Reduce And Maintain Body Weight/Fat By Exercising
How much you eat has little or nothing to do with how fat or lean you are, as much as you burn more than what you consume. What really matters is how much time you spend doing sports and how much vigorous exercise you do.
To reduce body fat, you must burn more calories than you consume on a regular basis, and guess what, exercise is one of the best ways to burn fat (if not the best). Every 3,500 calories is 1 pound of fat.
Exercise burns fat by creating calorie deficit in a couple of ways. You can burn fat through exercise by undergoing cardiovascular exercises and/or endurance exercises.
Cardiovascular exercises includes walking, running, swimming, jogging etc. Cardiovascular exercises increase heart rate and have a positive effect on your metabolism too. The higher your heart rate, the more calories you will burn because an increase in your heart rate will require your body to work and keep itself cool which will result in calorie burn.
On the other hand, resistance training exercises like lifting weights or using resistance bands helps to build lean muscle. The development of lean new muscles will increase metabolism as muscles require more calories to support than body fat.
To get the best results, engage in both cardiovascular exercises and endurance exercises.
Exercising Encorages Strong Bones And Builds Muscle Mass
Weight-bearing exercises causes new bone tissues to form, leading to stronger bones. Bones are living tissues. This kind of physical activity also makes muscles stronger. Bones and muscles both become stronger when muscles push and tug against bones during physical activity.
The effects of sarcopenia (normal loss of muscle strength with age) can be reduced by regular weight -bearing exercises.Some examples of weight-bearing physical activities include:
Walking, jogging or running.
Playing tennis, field hockey, soccer, and basketball.
Climbing stairs, dancing, and weight lifting.
Swimming and bicycling are not weight-bearing activities, so they do not directly help build bones. But swimming and bicycling do help build strong muscles, and having strong muscles helps build strong bones. These activities are also good for the heart and for overall health.
