For those who have been sedentary for an extended period, a scheduled routine of walking or riding a bike is a good place to start!
If you simply can’t stand exercising, hopefully, you have a
passion for some sort of physical sport.
Structure and consistency related to such forms of exercise are
required. Engaging in such activities a minimum
of two or three times per week would be a good starting point.
Playing tennis, racquetball, volleyball, basketball, or any similar
activity that becomes part of a regular routine will serve to get the job done.
Building and toning muscle tissue during the fat loss process have many benefits.
Exercising burns calories. It also builds strength and improves the aesthetic appearance of our bodies.
Although lean muscle mass is denser and heavier than fat
tissue, the more muscle mass we carry relative to fat, the better our bodies
burn fuel.
Initially, you may gain a slight amount of muscle weight
while at the same time losing body fat. Gaining muscle and losing fat is the ideal
combination!
It is also the reason why the mirror and photographs are far
better measures of progress vs. relying on what the scale says.
Resistance Training
Depending on your level of experience and/or access to
equipment, we can go about initiating your resistance-training program in several
ways.
If you do not have access to any exercise equipment, we can
design your program using simple floor exercises and your own body weight.
If you have any home gym equipment at your disposal we’ll
take an inventory of it and design a program using what you have available.
If you have
access to a gym, we’ll determine what equipment is available and build your
program accordingly.
Though one
can accomplish a lot by diet alone, neglecting to exercise will put you at a great
disadvantage insofar as achieving your goals.
Cardio
Cardio is not only beneficial for heart health, but it also can build endurance and stamina.
Moreover, like any physical activity, Cardio burns calories!
We can approach cardio in several ways depending on your
goals and preferences. There are two
types of cardio. Steady-state or
low-intensity cardio or various forms of high-intensity cardio.
High-intensity
cardio strives to build and sustain a targeted heart rate based on your age and
health for a defined period.
High-intensity cardio workouts are most effective at
building endurance, stamina, and improving heart health.
In contrast, steady-state low-intensity cardio is most
effective as a simple fat and calorie burner.
As such, steady-state cardio is not an efficient or
effective means by which to improve heart health or endurance.
Whatever your preferences or goals are, incorporating some form of regular cardio work into your training program is a good idea.
Consistency, Frequency, & Intensity
Of the three attributes, consistency is by far
the most important of them all!
It’s all about showing up and getting the job done – even on days when you’re not quite up for it.
The frequency and intensity incorporated into your training regimen will be a function of your experience, goals, schedule, and personal
preferences.
For
beginners, I am a huge proponent of starting out slow and building up at a pace
that spurs confidence and fosters success.
