Exercise Melts Body Fat
If you want to reduce your body fat, focus on increasing the amount of exercise you get
rather than decreasing your food intake. A recent national study was done using two groups
of sedentary men, one group in their 20's and the other over age 65. A lot was learned
from this accumulated data and it is interesting to note that there was a significant
relationship between lack of physical activity and fat. Not surprisingly, the most
sedentary men had the most body fat.
These studies have also indicated that the governments current recommended daily allowance
for calories does not correlate with the body's actual energy needs. For example, although
2400 calories have been calculated for older men, they in fact burned an average of 2800
calories daily.
The leading experts now recommend that people who want to lose weight start increasing
their physical activity. Just being more active in general (such as climbing the stairs
instead of taking the elevator, moving around instead of sitting still, sitting up instead
of lying down as well as showing some excitement and enthusiasm instead of boredom), are
things that more effectively burns calories and reduces body fat. Everyone seems to have
lost sight of the value of being active. Consider this, a half-hour aerobic workout
accounts for far less energy expenditure than our minute-to-minute movement in the office
or at home.
Millions of Americans are trying to lose weight, spending approximately $30 billion a year
on diet programs and products, often they do lose some weight. But, if you check with the
same people five years later, you will find that nearly all have regained whatever weight
they lost. A national panel recently sought data to determine if any commercial diet
program could prove long-term success. Not a single program could do so. Being seriously
overweight and particularly obesity predisposes individuals to a number of diseases and
serious health problems, and it's now a known fact that when caloric intake is excessive,
some of the excess frequently is saturated fat.
People who diet without exercising often get fatter with time. Although your weight may
initially drop while dieting, such weight loss consists mostly of water and muscle. When
the weight returns, it comes back as fat. To avoid getting fatter over time, increase your
metabolism by exercising regularly.
Walking is one of the best exercises for strengthening bones, controlling weight, toning
the leg muscles, maintaining good posture and improving positive self-concept. To lose
weight, it's more important to walk for time than speed. Walking at a moderate pace yields
longer workouts with less soreness - leading t more miles and more fat worked off on a
regular basis. High intensity walks on alternate days help condition one's system. But in
a walking, weight-loss program, you are not required to walk an hour every day as some
people would have you believe.
When it comes to good health and weight loss, exercise and diet are inter-related.
Exercising without maintaining a balanced diet is no more beneficial than dieting while
remaining inactive.
