Just a mild exercise as a 20-minutes walk will benefit if you meet most weekdays. Keep in mind that whenever you exercise more than usual will be burning fat.

A variety of ways to increase the activity you do. Playing a sport, go to aerobics classes, running, walking, swimming or cycling. All enhance your fitness. You just have to find an activity that you find it accessible. Thus it is more likely that you include in your routine.

Years ago those promotes aerobic sports such as jogging and cycling to burn calories and lose weight. No doubt that with an hour of moderate intensity aerobic exercise burns 300 calories and, if sufficiently severe, maintains a high level of metabolism for several hours after activity.But unfortunately, this effect of exercise burns calories! Is short-lived because, in general, with aerobic activity does not develop muscle fiber.

Furthermore, the combination of excessive exercise with a low calorie diet can result in a loss of muscle tissue, which extends to the individual who is on a diet, it can end up thinner, but also more flaccid.

Some studies suggest that strength training can burn more calories after exercise and during more hours than with aerobic exercise. Increased muscle mass is one of the main contributors.

In a study of men and women, it was noted that in making a program of intense strength training for 60 minutes, with sets of 10 to 12 repetitions with minimal rest for 15 hours after exercise, the MBR was up about 9 %.

Although some women become stronger by making a hypertrophy program, most of them do not experience excessive muscular development, since they have very low levels of testosterone. However, it is noteworthy that it is better to gain a little muscle mass to increase the amount of fat, while having the same body weight (weighing).
