Weight Loss Exercise
By Akanett Web Publishing
A lot of us live our lives like penned animals. Built to move, too often we put ourselves in a cage. We have bodies designed for racing across the savannas, but we live a lifestyle designed for migrating from the bed to the breakfast table; to the car seat; to the office chair; to the restaurant booth; to the living room couch and back to the bed.
It was not always this way. Not long ago in the United States, a man who worked on a farm did the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging every day; and his wife did the equivalent of 7 miles of jogging.
Today, our daily obligations of work and home keep us tied to our chairs, and if we want exercise, we have to seek it out.
In fact, health experts insist that obesity problem is probably caused at least as much by lack of physical activity as by eating too much. Hence, it is important that people need to move around.
However, that does not mean that a lap or two around the old high school track will offset a daily dose of donuts. Exercise alone is not very efficient, experts say. They contend that if you just exercise and do not change your diet, you may be able to prevent weight gain or even lose a few pounds for a while.
Nevertheless, it is not something that you are likely to sustain unless exercise is part of an overall program. The more regularly you exercise, the easier it is to maintain your weight. Here is what to do every day to make sure that you get the exercise you need.
1. Get quality Zzzs.
Make sure that you get adequate sleep. Good sleep habits are conducive to exercise, experts point out. If you feel worn out during the day, you are less likely to get much physical activity during the day.
In addition, there is evidence that people who are tired tend to eat more, using food as a substance for the rest they need.
2. Walk the walk.
It is probably the easiest exercise program of all. In fact, it may be all you ever have to do, according to some professional advices of some health experts.
Gradually build up to at least 30 minutes of brisk walking five times a week. Brisk walks themselves have health and psychological benefits that are well worth the while.
3. Walk the treadmill.
When the weather is bad, you might not feel like going outdoors. But if you have a treadmill in the television room, you can catch up on your favorite shows while you are doing your daily good turn for your weight-maintenance plan.
Most of us watch television anyway, and indoor exercise equipment enables anyone to turn a sedentary activity into a healthy walk.
4. Seize the time.
Excuses aside, lack of time is certainly a limiting factor in most lifestyles. That is why health experts suggest a basic guideline for incorporating exercise into your schedule.
Get as much exercise as you can that feels good without letting it interfere with your work or family life. If you need to, remind yourself that you are preventing many health problems when you prevent weight gain; and keeping your health is a gift to your family as well as yourself.

Hot Fitness Tip of the Week
If you eat a low-fat diet in the hope of losing weight, you unintentionally make the problem of weightloss worse. If, like millions of women, you have eaten a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet for many years, or followed fad diets, the odds are good that you have become at least partially insulin resistant. Millions of women are trying the Atkins Diet or the South Beach Diet. While these diets are an improvement over the conventional low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet, they can worsen your metabolic problems, because dieting itself is stressful to the body. So many women need to heal their metabolism first before even considering weight loss.
Words of Inspiration
Visualize to Realize: You can't hit a target you cannot see! Create a visual picture of where you want to be, who you want to be, and you will become that person. How do you stay motivated? How do you keep on the right path? You must see it before you can be it! Create your very own visual picture. Make a collage of your goals, dreams, wishes and fantasies. Your mind does not know the difference between what is real or imagined. What you think about most you move towards. There is an invisible gravitational force that directs you towards your thoughts. Your mind thinks in pictures; begin now to plant the visual images you wish to saturate your mind. Mary Lou Rhetton saw herself winning her first gold medal long before she actually competed in the Olympics. Your mind's eye is much more powerful than your physical eye's. See your goals in vivid detail -- meditate on them. Running, jumping, singing, playing, moving with less fat on your body. You are graceful, strong, powerful, energetic. You eat only healthy fuel. The more specific your goals are the easier it is to visualize the process of attaining the goal and the stronger your belief will be in being able to accomplish the goal. Strong belief is the catalyst to appropriate action. Belief strengthens your motivation and motivation stirs you to take the next important step....ACTION!

Article of the Week: Yoga and Cholesterol Management
Yoga and Cholesterol Management: Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found among lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and cells. Cholesterol isn't all bad. Our bodies use it to form cell membranes, for example. But too much cholesterol in the bloodstream can be unhealthy, and lead to coronary heart disease. Yoga, uses exercises (asanas) to relax and tone the muscles and to massage the organs, breathing techniques (pranayam) to regulate the body's energy levels, meditations to calm the mind, and relaxation postures to reduce and eliminate stress and anxiety. The practice of yoga improves the blood and oxygen flow around the body which aids in the removal of toxins and waste. For yoga to be truly beneficial to the lowering of your unwanted bad cholesterol it must be practiced on a regular basis. Yoga also reduces stress hormones, which in turn lowers cholesterol. That is why meditation is similar to yoga in its cholesterol-lowering power. Yoga will surely help you get rid of the cholesterol and you will be highly satisfied when after two months you go to check the level and find them impressively low. To bring down the ill effects of stress and its byproducts, a daily regime of meditation practices involving simple breathing techniques, and the use of deep meditative techniques practiced for at least 20 - 30 minutes daily can greatly bring about a feeling of good health and a significant lowering of cholesterol. Breathing exercises, meditation and poses namely the Kapalbhati Pranayama is the perfect combination for lowering cholesterol.
