You can eat what you like as long as you train well?
Sure you can. But remember 1 minute of burpees burns roughly 6 – 10 calories depending on your size and weight, so if you want to gorge on pizza and wine then that’s a hell of a lot of burpees. Perhaps a better and more manageable way is to mostly eat healthy foods and train well so if you do have a life and binge once in a while then its not the end of the world.

Heart rate monitors are the best way to judge how hard I am working?
They are a great way to check, measure and compare your intensity to your fitness levels, but as with every aspect of fitness, don’t get too hung up on the numbers and zones. Use it as a tool, not your main focus.

Cardio is best for losing weight?
Losing weight is down to calorie deficit. If you consume less calories than your body uses, you will lose weight. You can use cardio as tool to increase the calorie deficit.
