Holly, similar to most women that are expecting, had cravings during her pregnancy, and just couldn't handle them. Once her baby was born Holly was stunned to find out that she had an extra 50 pounds on her body.

Holly found that walking 45 minutes a day and adjusting the speeds of her walks helped her to get rid of some of the weight, but she wanted to find something that would do this in less time. Soon Holly was unable to walk each day and she started to do some research in intensity level workout routines to find a way to exercise less and reduce more weight..

EPOC, will increase your metabolism for between 24 to 48 hours, which means you will continue to shed pounds even after you are done exercising.
