Safe and efficacious weight loss
involves two critical elements: exercise, a nutritional diet.
Frequently in an effort to speed up weight loss, dieters deprive
their bodies of nutrients and recommended daily allowances.
Quite often the definition of ‘aerobic’ is
associated with women working out in leotards. The meaning of
aerobic represents that the body is employing oxygen to break
down or metabolize fat and sugar. More importantly, there is
a correlation between oxygen and burning fat. Oxygen is a dire
necessity for the muscle cell to burn through fat. With regular
exercise, aerobic and/or cardiovascular exercises, oxygen consumption
and metabolic rates innately improve the body’s ability to burn
calories faster.
After the aerobic base has been enhanced, physical
trainers recommend adding weight training to fitness programs
either two or three times per week. Once cardiovascular exercises
have built the body’s fitness tolerance level, the recovery
between and after exercises will be improved. The objective
of weight training is to help develop more active muscles. The
reason more active muscles is important is because it accelerates
metabolism so that there is more caloric burn throughout the
course of the day.
Another advantage of implementing weight training
into a fitness program is that it creates tone and definition
in the muscle – making the legs, arms and abdominals glisten
with sex appeal. Despite the benefits or cardio and weight training,
flexibility exercises should be a part of any fitness program,
once a week. Finally, stretching after aerobic and weight training
sessions will help enhance the range of motion in joints while
diminishing muscle soreness. In essence, eating right and staying
fit are the essentials of weight management.
