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.

Tyler, Texas Weight Loss: A Gym can get you there

October 14th, 2010
Tyler Texas Gym

Tyler Texas Gym

Before you go out and join a gym and definitely before you commit to a year long gym membership I recommend creating your own exercise routine at your home and sticking to it for atleast a year. If you can maintain a good exercise routine at your home for a year doing some type of exercise everyday you can justify a commitment to a gym. You see a Tyler Texas gym membership takes even more discipline and commitment than doing exercise conveniently from your own home.

There is an exception to the whole anti-gym membership idea and that is if you utilize a personal trainer at a gym. The good thing is XTC Fitness has several fitness programs where the personal trainer comes free during the class. If you decide to join a gym I recommend doing a class such as the kickboxing class offered by Tony Cruz’s XTC Fitness gym.

The class is designed for girls or guys and is no wussified class as I am a guy and I take a great deal of pride in my own manliness and find nothing simple or easy about kickboxing but do find it astonishing how good I feel each day now and how easily I shed the pounds.

Best Tyler TX Gym

Walking over to a chin up bar that is stationed on your hallway doorway takes about 10 seconds. Driving to a gym takes quite a bit longer and requires that you schedule and prioritize things around your excursion from your home to a gym. Many times exercise from home does not require that you change up your schedule at all. You can simply exercise at home when an available slot opens up.

The gym however can work out quite well if you fit it in during your lunch during a 45 minute work out program designed for working men and women as XTC Fitness in Tyler TX offers.

If my thinking on this sounds new and different to what you had in mind take some time to let it sink in as you will save hundreds of dollars by waiting to see if you can even stick to an exercise routine from the convenience of your home. I personally have yet to be able to commit to a year of exercise at home.

An alternative to a gym membership for those who still want to join a gym even if they have yet to establish a home exercise routine is to enroll in a weight lifting exercise class a TJC. TJC offers an exceptional weight lifting, jogging, and excercise class in one that comes with a free personal trainer aka your teacher. You will be taught into shape over the course of a semester and can continue on from there.

A TJC gym class is perhaps the best bang for your buck and a very good way to motivate yourself back into shape.

When all of this is taken into account, it seems a gym membership amounts to nothing more than a waste of good money.  However, there are good reasons to throw caution to the wind and just take the plunge.  A gym offers a much wider range of quality exercise equipment than most people would have room to store, even if they could afford it.  Many gyms also offer specialized classes where members can sign up to work-out in ways that interest them, keeping exercise fun and less boring.

Additionally, when you spend your hard earned money on a gym membership the motivation is there to get your money’s worth.  You will be more likely to make the time to work out when you have invested money into it.  As for the embarrassment factor, there’s not much to be done except know that in a few weeks you’ll be showing your stuff with the best of them.

Tyler, Texas Weight Management: Dangerous Diuretics May Dehydrate

July 28th, 2010

Diuretics can offer great relief for the times you truly need them.  Feeling bloated can be quite uncomfortable and if this is the reason you are using diuretics then you should be fine.  Abusing diuretics for the purposes of weight loss, however, is a really bad idea.  Sure, it may work for a day or two, but if you continue using them thinking you’ll keep losing weight you will end up dehydrated and sick.

Diuretics in Tyler, Texas, often called water pills, work by increasing the production and elimination of urine.  They are very effective at getting rid of excess water that the body may be retaining.  Most people will see a difference on the scales when using diuretics.  However, keep in mind that the pounds you see here is nothing more than water weight, not fat.  If they are used beyond one or two days, the body will begin to retain more water in an attempt to protect itself against dehydration.

Once the body enters this stage, a vicious cycle begins.  You stop taking the water pills and begin to feel bloated because the body is retaining water.  So you take some more pills to feel better and the body tries even harder to hold on to this precious element.  Eventually dehydration will set in, which could be life threatening.

A much better way to shed water weight is to sweat it out.  You will also receive the benefits that come from exercise for meaningful weight loss.

Calorie Confusion For Weight Loss in Tyler, Texas

July 6th, 2010

One of the most effective ways to put your metabolism into high gear and shed the pounds is a recently discovered method called calorie confusion.  Essentially, calorie confusion means varying the amount of calories you take in from day to day.

Your body does not have time to get used to one thing, so your metabolism goes into overdrive.  Using calorie confusion is actually quite simple and effective on its own, but when combined with exercise can give outstanding results.

Each person’s caloric needs in Tyler, Texas will be unique, but for the sake of simplicity we will use a median calorie intake of 2,000.

The same principals will apply with any median calorie requirement though, so do a little research to see what your unique body needs.

For calorie confusion, start the first day by consuming 2,200 calories total.  If you are exercising as well, do your workouts on the days you consume the most calories.

On your off days, or the day after the high calorie intake, only consume 1,800 calories.

However many calories are required on any given day, make sure they come from healthy, well balanced foods.

That’s it! Alternate back and forth every day to keep your body confused.

Because you are not sustaining a low calorie intake, your body does not have time to go into starvation mode.

Because you are not sustaining a high calorie intake, your body does not have time to store fat.  Neat, right?

For a more managed approach using professional doctors and a staff we have seen a company on billboards in Tyler Texas called B Ki.

B Ki is a weight loss clinic in Tyler that uses a controversial strategy that is non-surgical.

Many people have lost quite a bit of weight using this method in short order.
