ExerciseExercise is one of the factors that help’s to maintain proper energy balance, by increasing the “energy out”. Energy is measured in calories.
And calories can be spent by a lot of activities.
When you exercise you build your muscle and when you build more muscle, even when you are at rest - you spend more energy.
To support the extra muscle our body needs to be in good shape and well toned. Besides maintaining a healthy weight the other benefits of exercise are – decreased risk of cardio-vascular disease, colon cancer, diabetes mellitus, depression, falling in elderly people and osteoporosis and osteoarthritis and lower death rate. As per your individual needs, plan out an exercise program either with your personal trainer or doctor.
Physical activity should become a part of your lifestyle.
Give up driving and prefer walk or bike; prefer stairs than elevator.
Even the smallest efforts, to boast activity level will be rewarded to the body. A lifestyle of weight control/ prevention from health problems can be obtained by increasing physical activity level.
