It’s hard to say as everyone is different. Your best bet would be to use a heart rate monitor that tracks how many calories you burn

Try holding on to dumbbells and do pushups so that you can stack your wrist without any extension.

I am thinking around 300, but would like your input so I can track it better. Thank you

I have a wrist injury from a few years back that make it nearly impossible to do push-ups. Is there something I can do or change to still work my arms? One of the issues thats always kept me from doing burst training is that it is heavy on the push-ups and I am not able to do those. Thanks!

I would cut out grains and sugars from the diet. I would also incorporate burst training 3-5 times each week

Can you suggest something, diet or even topical solutions for skin treatment. I think I either am battling rosacea or possibly psoriasis on my face, around my nose/nostril area. Red, almost crusty at times, burning itching and some like acne break outs just there.

Thank you

Lifting weights may be a good option. I would start slow with incorporating activity and listen to your body. I would also cut out sugars, grains and gluten. Check these natural arthritis cures out:

I have osteoarthritis of both hips and a tear on left hip and a L knee injury. Can you recommend some weight loss and strenthening exercises for my hips without adding harm to my hips or knees. I started running 2 yrs ago and now have been told not to run.

Thank you for your suggestions.

Anna

Eating an hour before burst training is perfectly fine and can help fuel your workout! I would focus on consuming real food and cutting out sugars and grains. I would then try to eat protein within an hour of exercising.

You can do 1 leg jumps, high jumps, high knees, jumping jacks, etc.
You can search youtube for rebounder exercises and should find many different options. I will try to put a video together on it as well.

I am 51 years old and need to shed 16kg. I am insulin resistant and the weight comes off very slowly. My blood sugar can drop very low at times and I am not able to exercise on an empty stomach, but I do well by having a diet shake half an hour before a workout. Could you please tell me whether this practice will jeopardise the effect of burst training – will I just be using the fuel supplied by the shake in stead of using stored fat for energy?

How long before and after a burst session, can one have a meal?
Thank you

I just came across burst training.
I am 32 and would like to lose about 5kg.
I wasn’ t very active for last year.
Will I lose weight by doing just burst training for 20-30 min 4 times a week or do I need to to other exercise as well? I also cut my calories intake to 1200 a day.
Many thanks for your help.

There are 3 different levels on the DVD so you should be able to pick 1 level and follow that move and adjust to where you are at in your fitness journey. Also check this out: https://draxe.com/health/ibs-diet-food-cures/

At only 5’2″ and muscular already, She is worried about over developing her thigh muscles bc she wants a longer line for ballet and many of your burst exercises are intense on the thigh muscles. Won’t she bulk up with these types of exercises?

I would focus on eating meat and vegetables with healthy fats and cut out fruit and grains. I would also try incorporating burst training 3-5 times each week

She has eaten clean for about a year and still no real change in the weight. She is frustrated and as her mom I want to encourage good habits through exercise to help her achieve her goals. thanks

Thank you very much, Dr Axe.
I have done only 1 ten minute burst training & only had 2 hot flushes (during the night) in 2 days! Super excited.

Try incorporating this shake into your diet to keep your calorie intake up: https://draxe.com/recipes/superhuman-shake/
Bursting 3 times each week for 20 minutes could be a great addition!

I already walk 3 times a week & pilates 3 times a week. How can I ensure I will not lose weight? I am 1.74m, weighing 60kg. Thank you

I got your burstfit and love it! its a great and hard workout. I read that you recommend to do it 3 to 4 times a week. what should I do on the other days? I enjoy yoga and zumba but was wondering if I should do more traditional cardo on the treadmill on those days? a walk/run routine? I usually work out 5 or 6 days a week since I am trying to lose weight. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge!!

Deb

Burst training would be great to incorporate on the days you do not run. You shouldn’t need to rest the day after but do make sure you take 1 day each week and rest from activity, especially if you have been workout out hard during the week. I am not a huge fan of running distance because it is hard on your body but if it is something you love and won’t give up, I would either cut back on your distance running and do burst training or try to incorporate it on your off days along with weight training.

I am a 53 years old male from Barcelona ,Spain.
About a 2 years ago i started walking one hour per day,after 12 months i started running 1 kilometer and then i would walk till i completed one hour,i have worked up to running 20 kilometers 3 times per week at a pace of 2,45 hrs going up a mountain close to my house,i also do yoga and calisthenics the days i do not run.

I was 95 kilos when i started exercise and now i wait 85 but i have gained a lot of muscle.

Here is my routine

Day 1

Warm up 15 minutes dinamic strechs
Then i do interval training for 1 kilometer
run 20 kl going up hill( only about 8 kilometers are going up)

Day 2
Yoga ashtanga for 1 hr and half

Day 3
Calisthenics for 1 hour,i also use elastic bands on this day

Day 4
Rest

Tehn i repeat the routine.
Sometimes i take 2 or 3 days off at the end of the month.

How could i adapt burst training to my routine?
I i change the running days for burst train i will still burn the same amount of calories that i do with my up hill long run?

I saw some articles say that after doing burst training you should not exercise the next day,is that true?
e fun in the mountain.
If i do burst training and then run the 20 k it is bad for my half because a liberate cortisol?
I am more concerned about long term health and if my long run is doing harm to my healthi will stop.
I was thinking that maybe i could do the burst training and then just walk to hav
Thanks ,
Marco

You could try doing burst intervals on a recumbent bike or doing exercises from the floor on your knees like plank walks and pushups.

I am not able to stand/walk for more then 10 minutes and this would put me down for a few days just doing the sprint and taking pain medications which I try hard not to take. I have CRPS in my foot and just putting on shoes is non-existent since the pain level goes way up with the pressure of shoes on my foot. I don’t want to spend money on a gym that I know that would cause more issues and put me in more pain.
