Exercise Makes All The Difference

3.18.2009

Dieting alone can shed pounds...but you might
also be losing muscle and not just fat. I lost
the first 25 pounds by diet alone and can see
a difference! But I also know that I have not
added one bit of muscle.

Muscle burns fat faster by raising the metabolism.
It certain looks better, that's for sure. So I
joined a gym and have just begun the muscle toning/
building process. I'm totally excited.

I've found that even a little bit of success in
the weight loss helps to motivate me to keep going.
It took way too long to lose the first 25 pounds
by dieting alone. Adding exercise will speed up
the process quite a bit. Plus, weight bearing
exercise builds bone density. I have osteopenia
which is the precursor to osteoporosis. Adding
calcium twice daily with weight bearing exercise
will clear up this problem straight away.

Exercise also helps lower cholesterol levels! And
I really need that, too.

Not everyone can get to a gym. Home exercise can
be every bit as effective. I found a program that
a friend is on and it Rocks! It's called Turbulence
Training
and from what I see, it's pretty amazing!

If going to a gym doesn't fit your schedule or
perhaps you have kids at home and can't get
out as much as you would need to, I urge you
to check out Turbulence Training!
