Right now for me it's a matter of doing the hard workout or doing two easier ones to makeup for not doing the hard one. I know the two easy ones do not burn the same calories as the hard one, I know it and yet I still try and convince myself that two is always better than one.
Also I am jealous of all you people with gyms to go to. I'd kill to have access to machines. |
I hear you about the "short walk = lots of food"! I worked on a farm for a few summers, and there was a corner store about a 2 block walk from the dorm I was staying at on the farm. I didn't have a car, so I justified going to grab a snack if I walked there. Which might have worked if I just grabbed something small, but while I was at the store I'd load up; bag of chips, chocolate bar and icecream for the walk home. I don't think the 15 minute walk there and back added up to ~1000 cals of junk!
1 hard workout vs 2 easy? IMO (and it is just that) maybe alternate days. A good all out ass whooping is always good, but two less-hard workouts in a day can be good too, give your muscles a chance to regenerate and keep the metabolism up all day.
Do you do your workouts at home?
