weight loss

The way energy is selected mechanism is determined by the intensity (speed of execution of movement) and volume (amount of work). So, when the intensity is low and high volume aerobic metabolism is resorted to.

But what is low intensity? In efforts aerobic intensity correlates with heart rate (which is about 75 beats per minute at rest). This means that the higher speed of movement, the greater the number of beats per minute reaching the limit (estimated at 220 minus age for men and 200 minus age for women).

Regarding metabolism can be based on the concept that it requires about 70 calories per kilometer race (always depending on the intensity), so if you make your calorie count, you can discern how to remove excess run. For example, if you have entered 2200 calories and has run 7 kilometers, has used its reserves to 300 calories, and required 2000 for basal metabolism and 500 to run that distance.

Weight Loss Advices

Friday, May 14th, 2010

slimming pills and drugsMost of the slimming pills and drugs, either with or without a prescription, say they have a diuretic effect, moderating appetite and fat burning. But, with the exception of the drugs indicated in case of obesity, the rest is largely ineffective if not combined with diet or exercise, and even dangerous if taken without control. That is, if taken, must be pro-counter or as a complement to a weight loss plan seriously.

Excessive caloric intake and energy expenditure = little extra kilos. But if you struggle to reduce the amount of food you eat what you should do is to increase caloric expenditure. And this is precisely what they claim some of these miracle products that claim to speed up the metabolic activity to burn huge amounts of calories without moving the couch. False. There is no reliable study about it and not even scientifically possible: to burn calories without moving our body temperature would be similar to that of an oven … Follow a restricted diet and increasing physical activity are the only effective methods to burn calories.

To lose weight, consult your doctor, especially if you have severe obesity or hypertension problems. Of course, ask to take you before any product, as the majority does not fulfill the promises announced and can be dangerous. Escape from pills prescribed by doctors who promise to lose weight in no time and effortlessly, from those sold on TV or internet, the formulations and any other product of uncertain composition. Do not let them fool you: you can not lose in two days what has won in months or years, goes against all logic and nature.

If you want to eat garlic to lose weight, it is extremely important to consume moderate amounts and to include them in your normal dietary habits rather than forcing you to introduce them into your stomach.

Myth on sports

Monday, March 1st, 2010

No physical pain can not get the desired results (it is nothing without)

Demystifying: This is a classical myth. The truth is that if your muscles suffer after your last physical exertion, you may well have offended. The muscle pain is not necessary to pass a physical training. In fact, pain may even be a warning sent by your body telling you that you go too far (beyond your physical capabilities).

A few slight pain is not unusual if you change your exercise routine, but if you still endure muscle pain over two days after your last physical training, you probably went too far or have not given enough time for your muscles to recover (or a mixture of both).

Ultimately, sport brings many benefits: better health, energy, confidence, etc.. There are risks, but make sport a part of your life will always give long term benefits. Just make sure to debunk myths about the sport and base your routine physical training on established truths.
