There are so many different opinions to how you should workout! Some say start this way, some say start that way. I am going to talk about how I workout and why I do it this way.

Our bodies store and "burn" calories as fuel. Many "dieters" count calories and try do decrease caloric intake to lose weight. Now before I go any further into this you should have noticed I put " around the word dieters. I don't like that word. If you are on a diet, that diet ends at some point. If you change your lifestyle that is more permanent. If you are trying to lose weight, maintain weight or maybe just get fit, you shouldn't "diet" you should change your lifestyle! What is a calorie?
