% of fat burning occurs in the recovery period, which is AFTER exercise, not during it.

How does the Health Balance & Fitness Device work?

Information is captured off your ear through a very sensitive optical sensing device and then analyzes it through proprietary software. This gives vital information on what your body is doing in a rest and exercise state.

The first Health Balance test isolates the stress and health states of your body– see right.

Then based on the 9 patterns, you will either start a low intensity aerobic exercise program or go to the next second test called Interval Training Pattern test as seen below.

Acquire your perfect exercise to rest pattern - tailor-made for you.

An optimum score would be what you see below. Activation is your ability to react to stress and recovery is your ability to recover from stress.

Many people are either in an overdrive (stress mode 24/7) or burned out (fatigued) state. The wrong type of exercise can be very bad for their body and their weight loss as exercise is now acting as a stressor than something that should be benefiting the person.

The graph pattern will indicate what type of exercise is best for you!

Below is a list of a few patterns and what they mean.

Additional information on what you are measuring.

Activation Energy means how much accelerator or gas peddle (get up and go) you have. This is your body stress reaction, which prepares the body for stress responses.

Recovery Energy means how much brakes (relaxation) you have. This is your ability to calm down after stress and exercise.

If your body is like a car and you are racing around even when you are at rest, you will burn out your engine (your body). The graphs below tell you whats happening inside your body at rest.

Before we get into the graphs, you need to know what normal is.

A normal graph should have a balanced activation energy, not too much gas, just the right amount
ACTIVATION ENERGY = NORMAL

However, at rest, the ideal and best recovery energy would be in the high level. The more you can recovery, the healthier and more fit the system is.
RECOVERY ENERGY = HIGH

Interval Training

If you haven’t heard, interval training (short bursts of exercise and rest) is much more beneficial for losing weight and building health than continuous sustained exercise (as you see people at the gym on the treadmill). Alternating short bursts of exercise and rest has been shown to trigger growth hormone at a much higher level than any other type of exercise. Growth hormone is called the anti-aging hormone. It is also the main fat burning hormone.

"Growth Hormone was found to spike 450 times higher with interval
training than continuous sustained exercise."

Interval training is quick and intense and invigorating and produces more hormone stimulation. However, for some people, interval training can be wrong for their body type. Low intensity exercise is better for the person who is over-stressed or burnt out. If your stress mode is too high, you will have to gradually build up to a higher lever interval training. The Health Balance & Fitness Device will determine when you are ready for this next step. This way, you can always do the perfect exercise at the right time.

Exercise Pattern

You will be instructed to either do one of two types of exercise:

Low-intense exercise like walking, yoga, stretching, pilotes, or light swimming

Higher intense interval training. Our program will give you the interval pattern which could be 30, 60 or 90 seconds of intense exercise and certain periods of rest, which could range from 2 minutes to 20+ minutes. It’s your job to pick the type of exercise you enjoy: sprinting, treadmill, jump rope, rowing, Kettle Bell, pushups, swimming or anything. You will plug in your exercise into a unique interval exercise-recovery pattern.

Yoga

I particulary like Yoga because it accomplishes a number of goals. First it can be used as a low stress aerobic type exercise. So if you are in this catagory yoga will work well for you. Yoga will not create more cortisol; or be stressful on your body. However, Yoga also is a great high intensity interval training type exercise as well. Second, Yoga is great at strengthening the core muscles which will protect your back and help with back pain and/or help prevent episodes in the future.
