Question # II-H
What kind of exercise is optimal to do on my off-interval days?
If you can exercise more than three times a week, then your Momentum Workout Schedule encourages you to do the No Excuses Workout, a powerful 24-minute in-home strength training routine. Strength training will help you increase your lean muscle mass which will help increase your resting metabolism. The more muscle you have, the more calories you will burn throughout the day.
