They aver, “One needs to visit the gym at least five-six days every week. Trying different forms of interval training is also more effective in terms of burning calories.”

EAT SMART, EAT CLEAN

Go easy on the sweets. It is advisable to consume heavy food during the day and keep dinner light. Keep your calories in check. The average body burns about 2,000 calories everyday in addition to the calories you burn when working. Ensure that your calorie intake does not exceed the calories you burn.
