Fitness As a Tool for Weight Loss

"Fitness does us good in proportion to the pleasure we get out of it," is an old saying worth remembering.

Healthy exercise may be pleasurable, but it is not always recognized as such. Bad habits have been ingrained to make every wholesome innovation seem full of effort and labor. Consequently we cannot always judge the value of any newly applied form of training solely by the test of it's pleasurability.

We are a product of what our parents and teachers made us; they sadly often make a mess of the job. Fortunately, if an exercise is in harmony with our inborn nature and needs, we soon get to enjoy it.

Today's sedentary lifestyle means that hobbies and sports are essential supplements to our daily lives. Whether they be Gardening, cycling, carpentry, tennis, golf, horse riding, swimming, athletics, or road running.

It is important to choose the kind of activity you enjoy because as they say "Whatever floats your boat."

Cycling is my main exercise but I only cycle to get from one place to another and as I live about 5 kilometers from the nearest town I bike 10k every day. Cycling certainly would not be my chosen sport. Athletics is. The point is that you choose something you enjoy doing.

Start from where you are as far as fitness goes. I may be considered fit compared to most people my age but when I begin my running campaign I test my fitness to start with by running around a grass paddock several times. I start with five laps around the paddock just to test my state of fitness.

This is after I have not done any jogging for a year or so and I am not as fit as I could be.

One thing to bear in mind is that it takes a while to build up your fitness but much quicker to lose it once you stop exercising.

It takes weeks for you to reach your optimum level of fitness but if you have not played much sport you may be unsure of what is your peak. The only way to find out is to just get out there and compete in sport but that does not necessarily mean competing against others but rather yourself.

It is important not to overdo the running at first but to set yourself small tasks at first then increase the distance and the intensity as your fitness level increases. There are a number of running books available which can point you in the right direction. Some of the training routines in these books can seem daunting at first so it is a good idea to scale it down according to your level of fitness and ability.

That is setting personal best times.

It gives one great satisfaction to achieve personal best times in various events. Even if you have done some athletics previously and you have reached an age where you are never going to achieve times you did when you were younger you can set new personal best times for your age category.

Another advantage of exercise is that it helps to make new friends. The training sessions with other athletes will widen your social circles. This will encourage you in your goal to live a more fitness orientated life.

Living an active life has several benefits.

1 It helps to control your weight

2 It improves one's sense of well-being

3 It builds relationships

Living a more active life will have many health benefits so developing your own plan to increase your fitness is a no brainer. It is just a matter of getting out of your comfort zone and having a go.

4 Quick & Easy Tips to Burn More Belly Fat

 1) Drink Water After Each Meal, (but not during)

When you drink water with meals, you dilute the hydrochloric acid that lines your stomach, which leads to improper digestion (or indigestion).

Proper digestion is essential for your body to extract the vitamins and nutrients out of the food you eat.

If you can't digest it, you can't use it. Where does that leave it?

If you are used to sipping on water with your meals and think that skipping water sounds incredibly hard, but as you'll see it's anything but.

I used to think that too but it's actually quite easy. Just decide to not have any water with the meal. Most fruits/veggies and carbohydrate foods contain plenty of water, and your body easily absorbs the water found in food.

When you eat, don't have any water even close to you. Rather, leave it in the fridge.

A great big bonus is that a glass of ice-cold water tastes amazing after a meal.

Be sure to wait at least 30-45 minutes before drinking water rafter eating as you want to allow some time for digestion. Drinking water too soon after eating will cause a dilution of hydrochloric acid that interferes with proper nutrient digestion.

2) Exercise Before Eating a Cheat Meal

The #1 single time of day that you can get away with eating the most and the worst food is after a workout.

That's because high sugar and high carbohydrate meals cause an insulin spike, which any other time during the day can lead to fat gain, but after a workout the insulin spike can accelerate to muscle recovery and will not have a negative impact on your waistline (belly fat storage).

It's best to get a full workout in at the gym, and then go home and eat a cheat meal an hour later.

If going to the gym is not in the cards for you, then you can drop and do 50 or so pushups, 40 body squats, pull-ups, chin-ups, or triceps wall extensions. Finish your workout by doing at least 30 minutes of jogging outside or 15-20 short burst hill-sprints.

3) Read Food Labels

Avoid any foods with the words: soy, hydrogenated, vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, extract, gluten, preservative, aspartame, and Mono-Sodium Glutamate (this will probably hide under "natural flavoring" or Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein).

In fact, you should strive to avoid anything with more than 4 or 5 ingredients. Say no to Frankenfoods whose ingredients list reads like a book.

You should always avoid packaged processed foods although sometimes you want some salsa or some soup or something. Check the labels for the best choice. As a fun game, next time you go to the grocery store just try and find 4 items without those nasty ingredients!

You may be amazed at what you've been eating this whole time.

4) Eat High Carb/Low-Fat or High Fat/Low Carb

To limit belly fat accumulation you should either limit fat consumption or carb consumption. That means if one day you want to eat more carbohydrates, then just simply reduce your fat intake.

If you're eating high fat that day lower your carb intake. It doesn't have to be down to zero, just lower it.
