Benefits of exercise- Beyond weight loss

Exercise and weight loss has always been weighed together where the real aim for us is using exercise as a tool for weight loss.

Since ages dieting has been followed to create calorie deficit which is thought to be creating some reduction in body weight. Calorie deficit if combined with calorie burning has a tremendous effect on faster weight reduction. Numerous studies have shown  the role of combining exercises and good diet for effective weight loss.

There are studies to show that an intermittent fasting plan in a diet is way more effective than a long term strict diet routine alone. Whenever the body is challenged consistently it soon adapts to the routine and becomes less effective. Variation is the key to success as your body gives results when you challenge your metabolism (the rate of burning fuel by the body) and not allowing it to adapt with your routine. 

Similarly, when exercise is done uniformly your body soon adjust to the activities you do. And soon the weight loss becomes less effective. When you keep the body under challenge by variating your exercise routine from high to low and high again, the large metabolic changes occur. This variation makes the weight loss more effective and faster. This also makes your cardiovascular system work harder giving you benefits beyond just the weight loss. The most effective variation plan in exercise is HIIT (High intensity interval training) where your body performs high level of activity followed by short rest period and it goes on in a circuit create good strength and effective calorie burning.

Although I do not support HIIT until you do not improve your basic body strength. Human body is very intelligent as it can make you work without realizing the faults and it is too late by the time you experience something is wrong. It is good to identify your weakness and work on it to get a better balanced strength everywhere before you switch to HIIT. You need to get FIT before start HIIT.

Exercise should not just be a tool for weight loss as it has got numerous benefits. The aim behind losing the extra weight should be more than cosmetic appearance. Your extra weight is anyways a sign of bad lifestyle and poor health. Do you know why the weight which you lost with so much effort has a tendency to come back after some time? The reason is you never made permanent change in your lifestyle and eating habits. 

"The change which you want by doing something temporarily will work only temporarily".

In order to achieve good health, the change has to come in whole of you. You should be aware of the benefits coming from exercise and healthy life style. The real benefits of exercises are to control, cure and prevent lifestyle diseases and we have ample of evidence in researches for them.
