Burger King's Impossible Burger Review For Health Nuts

I got a chance to try out Burger King's Impossible Whopper last week. It was delicious but there is a problem, it is very high in calories. 

The Impossible Burger is a product from Impossible Foods, Inc., a company that develops plant-based products that are meant to taste like real meat. The burgers are made up of mostly soy protein concentrate (a highly-processed form of soy), coconut oil and various additives to help give the burger its meaty texture.

Burger King's Impossible Whopper has Burger King’s signature grill flavor with ketchup, onion, mayonnaise, pickles, a tomato and lettuce. However, they do ask you if you want cheese on the burger, but if you are a vegan, that is something that you probably would not add. Burger King’s Impossible Whopper has the same amount of protein as the meat Whopper version, but with 15 percent less fat and 90 percent less cholesterol. Both burgers have the same amount of saturated fat.

The Burger King's Impossible Whopper has a whopping 600 calories per serving or burger. If you remove the mayonnaise, the calorie count goes down to 470 calories. The fat and saturated fat decrease from 34 to 16 and 11 to 8 respectfully. 

What is the bottom line:

The Impossible Whopper is a tasty treat, but if you are calorie conscience, you might want to skip the fries and eliminate the mayonnaise so you won't blow your diet.

The Top 3 Step Aerobic YouTube Videos For Novices

Step aerobics has been around for a long time since the 1990s. Even though it has waned in popularity there are plenty of clubs that still offer step classes.

I have been teaching step classes for 25 years and I still love to teach the class. It burns a ton of calories and on top of that, it is a lot of fun.

You can practice step aerobics at home before you try the class out in person. If you are not quick to pick up on steps, you might want to learn the basic patterns and terminology first. However, you will need a step bench before you start. You can find a used one on eBay or buy a new one on Amazon.

For beginner exercisers or anyone under 5' 4"(162 cm), you might one to start with the four-inch bench. If you are tall, over 5' 10" (151 cm), you probably can start with a six-inch-high bench if you can handle it. As you get in better shape, you can add on the risers to get a more intense workout.

If have found the top 3 step aerobic YouTube videos for novices. Check them out and let me know what you think.

Jenny Ford videos are really 

great for beginners.

Paul is over 60 and his video is fun 

and easy to follow.

The instructor teaches you the steps and the 

step names before getting into the workout.

Planet Fitness 30 Minute Circuit Workout Variations

If you are a member of Planet Fitness health club, you are probably familiar with the 30-minute workout circuit. If not, you can read my blog post about creating the same workout at home. The Planet Fitness Circuit At Home

If you do the Planet Fitness 30 minute circuit workout on a regular basis, I have some variation so you can give your body some muscle confusion. Muscle confusion is a concept that centers around one doing a variety of workouts. It is designed to provide that one place different demands on the body so that the body needs to continue to adapt without getting used to the same exercise plan.

Below are my Planet Fitness 30-minute circuit workout variations:

• Do the circuit twice so you will work out for one hour
• Work on your arms twice and omit your legs in the 30-minute circuit
• Omit your shoulders and arms and work your legs twice in the 30-minute circuit
• The workout calls for 12 reps instead do 20 reps in the 30-minute circuit
• Do the circuit as is but do abdominal exercises instead of the steps

This is the Planet Fitness circuit plan that eliminates the steps and adds in core exercises. You will need a mat, weight or medicine ball.
