Between weight loss and exercise there is a connection. In addition, exercise helps us maintain our health and lose weight without starving us.

Exercise often fall into two broad categories: aerobics (also called ”cardiovascularexercise”), which accelerates your breathing and heart rate and resistance exercises using physical force to tone the muscles. Exercise and good nutrition are key to getting rid of extra pounds, but weight loss should be the happy result of the exercise program you follow.

If we want to do a particular sport, it is important to have a proper diet because it helps increase the effects of exercise. If you perform tasks that require great physical strength (running, swimming, cycling), are recommended foods such as bananas, whole grains and avocados.

Nutritionists recommend about 30 minutes before running, eating food that can provide energy (eg, bars with nuts). It is indicated green tea because it contains antioxidants and caffeine, which provides adequate energy. While running you can consume half a liter of water. After about an hour after finishing running, consume products rich in vitamins. Green salad and a glass of carrot juice or orange is a reliable source for getting vitamins and minerals you need.  If you want to swim, it is recommended that the body is loaded with heavy dishes . With about 20 minutes before swimming toindicate a light snack: a cup of tea or coffee, a banana or mango. Eat one hour after the conclusion of this activity. If you practice a team sport (likefootball), indicate a diet rich in carbohydrates, necessary to maintain cardiovascular strength, but also to increase muscle protein.

The recommended weight loss programs include a balanced diet based on natural foods and a proper exercise of each activity daily. For best results obtained in a relatively short time, is essential to use a personal trainer with experience. Fitness experts reported that the alternation of intense exercise with a recovery within minutes is among the best ways to lose weight. Extra pounds disappear because of these cardio that requires maximum effort that your body is capable of.  Many women have a routine that does not deviate from, despite fatigue or lack of enthusiasm. Not a night passes without the 200 crunches and 50 exercises for buttocks and thighs to be made. While they find that it is becoming easier to perform exercises that a month afte rcursing them. Some think this is a good sign … and are far from the truth. Familiar with the routine, the body becomes immune to attempts at modeling that it ceases to obey and defend the results. Not get off even one kilogram and in addition,comply  to a daily exercise program dull. Coaches recommend alternating exercise in any way or change them entirely.

Want to lose more in a short time, especially when you’re pressed for an event that is fast approaching? How to do this without pass beyond that you put your health at risk?

Start with cardio exercises

The latest studies show that the  exercise should begin with the cardio. The researchers examined four ways to make sport: just run, just endurance sports, running, followed by resistance and vice versa. They found that two hours after exercise, those who ran and then did strength exercises will still burn calories.

Do intense exercise

If you want to lose quickly some kg is time to increase training intensity. You can inclined treadmill or adjust your static bicycle  so you get over the area where you feel comfortable. Though unpleasant, the benefits are great.

Use your whole body

Most cardio exercise , channel on the underside of the body (cycling, running, climbing stairs), but if you want to burn more calories is essential to include the top. Use your hands constantly while running and do complex movements that require them as much. As many muscles you move, the more you will lose weight faster.

Usually, when you sleep your body burns about 60 calories, when you are awake, the amount burned goes to about 80 calories. Just for doing nothing, just because the body needs heat, to keep the temperature at 37 degrees celsius. When you walk, for example, you burn 120-150 calories, that means that your muscles are burning only 40-70 calories, the rest are for sitting down.

If the exercise you do is more complex, more calories you lose. The most intense activity should burn the most number of calories. But an intense exercise means that you can’t do it all the time, so the breaks doesn’t count. Let’s take sprints example, it is very very intense but how long you can sprint ? 10 seconds, and then 2 minutes break ?

People researched this and found out that the best calorie burning exercise should use many muscles in the same time and to be at an intensity level that can be sustained for about 30-60 min. Few decades ago they invented the aerobic training: while the legs are used to jump the hands are shaking in the air. To prevent getting tired, the exercise is changed every few minutes, so other muscles will take the action.

They also reveled that the best environment to burn weight is when the heart beat is between 100 and 140 beats per minute, this is exactly where the aerobic training stands. For sprint, it should go over 180 and sometimes reach over 200.

The running is an alternative to aerobic, the pulse is all right, you can keep it for hours, but when running the same muscles are used all the time which can be a pain sometimes.
