Obesity is now considered an epidemic in the health community.  In fact, obesity will soon become one of the leading causes of death in the United States, from cigarette smoking.  Obesity increases the risk of two types of diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke and even cancer.  In addition to all these health risks, weight loss is one of the best things you can do for yourself.

 Honestly, we all want to lose weight but can't succeed.  But why?  There may be only one reason, we just want to do it from the heart, but we can't follow the path that needs to be taken to make it a reality.  Let's bet on changing ourselves for a better future.

 We don't want to believe that there is no magic solution to weight loss.  It's very simple.  So, in order to lose weight, you need to reduce the number of calories you eat as well as increase the amount you burn.

 There are a variety of options to choose from when searching for weight loss programs.  It takes a lot of time to figure out what to eat, how much and even at what time or in what combination.  But a few of them emphasize the importance of exercise - not just for weight loss, but for your general health and well-being.  It is important to practice when trying to lose weight for a variety of reasons:

 First, your metabolism will slow down a bit as you start eating less.  Exercise helps bring your metabolism back to an efficient level as ec second, as mentioned, exercise burns more calories so you can lose weight faster and be motivated in your efforts h third, exercise actually releases endorphins, improves your mood  Such chemicals.

 Exercise does not mean spending hours in the gym or straining with tedious workouts.  In fact, to stick with it for a long time, practicing should be something you enjoy.  Start by increasing the level of your activity in an overall way.  You can take the stairs when you can.  Park more from the mall door when you go shopping.  Walk in or around the park of your choice and bring a dog or friend with you.  Take dance or martial arts lessons.

 Once you become more active in general, you will find it easier and more natural to go into regular practice.  To get regular, noticeable health benefits is all you need to do in the end.  Your heart rate should be raised to a fat burning level and kept there for at least 20 minutes, 3 times or more a week.  However, if you do not want to go to a gym, there are other options.  Videos and DVDs are now available for all types of practice.  You can change your routine whenever you want so that you don't get bored with what you are doing.  Try aerobic, kickboxing, yoga, or whatever activity you want in the comfort of your own home.

 If you have physical limitations that keep you from exercising, you can still find ways to increase your activity level.  Water ventilation is a great option for those who have joint problems or limited mobility because it relieves the pressure on your body that provides your weight.  But you still have the resistance to challenge your muscles from the water.  There are even classes and videos that allow you to practice in the seating area.

 No matter what type of exercise you choose, it’s important to stay motivated and have fun.  Try to get together to turn a group into a social event.  Or get a pedometer, a device that measures how far you walk and see how many miles you can walk a week.  Create a competition between your friends or family members and use something special (not related to food!) With the winner.
