This is an example of “effective “ strength training.
More weight, less sets plus rest.It’s during the rest periods that muscles recover, repair and you begin to get stronger 😊💪🏻

A Boxercise class burns a significant amount of calories, typically ranging from 300-400 in 30 minutes to 400-800 in an hour, depending heavily on your effort, body weight, and intensity, with studies showing averages around 450-600 calories for a solid workout session. It's a high-intensity full-body workout that engages many muscles, making it very effective for fat burning and fitness.

Calorie Burn Breakdown (General Estimates)
30 Minutes: Can burn around 300-350+ calories.
40-45 Minutes: Expect roughly 400-600 calories burned.
60 Minutes (High Intensity): Can torch 500 to 800+ calories.

It’s two years on from starting my SPR/strength training journey. I was a bit thinner in photo on left (less muscle) but I am happy with the way I am today.
A bit of consistency with diet and exercise = a strong, healthy body no matter what number comes after your name 😊💪🏻

CREPITUS🤗

What a brilliant word but what does it mean?
This is the term used for the clicking and cracking noises we hear whilst exercising.

If not accompanied by pain or swelling these noises are often harmless and can be caused by the following:

Gas bubbles: A common cause is the release of gas bubbles that form in the joint space when it is stretched.
Cartilage or bone friction: A grating or crunching sound can result from the friction between bones and cartilage.

It can also be caused by an underlying medical condition such as arthritis so if at all worried see a medical professional 👍🏻

Cardio vascular fitness (heart and lung ) can be achieved by exercising on a regular basis. This entails raising your heart rate, breathing a bit heavier so producing a lovely warm glow 🥵It doesn’t always mean “jumping up and down” again and again, although this is one way😊
I did a 30min weight training session today and as you can see my heart rate definitely increased.
By using weights to increase the workload your muscles need more oxygen therefore your heart must pump faster to deliver this oxygen-rich blood 👍🏻💪🏻
