Health and Fitness for lasting weight loss

Your body needs energy. Energy to regulate heartbeat, respiration, digestion, cell renovation and more. This energy consumption is called the basic metabolism. As the weight loss program will cause you to lose muscle and fat, a good solution to keep the silhouette is to exercise.

45 MINUTES EVERY OTHER DAY

The best: aerobic exercise at a moderate intensity and lasting more than half an hour. At the beginning of your exercise you will burn only glucose. That does not trim anything. After 30 minutes of workout you start to burn fat. Intend to dedicate at least 45 continuous minutes to exercise, for at least 3 days a week (better if everyday) if you want to re-shape your body.

Bicycling
It makes no difference how you’re cycling. Any hour in the day. At a good rhythm without holding back and without too much resistance, from 5km/hr to 19km/hr. Start slowly and increase your rhythm gradually. If you are using a bedroom bicycle you can practice circular motions with you arms while pedalling.

Using weights
Workout the arms with weights of 1 to 2 kilos in each end: strengthens the shoulders and pectoral muscles, and tightens the upper part of the body while sculpting your silhouette.

Dancing: fun and effective
In 1 hour you can burn up to 360 calories. Without saying what good swimming does for you! But, the majority of us do not have a swimming pool in our backyard.

Walking or window shopping
As you walk, try to make circular motions with your arm while breathing deeply: fill your thorax breathing in and tighten your abdomen while breathing out.
