Your Heart Will Help Your Weight Loss

May 3, 2009 Filed Under: Aerobics 

There is an old saying that has meaning today as well as it did when it was created. Home is where you heart is. The key to losing weight and having a happier home is your heart.

The ever-resent diet pill has been touted as something that makes weight loss possible without exercise. This is the biggest lie in advertising today. Without exercise, even in the smallest form, there can be no weight loss.

The average amount wanted to lose, in America, is 20 pounds. Having not been successful in keeping the weight off, these are the people who have tried working out and dieting. Those 20 pounds will be gone for good with exercise, eating right and a little self-control.

That average 20 pounds will not be lost with just eating right and moving around a bit more than usual. Increases in adrenaline and muscle movement and growth with cardio and aerobic exercises increase blood flow and oxygen flow. To lose weight, these are the only true things that will help.

Performed with the heightening of the heart rate in mind, cardio exercises work the heart. The ideal heart rate, 220 minus the age times 75% is found for optimal weight loss. A 40-year-old person would have an ideal workout heart rate of 135.

While exercising it is difficult to check your heart rate. Multiplying the number you find by holding your wrist above your thumb and counting the beats for fifteen minutes by 4 is your heart rate. An easier way to do this is by buying a small device to do the counting for you.

There is another way to determine if you workout is right for you. If you can hold a conversation with a companion and you are not sweating, then you need to speed up the pace of your work out. If you cannot hold a conversation at all, then you need to tone down your work out.

Aerobic exercises are different from cardio exercises in the mere fact that as long as you are working up a sweat of some kind, then you are working your heart. Gardening as well as cycling are some examples of aerobic exercises. The key is to be sweating by the time you finish whatever form of exercise you had chosen.

It is recommended that you work out using aerobic ideals for 10-20 minutes a day. If your goals are to lose more weight than just to trim down, a good work out, or exercise time, of 30-40 minutes a day is recommended. It is not necessary to workout everyday for hours on end to reach your results.

With aerobic exercises, a person can lose that average 20 pounds quickly depending upon the amount of time spent exercising. It is wise to allow yourself, if you have not been active in the last couple of years, at least a year to lose that weight. Also, if there exists heart problems or another physical problem that may be effected by exercise, it is wise to take it easy at first.

A medical professional should be consulted before starting any new programs like exercise. Your medical professional will know exactly the amount of exercise that is good for you. This professional will also be able to give you a list, both cardio and aerobic, of exercises that will be most beneficial to your health.
