subject: Fat Loss Exercise by:James Gibbard [print this page] How, Diet, Plus Exercise will Greatly Improve Your Fat Loss Results!!
A lot of us live our lives like caged animals. Built to move, too often we restrict our capabilities. We have bodies intended for intensive daily movement, but we live an existence designed for moving from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed.
It was not always this way. Not long ago in the United States, a farm worker did the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 miles of jogging. Of course, this lack of exercise has largely been brought about by the automation of physical jobs which once helped to keep people fit.
Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise, we have to seek it out.
In fact, health experts insist that obesity problems are probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.
However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the block will offset a daily dose of over eating. Exercise alone is not very efficient, experts say. They view that if you just exercise and do not change your diet, you may be able to avoid weight gain or even lose a few pounds for a while.
Nevertheless, it is not something that you are likely to maintain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, the easier it is to manage your weight. Here is what to do every day to make sure that you get the exercise you need.
1. Get quality Rest and Sleep.
Make sure that you get sufficient sleep. Good sleeping habits are beneficial to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are unlikely to get much physical activity during the day.
Also, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substitute for the rest they need.
2. Walk the walk.
It is probably the easiest exercise program of all. In fact, it may be all you ever have to do, according to advice from some professional health experts.
Progressively build up to at least 30 minutes of vigorous walking five times a week. Vigorous walks themselves have health and psychological benefits that are well worth the effort.
3. Walk the treadmill.
When the weather is not so good, you might not feel like going outdoors. But if you have a treadmill in a television room, you can catch up on your favourite shows while you are doing your daily good turn for your fat loss plan.
Most of us watch television anyway, and indoor exercise equipment enables anyone to turn a sedentary activity into a healthy walk.
4. Seize the time
Excuses aside, lack of time is certainly a restricting factor in most lifestyles. That is why health experts suggest a basic rule for incorporating exercise into your agenda. Get as much exercise as you can that feels good without letting it hinder your work or family life. If you need to, remind yourself that you are preventing many health problems when you avoid weight gain; and keeping your health is a gift to your family as well as yourself.
