How did you do with your protein yesterday? Did you get in within in 30 minutes of completing your workout?
Are you one of those cardio all out people? Do you run for as fast and as long as you can? Sweat pouring, blood pumping, exhausted when your done? If you aren't training for a race there is an easier way. You see to burn fat you need to be in your target heart rate zone (which is usually achieved at a mild pace and incline.) When you get out of this zone you are burning sugar/ the meal you last consumed. For most of us we want to burn of our fat you last meal hasn't been stored in your body yet so stick to the mild, fat burning workout instead of the all out marathon.
To find you target heart rate:
220 - your age then multiply by .7 for your low number
220-your age then multiply by .8 for your high number
This is the range at which your body is burning fat. Try using a treadmill or elliptical with a built in heart rate monitor or if you have one like a watch or band wear it during your workout and see how long you are in the fat burning zone.
Workout smarter not harder!
You can do this!
