Exercise for weight Loss and
Health
For many people who are overweight starting
an exercise program can be quite difficult.
What you need to understand is that you don't have to
immediately start going out for long-distance runs. In fact to
do so if you are quite overweight could be detrimental to your
health.
In the beginning of an exercise program it is better to start
by going for walks and don't be too concerned if initially they
are short walks and slow ones at that.
You can't expect to run before you walk and you will find that
once you start taking the steps towards your goal it will
become easier and easier.
Even if you don't like exercise you need to be aware of the
fact that exercise is one of the fastest ways for you to reduce
weight and improve your health and speed up your metabolism to
help reach your goals.
The more exercise you do, the more energetic you will become
and this in turn makes it a lot easier for you to achieve your
daily activities.
Exercise also helps to flush out toxins in the body and improve
your digestive system with increased blood flow throughout the
body so even small levels of exercise are going to benefit to
some degree.
Any exercise that involves the use of resistance such as
weightlifting will boost your ability to lose weight
considerably as muscle burns fat and any muscle that you can
build will help to lower your fat levels.
These resistance training type exercises also help to increase
the strength of your bones that is very important as you
age.
If possible, it is good to have some physical activity each day
and at least you should assign time to do a minimum of 30
minutes of exercise three times per week.
If you find that you can't do that initially don't be too
concerned as you will build up to it before too long and most
people end up enjoying it and make it part of their regular
lifestyle.
