Exercise and Weightloss

We all know that it is important to stay in shape, and that the better you can achieve that, the better and longer you can live. It seems that a lot of people are tending to make it more complicated than it needs to be though.

This is an excerpt from a article posted on the All Access Physical Therapy Blog:

"Regular exercise is an important part of effective weight loss, weight management, as well as disease prevention and improving your overall health. Research consistently shows that regular exercise, combined with healthy eating is the most efficient and healthful way to control your weight. In addition, regular exercise can help prevent heart disease and stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, back pain, and osteoporosis.

Your weight is controlled by the number of calories you consume each day minus the number of calories you use each day. Everything you do, from sleeping, breathing, and digesting your food, uses calories. Physical activity, in addition to your usual daily activity, will help you to burn extra calories. Balancing the number of calories you expend through exercise and physical activity with the number of calories you consume will help you achieve and maintain your desired weight. The key to effective weight loss, weight management, and improved overall heath is to make physical activity a part of your daily routine.

There are a variety of different types of exercises or activities you can do to achieve the benefits mentioned above. The key is to participate in a variety of activities and to do them consistently. Ideally, you should be participating in some sort of physical activity for 30 minutes each day. Mixing up your activities is important so that your body doesn’t accommodate to one form of exercise. A program that consists of aerobic exercise, weight training, speed and agility activities, as well as sports participation will prevent your body from getting used to one routine, improve your metabolism, and be most effective for weight management and improving your overall health."

In closing it is vital that you exercise and keep your body healthy of course. It is also important, however, to keep it simple. 30 minutes a day at least, change it up so your body doesn't adapt.
