My body started getting used to Body Pump recently and I need to watch my Diet more and/or change workout.
So I did Insanity again with my friends in Ramona and felt like I was going to throw up. I believe this is the feeling I need to have everytime I workout to get out of my fitness comfort zone.
I am going to add Insanity workout into my schedule from now on.
To be Honest with you, I am not sure if I can do it every single day due to my teaching schedule but I will add it as many as possible.
Here's a quick explanation of the fat-burning zone from Beachbody site. I hope this will help you.
At an aerobic pace (see above), your body utilizes stored body fat as fuel to save its preferred fuel (stored blood glycogen) for more pressing matters. It sounds great because you're burning body fat. And while this is true, you're burning it at a very slow rate.
During higher-intensity work, your body turns to a limited supply of blood glycogen (often called blood sugar) for energy. While your body's burning glycogen during this more intense period, and not fat, it's breaking down more body tissue. Breakdown is a bad word for a good thing, because your body produces more hormones and increases its metabolism to repair this breakdown. As the tissue repairs itself, it builds more muscle so that next time you do a stressful workout it won't be so taxing. This process of adapting to intense exercise is where your body makes rapid change.
Continually building on this process is called progressive overload. By continually adapting to stress and then adding more (either with weight or speed or programs like Insanity), you increase your body's fitness so that it's actually burning body fat for fuel as you rest. Interval workouts should be a key component in every phase of your training.
