That’s right. I’m talking about the big E word… Exercise!Remember that motion is life, and life is about motion We are creatures designed to move.Moving stimulates weight loss by increasing your metabolism ten fold.
Muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in your body.Our bodies were not designed to just sit around and watch TV all day. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers and were forced to walk an average of 9 miles a day. Their physical fitness levels were the equivalent to today’s professional athletes. During that time, it was survival of the fittest.
We have a different choice now: Be fit or be fat, and die a painful slow death filled with disease.Remember, one out of two people have heart attacks. Do you want to be the lucky one or the unlucky one? By following a green weight loss program, you are able to lose weight naturally and permanently. Exercise is a crucial part of living a “green” lifestyle. Exercise should be performed with a wide variety of activities. Your goal is functional movement that not only makes you look younger, but will also protect you from injuries.Recent studies show that when the heart is worked at different intervals, it is at its healthiest. This includes endurance exercises such as long distance running, anaerobic exercises such as weight lifting and cross training exercises such as sports. Here are three simple strategies to use exercise while working to enhance your metabolism:
- Take a half an hour walk every day.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Push mow your yard.
- Do interval training when running. Go fast for 1 minute and slow down for a couple minutes. Bump up the intensity and do it again.
Following a green weight loss program will not only melt fat away, but your health will improve.
