Everyone who works out wants to get stronger, burn fat, get energized and feel better. But too many people are going about their workouts in the wrong way and by working out too hard, they’re actually working against themselves.
I interviewed Christopher Warren who has his Masters in Exercise Physiology and is an expert in Metabolic testing and training programs (and he’s my little brother too), to shed some light on how by working out with less intensity, we can burn more fat, build more strength, have more energy and recover more quickly so we can keep getting these great results over and over again.

He refers to a couple of websites in our discussion, so I’ve placed them here for you to reference.
Aerobic Threshold Chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Exercise_zones.png
Metabolic Testing Center Search: http://www.newleaffitness.com/
Basic Heart Rate Monitors: http://www.polarusa.com/us-en/products/get_active (be sure to get one with a chest strap which has much better accuracy than the wrist monitors).
Place your comments and/or questions here and if I can’t answer it, I’ll make sure Chris gets them and I’ll put you two in touch.
