Gain Muscle...Loose Weight!!
By Healthy-Diet-Newsletter
 
When you are overweight, begin to exercise and eat right,
in the beginning, you will lose more weight each week at first.
After a while, it will slow down and you will not loose quite as much...
BUT...do not dispair...keep at it...and a steady weight loss will occur.
 
In fact, even Doctors will tell you this...
A healthy weight loss of 1 pound, to a 1-1/2 pound, in a week
is the safest and healthest way to lose weight.
Any thing more....you can loose valuable muscle!!!
Which you need to burn calories and to keep your metabolism running faster!
In the long run, it is easiest to keep off the weight
when going slower.
 
Muscle - Don't loose it!! Gain it!!
 
The more lean muscle you have, the more calories your
body burns throughout the day. That is where excercise comes into play...
 
Exercise is beneficial for us, from reducing the risk of heart
disease, weight management, controlling cholesterol, diabetes, and high blood pressure levels.
Working with Weight Resisitance helps prevent osteoporosis due to bone loss.
Furthermore....exercise boosts energy levels and
helps elevate stress,
improves flexibility, improves your quality of sleep.
You will even burn more calories while you're sleeping.
Can't beat that!!!!
Exercise also tones your muscles which leads to improved posture.
It will improve the quality of life overall.
 
When you are losing weight,
sagging skin can occur, it is best that you tone it up!!!
 
Please remember....
There is no such thing as spot reduction.
You will loose weight all over....depending on your body.
You really have no control over where you loose, but
what matters is that you are loosing!!!!
It will show!!
 
Weight training and aerobic exercise....
will simply sculpt your body and boost your metabolism.
Well....I think that is enough to get you moving!!
 
WARNING!!
Do not overeat just because you're exercising!!
You have to incorporate a healthy eating plan,
along with exercise in order to loose that weight!!
You can have the best workout routine,
but if you´re not eating right,
your results will be minimal, if none!!!
Exercise can increase your appetite at first....
but maintain your willpower!!
 
Drink 8 to 10 ounces of water,
10 to 20 minutes before starting a light workout.
Drink some more water afterwards...
 
While exercising...NEVER hold your breath!!!
How to:
Breathe out while pushing or pulling
AND breathe in when letting weights down.
Holding your breath can strain your heart.
We don't want that!!
Also....
Posture is the key to proper technique.
Move slowly...Don't rush!
 
Make time to include a 5-minute warm up and
a 5 minute cool down period, before and after...
 
Add stretching exercises for warm ups.
They are important to keep your body limber and flexible,
to help prevent injury.
