Most of us believe that the reason we need to increase our daily exercise is to prevent or counteract being overweight and to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. While it is true that increasing our exercise significantly lowers the risk of heart disease and can help us to lose weight or prevent us from gaining weight, there are also a number of other issues that are directly proportionate to a lack of sufficient exercise.
First of all, muscle tone. We whine and complain about the fact that our bodies are getting flabby and out of shape as we age. Even if you are at an ideal weight you still have pockets of skin flapping in the wind. Much of this could be avoided if you were to exercise those muscle groups and increase the flow of blood to those areas. Skin is tightened not only because you are firming those…

Depending on what you are hoping to accomplish, the number of hours per week you should exercise will vary greatly. For instance, if you are a pro athlete who is trying to stay in shape to extend your game, then you could be spending anywhere from two to four or more hours a day working out. That would mean at least 14 hours a week and maybe even 28 or more hours. But for the rest of us, a general rule of thumb is about 30 minutes per day which would translate to about 3.5 hours weekly.
Unfortunately, there are exceptions to every rule and it isn’t always that cut and dry. If the average person who just wants to maintain a healthy body and perhaps promote cardiovascular health intends to exercise, that 3.5 hours might be sufficient. However, if you are on a weight loss regimen that would entail burning…

We are constantly being told that if we want to burn calories quickly and more efficiently we need to increase our exercise. However, sometimes it isn’t clear exactly how exercising affects the metabolic rate at which calories are burned. We know that it takes calories to produce energy to do the exercising, but how exactly does that affect metabolism?
Actually, there are two ways in which exercising benefits metabolism. The first is the amount of calories it takes to actually produce the energy to do whatever exercise we happen to be performing. For instance, a brisk walk could burn between 300 to 500 calories per hour depending on the speed and difficulty of the terrain. In effect, your metabolic rate is increased proportionate to the amount of calories needed to perform a given exercise while you are exercising.
The second way in which exercise benefits metabolism is in the fact that…
