Exercise Slows the Aging Process

August 15th, 2011

Tyler TX weight loss fitness centersIn a study put out by the American Journal of Physiology it was discovered that antioxidant intervention which happens from taking supplements or exercise can slow the aging process. A steady routine of exercise had a significant effect on reducing oxidation about the same as taking supplements.

Don’t say, “Oh good I will just go take those pills instead of exercising.” It isn’t as simple as that as you must also contend with muscle attrition and fat gain that takes place after a certain age.

Unfortunately after you hit age 25 people typically lose about 1/2 to 1 pound of muscle tissue every year after this age. What happens is that by default our bodies will choose to add on more pounds of fat rather than muscle after this age.

You could see this medical reality as depressing but see it as a reason to get fit. By building up muscle mass through a regular workout routine at home or Tyler TX fitness center most people will increase their metabolic rate and burn more calories while resting.

You see you really can lose weight while doing nothing by you must first get in a workout routine to start building muscle so that will happen.

The numbers look like this, for every pound of muscle you keep or add on you will burn about 30 – 50 calories a day. By letting muscle be the default fiber you add on daily to your body you will allow yourself to lose weight the easy way, by doing nothing. You see that is why you hear the often used phrase, no pain no gain.

By getting in a small work out each day you will allow your body to shed those pounds simply by the new metabolic rate your body has with all that new muscle.

If you stay inactive all the time you are allowing your muscles to slowly eat away. Not only is your metabolic rate decreasing but your muscle tissue is being replaced by fat. This problem is easy to go unchecked as it is hard to see that your muscle is being replaced by fat as your body remains close to the same shape. Eventually you will notice and by that time things have gotten pretty bad.

In summary muscle isn’t just something that looks better than fat it actually increases your bodies ability to burn fat. If you have gone several years without exercising it is not uncommon to have lost close to 15 pounds of muscle. If you were to add that muscle back to your body your metabolic rate would be such that your body would naturally be able to burn 450 – 750 calories more per day simply by having that muscle back on your body.

HCG Hormone Weight Loss Process, What is it?

December 5th, 2010

HCG Hormone Weight Loss ProcessSo, what exactly is involved with the HCG diet weight loss plan, you might ask? With most readings you find about Dr. Simeons diet protocol on the internet or in hard copy, it talks extensively about a disciplined and detailed process that needs to be followed.

As we will see, the majority of this process has to do with the required diet more than anything else. Before going much further let’s review the philosophy behind the procedure. The HCG hormone’s main function in this diet is to “train” the metabolism to isolate calorie and fat burning to the unneeded “abnormal” fat found in our mid-section, hip, and thigh areas.

The HCG hormones supposed other function is to help stabilize the body from any side effects due to the unnaturally low 500-800 calorie diet prescribed in the protocol. Let’s look at the injection aspect first; which can actually be both complicated and/or simple.

Comments from those on the HCG Hormone Diet Plan

The easiest manner is to allow a physician or specialist to administer the injection for you. A secondary simple method is to purchase or order prefilled syringes that are ready to go. The final option for injection is to do all mixing of substance and drawing the injection yourself which can become more complicated and risky.

Now for the diet part of the HCG weight loss protocol. Due to the very low intake of 500 to 800 calories a day, each meal must be planned out ahead taking away all high fats, sugars and pretty much anything else under the sun!

The best recommended method for this is to have a Jillian Michael type like from “The Biggest Loser” breathing down your neck checking your every meal.  An example of a day of meals would go like this: a coffee or tea (without sugar and only a spoon of milk) in the morning, a protein entrée with one vegetable and one fruit. Then, repeat for dinner.

Using Resistance Training to Lose Weight in Tyler TX

November 10th, 2010
Resistance Training Weight Loss

Resistance Training Weight Loss

Many people, especially women, tend to avoid resistance training for the fear of bulking up too much. Resistance training, however, turns your body into a fat burning machine, particularly when combined with cardio exercises. The repair phase on days in between resistance workouts when your muscles heal themselves is really what gives the results, not how much resistance you use necessarily. It is important in resistance training to put quality over quantity, controlling each and every movement and performing the moves correctly.

Personal trainers in Tyler, Texas would be an excellent source for learning how to incorporate resistance training into your weekly weight loss regimen. Instructional videos are also good tools, just be sure to watch the entire workout and learn what to do before you attempt any of the exercises. Because building muscle boosts your metabolism, the more muscle mass you add the better the fat burning power your body has. Every pound of muscle mass will burn 50 calories a day just by being there!

If bulk is a concern, use lower weight resistance tools such as free weights or resistance bands, but be sure to use enough to challenge yourself. You should reach failure before you reach the maximum rep count; otherwise your weights are too light. Because muscle weighs more than fat, you may not see immediate results on the scale, but it won’t take long before you start seeing a difference in the tape measure and the way your clothes fit, and that’s what matters.

Foster Adopt Walkathon in Tyler Texas

November 6th, 2010

The Tyler Texas Foster Adopt Walkathon happened today.

There weren’t very many people there at Rose Rudman Park where the walk started.

There were a couple good speeches encouraging those in Tyler to foster and adopt children from the state.

The walk was around 1 1/2 miles and afterwards there was a bouncy house for children and some fruits and drinks for the walkers.

They also had a fund raising raffle where you could win a Wii game console.

Channel 19 was there so even though there was not a lot of people at the walkathon there was still a good get out the word publicity opportunity for fostering and adoption in Tyler Texas.

Diet for Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

August 17th, 2010

Diet is important if you want to lose weight.  You cannot realistically expect to eat fast food every day for lunch and notice anything but an increase in your size.  The food choices you make have an impact on not only your size, but also your overall health.  Learning how to adopt a healthy diet, however, can be difficult with all of the crash and fad diets lurking around Tyler, Texas.

[ad#HCG Call CJ]

Diet does not refer to a temporary change in eating habits for the purpose of weight loss, but rather to a lifestyle habit.  The nutrition plan you adopt should be one that provides adequate nutrients to the body and is sustainable even after your weight loss goals have been met.  Speak to your Tyler, Texas doctor or dietary specialist for expert help on finding the right balance of fats, carbs, proteins, and calories.

Plenty of information is also available on the internet, but you must be careful of sites promising unrealistic results.  Doctors recommend a rate of weight loss of no more than 2 pounds a week for health.  It is easy to lose water weight for a week or two, making a diet initially seem like it is working, but once the water weight is off the body enters starvation mode and holds on to fat even more.

Of course, a healthy diet will aid in weight loss, but to achieve tone you must also exercise.  Start out by simply walking every day and build up from there.

Look into a group exercise class as a fast effective way of losing weight: Visit the Tony Cruz XTC Fitness & Sports location: Map XTC Website Weight loss Blog
