Common Post-Workout Mistake Common Post-Workout Mistake
 		Save Tip

The exercise-more, eat-more attitude can backfire, according to a recent study. After 328 overweight women exercised for six months, those who had worked out for 190 minutes a week lost the same amount of weight on average as those who exercised just 70 minutes. Unfortunately, it isn't uncommon for frequent exercisers to fall into the trap of thinking they've burned enough calories to have earned a treat, just a little dessert or an extra helping of their favorite dish. What happens is they end up undermininig their efforts to lose weight. If you need to reward yourself, do so, but use something, ANYTHING, other than food.
