Because your body is genetically programmed to move, not getting enough physical activity carries a heavy price tag in terms of health, energy, emotional balance and looks. And if you have avoided physical activity as much as possible for many years, the good news is it’s never too late to reap its benefits. A study carried out at Yale University showed quite clearly what the age-reversing and beneficial effects of taking up regular physical activity can be, even for people in their seventies who have been almost completely sedentary. A group of men and women began an aerobics programme consisting of 40 to 60 minutes of mini-trampolining each week. The control group did only a gentle programme of stretching and yoga. Four months later, the researchers found that the aerobic group showed significant improvements in glucose tolerance, while the control group showed no such changes.
What kind of exercise do you need for permanent weight control? Not the kind that goes all out to burn as many calories as possible. Far from it. That only depletes your energy, slows fat burning and can leave you feeling exhausted and looking haggard. Exercise for fat loss needs to be slow, sustained and regular and it needs to do three things: boost your metabolism, increase your supply of oxygen to the mitochondria of muscle cells for fat burning, and shift your LBM-to-fat ratio in favour of muscle. For this you need two kinds of exercise - aerobic such as brisk walking, to stimulate oxygen supply; and strength training or resistance work. Together they will help your natural form emerge, burn fat and keep it off forever.
