The Significance Of Combining Nutrition And Workout For Weight Loss

By Andy G Smith


There are a lot of key elements to achieving any weight loss goals. The main 2 are proper diet and relevant exercise. Weight-loss is achieved by eating fewer calories than your body uses and weight gain is achieved by consuming a larger number of calories than your body uses, but what role does physical exercise play?

For weight loss, the main aim of physical exercise is generally assumed to be to burn calories, but are we able to get greater benefits from our exercise?

Sedentary Life-style (=BMR x 120 %) - Normal characteristics include having a desk based job (office worker), driving to work, taking the elevator and not the staircases, and many others.

Lastly, useful fats are rich in essential fatty acids and low in saturated essential fatty acids. A maximum of 10 percent of your total everyday calories needs to be producing from saturated fat.

For weight loss, resistance workouts must be done with repetition ranges of 15 and above, as this will improve the endurance capacity of the muscle. The muscle will once again produce higher numbers of mitochondria to decrease lactic acid production, hence improving the muscles ability to use oxygen.

The third and last factor for consideration relates to formal exercise. During formal exercise there's the potential to expend lots of calories. The exact quantity will depend upon the type of activity, the participant's weight and the intensity. Most cardiovascular machines in a health club will calculate the calories expelled according to a person's weight and the intensity in which they are exercising.

Cardiovascular exercise must be done at a lower intensity, with the target being to increase the body's core temperature and prepare the joints and muscles for exercise, without burning excessive quantities of calories.

Resistance exercises must be performed with repetition ranges between 8 and 12. This is the ideal number of repetitions to promote muscular hypertrophy (muscle growth). In addition, when trying to add mass to your frame, compound exercises will activate larger quantities of muscle fibres, encouraging growth. A compound exercise involves movement at lots of joints, engaging lots of muscle groups.

An individual with weight-loss objectives should try to lose between 0.5 and 1 kg body weight per week. Aiming to shed more could result in a slowing of the rate of metabolism, as the body goes into a state of starvation. Thus, a weekly calorie deficit between 3500 and 7000 kg is needed (net calories = -3500 to -7000). An individual with weight gain targets, aiming to gain between 0.5 and 1 kg bodyweight per week will require a weekly calorie surplus between 3500-7000 (net calories = 3500 to 7000).
