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.

Interruption Marketing and Tyler Mall Kiosks

January 21st, 2011

Simon Mall Tyler TXAt the Tyler Texas Simon mall you have likely been asked if you wanted your hair straightened no matter whether you were a guy, a girl, your hair was already straight, and any number of other reasons.

This is interruption marketing at its best depending on the perspective. You may have been an old grandfather going to the GNC store to buy some prune juice pills but a nice young girl with a foreign accent got your attention and asked if you want your hair straightened or a finger nail manicure.

The grandfather may have just come off an assisted living bus that dropped off him and several other elderly people off and next to prune juice pills a manicure and conversation with a pretty talkative young girl sounds great!

So when walking through the mall in Tyler Texas and you get asked for a manicure even though you are a 34 – 84 year old guy think about the service to the elderly. You can see a positive in that these kiosk guys and girls provide a level of social interaction for neglected elderly that visit the local Tyler mall sometimes just to stretch their legs.

Weight Loss Management in Tyler, Texas

July 20th, 2010

When it comes to weight loss management there are as many methods as there are fast food choices.  Only a handful of methods, however, will give results that are healthy and long lasting.  While it may seem easier to swallow a few pills every day than to count calories and jump around till you can barely breathe, you will ultimately be disappointed with the results.  Finding a doable weight loss management program is the key to your success.

Usually, a good weight loss management program will start you out by having you assess your current situation and set a reasonable goal.  It will also provide you with a diet plan or at the very least a list of foods that are good for weight loss.  Programs such as Weight Watchers usually have several locations in an area, Tyler, Texas included.  These programs add the element of accountability by requiring you to attend weekly meeting to record your progress and discuss with a group what your experiences have been.

There are also plenty of websites you can access from your Tyler, Texas home for weight loss management.  Many are free for basic membership and provide forums where you can anonymously interact with other like-minded dieters if you are uncomfortable with face to face meetings.  These websites will often provide a calorie tracker that allows you to see exactly how much you have consumed if you are honest inputting your data.  You may also be able to track your activity levels and see how many calories you have burned.
