In 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.

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.
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.
Unless you were incredibly genetically blessed, you have probably experienced the dreaded plateau phase while trying to lose weight in Tyler, Texas. When you first start out, you steadily lose weight but after a few weeks for some reason it seems your routine isn’t working any more. This is because over a period of time the body will adjust to changes and what once worked does not work anymore.
So how do you prevent plateau? Keep your routine varied. You cannot do the same work-out in the same order for any period of time and keep getting results. Use the principals of muscle confusion so that your body doesn’t get used to any one thing. Work the same muscle groups in different ways to keep your body wondering what is coming next.
A good rule of thumb is to totally change your routine every 4 weeks. You may have 2 or 3 different routines to alternate throughout the year so that you do not constantly have to come up with new moves. As long as it has been a while since your muscles experienced a specific move, repeating routines will be fine. Some may even like to change out routines every week to keep things interesting and the body well confused.
Replacing fat with muscle may not make the scales move as drastically as you would like since muscle weighs more than fat, but the true results are in the way you look and feel.
