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.
