Gass on the Grass

The average daily calorie burn of the Super Friends of Peachtree Road Boot Camp is around 2,000. Two grand does NOT take into account the workout. The workout provides 600-800. The "smolder" that occurs after the workout is good for another 300-500. Ever notice that we sweat AFTER we get out of the shower? That is "the smolder." For those of us who work out every day, "THE SMOLDER" creates a pile of smoldering coals that burn long after the workout and never really burn out. Just about the time the coals are about to go from warm to cold, we get up, kick the tires and light the fires. By the time the workout is over, we have been running the engines wide open for long enough to get the coals white hot again.

The average daily calorie burn of a Super Friend that works out every day is over 3,000. What happens over months and years of daily exercise is our metabolism picks up and the natural burn rises to 3,500-4,000. We like to say: "if the furnace gets hot enough it will burn anything." While that is true, keeping the furnace hot for weeks and months can burn away a lot of sins from the past. What are we burning? FAT.

Running on the flat grass beats everything for pure cardio.
