PS – Oh yes, the answers!
1-c => If the elliptical machine tells you that you burned 100 calories, the truth is more like 60 calories.
2-b => According to Men’s Health, you’d have to do a backbreaking 22,000 crunches just to burn 3,500 calories (enough to lose 1 pound).
3-c => Diet is the most important factor in weight loss…but the good news is that I’ve made diet so simple it just takes 2 minutes in the morning to kickstart your metabolism for fast loss. Get the instructions here.
4-d => Interval training, NO-equipment bodyweight exercises done in a 4-minute circuit (like on this free DVD), and heavy resistance training are all more effective for fat loss, fitness, strength, and getting a Beach-Ready Body.
5-d => Nothing beats this free DVD of short workout videos for helping you get fast results in the comfort of your own home. Enjoy!
