Exercise is crucial to take years off your age and to improve your health.If we do not move around, then our entire body physiology changes for the worse. This is due to the fact that our entire body runs on motion. We are creatures designed to move.Exercise increases weight loss by building muscle thus stimulating your metabolism.

Muscle is the most metabolically active tissue in your body.Increasing the number of active muscle cells improves your ability to burn up that unwanted fat. We are not designed to just sit around being couch potatoes. On average, our ancestors walked 9 miles a day. Their physical fitness was the equivalent to today’s Olympic athletes. They had no choice. It was be fit or die!

We have a different choice now: Be fit or be fat, and die a painful slow death filled with disease.Statistics show that 50% of people in the U.S. have heart attacks. By following a holistic weight loss program, you are able to lose weight naturally and permanently. Exercise is a crucial part of living a “green” lifestyle. When exercising, there should be a variety of activities that you do. Some aerobic, some muscle building, some for fun.Studies have been done where the heart was worked at a variety of intervals. Not just long distance running, not just sprinting, but a combination. Here are three simple strategies to use exercise while working to enhance your metabolism:

• Take a half an hour walk every day.

• Try using the stairs at work instead of taking the elevator.

• Push mow your yard.

• When doing cardio, try running in intervals. Go fast for minute and then slow for two minutes then fast for thirty seconds then slow for one minute and so forth.

Following a holistic weight loss program will not only melt fat away, but your health will improve.
