A Complete Guide To Weight Loss Exercise

Loosing weight in a healthy manner is not the function of some pills packed in a bottle. Diet plans that make tall claims but don't include any recommendations for exercise are just a recipe for disaster. Focusing on diet alone for weight loss means that you're getting all your weight loss from cutting back on your diet, you caloric intake. This puts your body in a prolonged state of deprivation which eventually leads to malnutrition and loss of muscle mass. Remember that the body will eat up the muscle tissue before it burns the fat for energy, so this is dangerous, unhealthy and unsustainable way to loose weight.

Exercise on the other hand speeds up your metabolism and keeps on burning the energy that you get from your food, instead of letting it get stored as fat. With the help of exercise, you can sustain weight loss for the rest of your life. Once you reach your desired weight, exercise will allow you to take normal caloric intake daily and burn the extra calories through exercise. Exercise also helps to prevent diseases like heart attack, diabetes, strokes, high blood pressure, etc. it genuinely improves your quality of life.

Here are some great, easy to do simple ways to burn calories;

1. Stretches: you may be surprised to know, but stretching is a great way to start to loose weight. If your weight problem is not a very great one, or you're just starting to exercise, stretches will defiantly be a part of your warm up routine. But if you don't, for some reason, have the time to begin exercising immediately, at least do 10-15 minutes of stretches. Stretching puts your body in action mode. It takes the 憆ust' out of your joints and gives increased flexibility. And since stretches are so easy to do, there isn't anything for you to worry about. Remember that stretches are slow exercises and you can't make fast jerky movements or you'll probably through a muscle out.

2. Walking: walking is great for your cardiovascular health as well as weight loss. Get into the habit of walking as often as you can. Try walking to college, to work, to the grocery store for a mid-week visit, whenever you get the opportunity. Plan a 30 minute walk daily. If you can't walk the whole 30 minutes, at least walk till you break into a sweat. Gradually try to increase your time as well as your pace.

3. Running: running is a great way to loose weight and tone the body. Running 1 mile helps you to burn 100 calories. Be sure to warm up before you start running. Running helps to increase stamina and you get amazingly toned legs as a by-product.

4. Stair Climbing: this is my favorite exercises because it's simple and very effective. This humble exercise can burn up to 50 calories in 10 minutes; provided that you keep a normal pace. Do stretches for 10 minutes followed by 10 minutes of climbing and descending stairs. You don't have to do this briskly, just at a normal pace. After the exercise, cool down by walking in you living room or hall or even you own room for about 5-10 minutes. You can gradually increase the time you spend stair climbing. Results will be visible within 2 weeks.
