Relying on short bursts of intense activity, such as going to the gym, may actually mean you put on weight. Researchers measuring the energy expended by 14 women and 16 men over 2 weeks found those who engaged in sport or gym-based exercise made up for it by reduced activity when not training. Overall, they burnt fewer kilojoules then those who got moderate exercise through walking, cycling or just a less sedentary job. So make gym sessions the icing on the cake of an active life and don't reward yourself after workouts by eating pizza in front of the TV.
