Fat or Skinny!
Burning Calories and Improving Health
Fat is what you want to shed and that happens, on average, at a rate of one to two pounds a week. Although we all lose weight at different rates, in three months it is possible to shift almost two stone, which could have a huge impact on your figure and sense of well-being. Fat is not the perpetrator to being overweight. You require this to maintain your weight at the correct level. Fat will not be consumed until after half an hour of exercise. Therefore, the longer time each exercise takes, the more fat is burned.
Exercising is as equally as important as eating healthy, since it is great for weight loss as well as improving fitness. Exercise helps to build up the muscles, bones, heart, and many other organs in the body. Exercise does not have to be strenuous to be beneficial. And some studies show that short sessions of exercise several times a day are just as effective at burning calories and improving health as one long session. Exercises help in this through strengthening your muscles.
Exercise doesn’t have to be blah, though. It doesn’t have to be a chore forced upon us for our own good, like going to the dentist or spring cleaning the house. Exercise, particularly strength-training routines that require you to lift or push weights, done two to three times a week, replace fat with muscle. This is important because muscle burns more calories than fat does. Exercise not only protects and increases your muscle strength during a diet, it causes more rapid loss of fat. Since you’re adding muscle tissue, not burning it, fat remains the only source of energy and is consumed all the more rapidly.
