Dancing

2009-03-05T07:20:00.001-08:00

If you are a dance lover loosing weight is just like a fun trip for you.

Dance is an art form which refers to movement of the body, usually rhythmic and to music.
Dancing is not only fun but it is also a good exercise to be fit physically and mentaly.

Dancing has lots of styles like break dancing, hip-hop, ballroom, ballet, classical dancing etc. But every dance involves body movement and flexibility.

Doctors have already proved the benefits of dancing in day to day life. Experts say dancing, burns calories, boosts energy, improves circulation and tones muscle--which leads to increased strength, endurance and flexibility.

Around 30 minutes of countinous dancing will burn 200 to 400 calories and at the same time help in the prevention of osteoporosis i.e.slow loss of bone mass, relieves tension and stress, improves your mood and serves as an outlet for your creativity.

A minimum of 20 minutes session three times a week will improve your cardiovascular results. But if your goal is to burn calories and lose weight, you need to increase those numbers.For an older person with no fitness background, 45 minutes of moderate dancing once a week is a good.

For many people looking to get fit, the dance floor offers a good entertaining alternative, and doing some thing you like makes it easier then anything else.
Simple rule: More you like it more you gonna do it.

So if you are tired of regular traditional exercises I'm sure dancing a little bit everyday will definitely help you lose weight.

Let all that good health come dancing your way.

Aerobics

2009-03-02T07:36:00.000-08:00

Aerobic exercise is that exercise which involves oxygen consumption by the body. Aerobic means "with oxygen", and refers to the use of oxygen in the body's metabolic or energy-generating process.

Many types of exercise are aerobic like jogging, brisk walking, skipping, swimming, dancing. These exercises are performed at moderate levels of intensity for extended periods of time.

To obtain best results,an aerobic exercise should include at least 10 minutes of warm up session followed by 30 minutes of intense workout.

Aerobics is a rhythmic activity which strengthens our heart and lungs and in the process helps us exhale more of carbon dioxide and other waste.

Efficient use of oxygen, helps body burning more fat. It's good for cholesterol, and cardiovascular system.

Obese people should be extra careful while starting. They should start with low-impact exercises or jogging for at least 20-30 minutes a day. As their system and muscles get used to the exercise routine they can start with the more strenuous exercises and do it for an hour a day.
Undergoing strenuous aerobic exercises without being used to it may cause cardiac arrests and respiratory problems.

In a happy life aerobics is your armor to fight emotional and psychological stress.

Cycling

Cycling is an effective and enjoyable form of aerobic exercise.

Everyday cycling will keep you in good form and shape.

Not only reducing obesity, cycling can also reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.

Bicycling is better exercise for heart than walking and jogging. One can ride a bicycle at any time, anywhere and at low cost.

Best results are achieved when cyclists are breathing heavily, but not out of breath.It increases your daily caloric output because it requires energy to move you and your bicycle against the resistance of air and gravity.

Around 20 minutes of cycling 5 times a week burns off around 15 pounds ( 7 Kgs. approx.) of fat in a year. The amount of calories burned can even go higher when you increase the intensity of cycling.

No need to carry a guilt in heart after eating a chocolate bar or having a couple of drinks, an hour of cycling can burn 300 calories for you :)

For some reason if outdoor cycling is not possible indoor cycling is the option for you. It has almost all the benefits of normal cycling plus you don't have to spend for a helmet :) . For those who don't know riding, indoor cycling is a great solution. It is a great workout for people of all ages, even older adults with joint problems.

The ones with heart disease or other health problems should consult their doctor before starting.

This aerobic form of exercise is a fuel-efficient way to get around and very cost effective. That is why the bicycle is such a popular form of transport throughout the world.

Cycling, the researchers behind the study concluded, is 'one of the few physical activities which can be undertaken by the majority of the population as part of a daily routine'

Swimming

Swimming for weight loss...

Swimming is often called as the best form of aerobic exercise for weight loss and it seems to make sense.

Swimming is not only use all the muscles in your body, it is very easy on the joints and thus good for overall body weight.

Most people having diseases such as arthritis or even have injuries like torn ligaments are still able to swim because it doesn't jar the joints and muscles.

It is popular with people who are extremely overweight, pregnant, or suffering from some kind of injury.

Swimming is an effective form of fat-burning exercise: because you can swim at your own pace, slowly if you wish, you can keep swimming for long periods, and maintaining your staying power is a vital goal in fat-burning exercise.

When you swim breaststroke or backstroke, you're burning about the same number of calories as a fast walk or a slow jog.

However, for some reason, swimming appears to be less effective than other forms of exercise at promoting weight loss.

Many people feel extremely hungry after training in the pool, and may simply replace all the calories they've burned with a large post-exercise meal. Some research suggests that this is due to the cool temperatures in which swimmers train. Well now, starving is not the solution, you can have a look at our Diets section.

By contrast, runners and cyclists usually experience an increase in body temperature during training, which may serve to suppress appetite - at least in the short term. Again, one should not starve.

Regular swimming strengthens up your body muscles and it is the best way to burn your calorie.

If you can speed up then you have faster chance of loosing weight. However, it doesn’t come that easily.

Jogging a multi benefit exercise

2009-02-17T09:14:00.000-08:00

Jogging is for you, if you are really looking out for a multi-benefit exercise.

Few among the countless pros of jogging are
* Reduces body fat percentage
* Lowers stress
* Great medicine for depression
* Muscle toning
* Heart simulating
* Brings rhythm to the body

Hey but this package also comes with some cons.
In case of highly overweight people jogging is not advisable since it brings in a lot of pressure on the joints and also cause muscle injury.

Also if you are a patient of heart or have family history of blood pressure, its better to get advise from the physician.

Medical practitioners generally dont recommend jogging for age above 60.

If you have not exercised from long time take jogging easy. Don't stress your self, no stretching.
Don't run for life, enjoy the pace and run with life, you'll run longer :)

Brisk walking the simplest exercise

2009-02-16T09:47:00.000-08:00

Brisk walking is the simplest form of exercise. It implies walking at a pace which is faster than your normal leisure speed but still not exhausting.

It does not only reduce the body fat percentage but is also beneficial for lowering cholesterol, treating high blood pressure and diabetes.

For fat and overweight people, brisk walking is best exercise because walking at a fast pace involves the workout of the entire body which in turn helps in trimming and toning of a body.

An average walk lasting around 45 minutes can do wonders beyond your imagination.

An uphill walk is also a good exercise for heart and a downhill walk is good for reducing sugar levels. Due to location constraints a hilly walk would not be possible for everyone. The solution for this is a treadmill.

Walking exerts less pressure on the joints, which makes it easier for the overweight.

Real effects of walking are seen in long term and they last forever.

Knowing your enemy first

2009-02-14T19:47:00.001-08:00

Not only being overweight is obesity.

Am I Obese ?

If answer to any of these question is yes, then you are.

* Is your Body Mass Index (BMI) around or above 30?
* You are a female with Waist Hip Ratio more than 0.85?
* You are a male with Waist Hip Ratio more than 0.95?
* You are a female with Body Fat ranging more then 25%?
* You are a male with body fat ranging more then 12%?

Many people think that it is bad to be overweight simply because you do not look nice and you cannot fit into nice clothes. But there is more to it than that, obesity is a major problem that is affecting the whole world.

It is definitely as bad as any other killer disease like cancer, tumor etc. It keeps growing if care is not taken in early stages. Well the good part over cancer is that you don't have to undergo costly medical tests to know you are growing fat, your pants do that job for you :)

On this blog I dont want to go in too specifics of obesity, I'll rather try to keep my pace on Killing Obesity.
