In this episode, I am continuing the dreaded "Quarantine 15" conversation by discussing the easiest way to burn extra calories throughout your day. Spolier alert... it's not what you think. For those of us working from home during this lockdown, it can be incredibly tempting to spend the majority of our day on the couch. While exercise is extremely important for general health and helping us improve the composition of our bodies (via fat loss and muscle gain), exercise does not make up the majority of our calorie burn throughout the day! I explain all of the factors that play into the energy balance equation (aka calories in vs. calories out) like metabolic rate, calories burned from digesting food, calories burned while we're not moving & more! I also share how I've been increasing my calorie burn throughout the day with NO added cardio or workouts. If you're starting to stress about Quarantine Weight Gain, this episode is a must listen!LET'S CONNECT:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/abbeyyung/YouTube
