Look and Feel Years Younger

"What we think or what we know or what we believe is, in the end, of little consequence. The only consequence is what we do" John Ruskin

If you already have a lean figure and want to keep it that way regular exercise and a balanced diet should keep you looking fit and trim!

If you are like the millions of Americans who would like to lose a few pounds - the best way to lose your belly fat or drop a few pounds is with regular vigorous exercise. Eating healthy foods is vital to losing your belly and keeping the weight off. You'll feel years younger and look it too!

Remarkable - even miraculous - claims have been made for a variety of "crash" diets and diet pills. And some of these very restricted diets do result in noticeable weight loss in a short time. Much of this loss is water and such a loss is quickly regained when normal food and liquid intake is resumed. These diet plans are often expensive and may be dangerous.

Most of these Miracle Weight Loss remedies do not emphasize lifestyle changes that will help you maintain your desired weight. Dieting alone will result in a loss of valuable body tissue such as muscle mass in addition to a loss in fat.

In addition to a regular exercise routine, many healthy fitness buffs enjoy sneaking in extra physical activity each day. Simple changes in your habits can yield awesome results! How can you increase the amount of physical activity in your daily routine to supplement your exercise program?

Recreational and social activities like gardening on weekends, bowling in the office league, family outings, an evening of social dancing, and many other activities provide added exercise. They are fun and can be considered an extra bonus in your weight control campaign.

Add more "action" to your day. Walk to the neighborhood grocery store instead of using the car. Park several blocks from the office and walk the rest of the way. Walk up the stairs instead of using the elevator; start with one flight of steps and gradually increase.

Change your attitude toward movement. Instead of considering an extra little walk or trip to the files an annoyance, look upon it as an added fitness boost. Look for opportunities to use your body. Bend, stretch, reach, move, lift and carry. Time-saving devices and gadgets eliminate drudgery and are a bonus to mankind, but when they substitute too often for physical activity they can demand a high cost in health, vigor and fitness.

These little bits of action are cumulative in their effects. Alone, each does not burn a huge amount of calories. But when added together they can result in a sizable amount of energy used over the course of the day. And they will help improve your muscle tone and flexibility at the same time.

The benefits of exercise are numerous - from producing physically fit bodies to providing an outlet for fun! Life is short - why not enjoy it more in a healthy and trim body? You can look and feel years younger when you exercise regularly and keep eating healthy foods!

If you're a little over-weight ( or a lot ) start today! Join the millions healthy folks who've found you can exercise and lose weight fast!
