Depending on what you do for a living, or possibly a physically active social life, can determine your weight. People with jobs that require lots of energy will tend to have a much better chance at maintaining a healthy weight. They are burning calories every working day. Pass by a busy construction site and you will have a hard time finding a fat person, unless he's the boss or equipment operator. Hard work makes your body demand fuel (food), so large lunches are the norm. Problem is, on the job site you usually don't have the luxury of eating small portions throughout the day like you should. It's not easy to start a new exercise program and stick to it. There just doesn't seem to be enough time to squeeze in a consistant exercise program for a lot of people. But, activity routines that exert energy will burn fat. Doing something you get some joy or fun out of is the key to a successful exercise program. Not only can you lower your blood pressure and add years to your life, studies have shown that all you need is a half hour a day to benefit from some physical activity. Studies have shown that walking 30 min., 3 days a week, can not only lower your blood pressure , but also reduce waiste and hip size. Studies were also conducted at the Mayo Clinic in 2005, by James Levine, M.D., and it was concluded that there are links between obesity and inactivity. Your NEAT (non-exercise activity termogenesis) is more powerful than customary exercise. 30 minutes a day of Fun physical activity is all you need to reap the benefits. Obese persons, sit on average,150 minutes more each day than their lean counterparts, burning up to 350 fewer calories than lean people. Dr. Levine's study also went on to determine that people complaining of low metabolism, were suffering from low NEAT, which means they have a biological need to sit more. "A person can expend calories either by going to the gym, or through everyday activities. We can encourage NEAT seeking behaviors." By all means begin to make these activity routines a part of your everyday life from now on. These, combined with a healthy diet will get you on the road to looking,feeling, and being healthy. Dr. Levine also went on to say the NEAT doesn't reflect a lack of motivation, but rather a brain chemical difference. Before you begin your activity routines, start by stretching. When you do your stretching be sure and hold it for about 20 seconds, so you completly stretch the muscle. Also be sure you don't stretch cold stiff muscles, so make sure your body is loose, with some light activity first, or do some warmups.
