Most people lose lean muscle mass as they age. This is often because older people tend to be less active physically.
However, muslce is metabolically active and because of this it burns more calories than any of our other body tissues. This is true of muscle even when it is resting. So, if you want to gain more muscle or maintain what you presently have, you should be engaged in a sensible resistance weight training routine. This will help you to burn more calories as well as make you look and feel much better.

A daily cardio program will also help you to fire up your metabolism. HIIT, or High Intensity Interval Training is the best form of cardio to engage in. It is done by switching between low intensity cardio, such as a jogging for 2 or 3 minutes, and then higher intensity cardio, such as running all out for 1 or 2 minutes. Continue to alternate between the two for a 20 to 30 minute workout, with perhaps 5 minutes of normal walking at the end for a good cool down. Research has shown that HIIT helps to keep your metabolic rate elevated for up to 48 hours after you have finished your workout.

If you also want to do your cardio on your weight training days, the best time to do so is immediately after you've completed your resistance weight training routine.

On other days, do your cardio on an empty stomach, first thing in the morning. This will produce the best fat burning effect.

So, what are you waiting for? Isn't it about time that you started to do something about that ugly and dangerous belly fat around your midsection? Make a committment to yourself today to get started on a sensible weight training, cardio, and diet program and get on the road to better health.
