| So
you think you want to hit the gym full-force for the next six
weeks so that you can be sure that you go down 5 dress sizes?
Weight loss and physical fitness go hand in hand. Although regular
exercise renders overall well-being, losing weight via exclusive
exercise is not going to accelerate the results, unless your caloric
intake is reduced. Nevertheless,
the physical results do not happen overnight and are not immediately
apparent. For example, performing aerobic exercise for a 6-week
period would not garner overt weight loss; however the changes
would transpire at a cellular level. What transpires during
a six week stretch of fitness activity is the body grows tired
because the red blood cells are trying to adapt to the physiologically
changes. Alternatively, many individuals reach the plateau of
fatigue and patter out because they cannot exceed the hump.
On the other spectrum
of fitness programs, the results experienced with strength training
are expedient. During the physiological measurements of strength
programs, the modifications in muscle protein referred to as
nitrogen retention, indicates the capacity of muscle mass developed
within 24-hours of a rigorous and intense workout.
Despite the accelerated
results of strength training, cardiovascular fitness should
not be overlooked. For instance, after an intensive series of
aerobics three to five times a week, the lab results would depict
improvements related to the reduction of risk factors associated
with cardiovascular disease.
Subsequently, individuals
may monitor the intensity level of their workout by conducting
a simple talk and work-out test. If you are unable to maintain
a conversation without becoming winded, then the rigorousness
of the exercise is most likely optimal. Also, using a heart
rate monitoring device is a good way of checking the intensity
rate of your workout. |
