Physical wellness have to be a integral part of your lifestyle, in
order for you to achieve optimal health. While physical wellness isn't
just about trying to lose weight, but it's a very important part of any
weight loss program. Because the only way to get rid of any extra
calories you consume is to burn them off!
Being overweight is the result of eating more calories than your body
uses for energy. Rather than dispense with all the excess, the body
sets up storage areas for fat deposits. Years of careless eating and
unexercised muscles can lead to an extreme overweight condition called
obesity.
When used in combination with a sound, gradual diet, exercise gives the
body a way to burn off excess calories. Diet and exercise together make
up the best way to lose weight. Contrary to popular myth, moderate
exercise doesn’t inflate a person’s appetite. In fact, exercise helps
regulate the appetite by sensitizing the body to its true energy needs.
Without exercise, a diet can leave the body weak and untoned.
It is essential to find an activity that you enjoy that requires
sustained movement, as simple as walking, hiking, dancing, tennis,
swimming or riding your bike—or a combination of all of those to
prevent boredom & be sure to record any activities on your
diaries.
One of the best side effects of adding exercise to your routine is
increasing the proportion of lean muscle mass. This will not only give
our bodies a more pleasing shape, but other benefits are:
Toned muscles increase the body’s fat-burning
capacity
Weight shifts from fat to muscles, changing
body measurements and, as a result, reducing clothing sizes
Being in shape improves cholesterol levels,
blood pressure levels and your body fat percentage
Getting
Started
A consistent exercise program allows the body to burn calories more
efficiently during exercise and to continue to burn calories more
efficiently after the activity has ended, even while you sleep.
The ideal weight-loss/fat-loss exercise or activity that does not need
to leave you breathless, it is better to perform exercise at a pace
that allows you to maintain a conversation.
