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.
