Exercise IQ

Answer the following questions with a true or false. Then review the answers below to test the bounds of your exercise intelligence quotient.

1. Exercising after five in the evening will cause sleep disorders.

2. For the best combination of aerobic conditioning and strength training, use hand and ankle weights during running to increase resistance.

3. Doing aerobic exercise induces accelerated weight loss by permanently boosting the metabolism.

4. Exercising incites hunger.

5. The major benefit of exercising is how it allows people the opportunity to eat whatever they want.

Answers

1.) Exercising three to five hours prior to bedtime will contribute to a restful and somber sleep. Contrary to popular belief, late-day exercise does not negatively impact sleeping or insomnia.


2.) While jogging and using hand or ankle weights are good ways to exercise, the two training activities should not be combined together. Since the momentum of the weights may impede aerobic performance, it will also stress tissues and cause joint and muscular problems.

3.) The body’s metabolism speeds up during cardiovascular activity. The rate at which calories are burned remains heightened for a short time span, afterwards. Consequently, it does not mean that it is a green light to consume three 5-course meals a day. On the contrary, when strength training is combined with an aerobic workout, calorie-burning muscle is developed to, which enhances metabolic advantages – in the long run.

4.) With intense exercise, the appetite is suppressed momentarily. Through exercise, the brain is more in tune with the body’s needs versus cravings. Being physically fit inspires healthy behavior.

5.) When more calories are consumed than are burned, weight gain is inevitable. An ideal weight management regimen is a balance between adequate exercise and a healthy diet.
