| What
does it take to body build, contour or achieve your ideal body
weight? How
much exercise one does determines the amount of weight they
will lose – particularly with a reduced caloric diet. It depends
on two other factors: the person’s body composition and their
metabolism. While a single pound of fat is equivalent to approximately
3,500 calories, the healthiest method of weight loss is two
pounds per week. For example with a caloric reduction of 500
calories per day via coupled with a nutritious diet, exercise,
or in conjunction with each other can put weight loss on a steady
course.
Beginner’s exercise
strategy: Beginner exercisers should get started with an exercise
routine at a slow deliberate pace. Even if you are in decent
shape, consulting a physician and gradually building your program
is key. Overweight individuals require medical clearance prior
to starting a new fitness regimen. Since the potential of high
blood is greater in overweight patients, doctor’s approval is
needed to set the limits of an exercise routine.
Three to
four days of regular exercise is recommended for the rookie
exerciser. Stamina and endurance should be worked up to a minimum
of five days a week. Simple cardio exercising such as walking,
biking or an elliptical machine may be performed 30 minutes
a day.
Unlike cardiovascular
activity, weight lifting, body building or strength resistance
training should be done a maximum of three to four days.
Now for
dieters looking for a way to eliminate those last five pounds,
there is a way to the finish line. Obviously, calorie reduction
is inevitable. Upping the ante on your bodybuilding program
is a necessity, as well. Although those muscles outweigh fat,
your body will look slender, cut ripped and contoured. |
