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. |
