subject: Exercise Plan To Lose Weight [print this page] To lose weight, one has to know how many calories one is eating. One can do this by tracking the food. Then they should confirm about the amount of burning calories that is desired. It depends upon the weight and what kind of exercise one can do. Heavier people burn more calories during physical activity than lighter people do. More intense physical exercise, such as running, burns more calories than easier exercise, like walking.
There are several ways one can find out the calorie expenditures of various forms of exercise for a person of their weight. At first one can look in a book about exercise that has a robust listing of different exercise forms and their caloric expenditures based on various weights. But most of these do not specify weights. Secondly one can use this excellent online activity calorie counter. Thirdly one can use exercise machines, such as stair climbers, treadmills, or stationary bikes that prompt one to enter their weight ahead of time and tell ones how many calories must burn during their workout. Here are some examples of the energy expended by a 150-pound person in 30 minutes of continuous exercise:
Aerobics: 200-250 calories
Bicycling Stationary: 250-300 calories
Bicycling Actual: 300-400 calories
Running: 5-6 mph 300-350 calories
Stair climber: L 200-250 calories
Swimming laps: 350 calories
Walking briskly: 150-180 calories
Taking the birth control pill is the reason of not losing weight. Birth control Pills are basically oral contraceptives, used by women to avoid unwanted pregnancy. These contraceptive pills mainly contain two hormones estrogen and progesterone, which are synthetic versions of the natural female hormones. The yo-yo diet is characterized by a cyclical pattern of repetitious loss and gain of body weight. Some of the ways people choose to do this include skipping meals and consuming very few calories. There is increasing evidence that weight cycling may lead to cardiovascular and metabolic disorders such as hypertension and diabetes. It is estimated that the energy gap for prevention of weight gain among those who have lost weight is about 100 kcal/day in adults and 100-150 kcal/day in children and adolescents. Sprinting not only burns huge amounts of calories, it also keeps the metabolism flying for days after. Sprinting combined with running or jogging can bring amazing results, especially when combined with a healthy diet.
