Information Source - Quick and Easy Weight Loss


The answer is in Pulse Management or Heart rate monitoring.



Quick and Easy Weight Loss is almost a contradiction in terms, losing excess body fat is neither quick nor easy. All the experts tell us that regular physical activity and healthful eating is the only solution.

Quick weight loss isn't really good because if we lose weight too fast; the more likely we are to regain it. The main goal should be to lose body fat, not muscle or fluid weight, which can be the effects of fast weight loss.

The best way to lose body fat is to reduce the number of "empty calories" from our diet. Empty calories can be found in soft drinks and snacks such as crisps, cakes, biscuits, chocolates etc. Another important feature is to increase physical activity. Do something we enjoy for at least 30 minutes per day. That excludes eating crisps, cakes, biscuits, chocolates etc for 30 minutes!

Exercise keeps both mind and body fit. By exercising on a regular basis our body will become more efficient at burning those dreaded calories. So, the question is; in a real world what are the most effective types of exercise for losing weight?

We need to increase our heart rate between 65-80% of the suggested maximum heart rate for our age group. It isn't as complicated as it might sound; subtract your age from 220! And keep your pulse at that rate for at least 15-20 minutes continuously. The ideal exercises are called 'aerobic', or 'oxygen-using' exercises.

Don't rush out and buy a pair of trainers and then jog for a couple of miles, leave them back there for a while. Your current fitness level is an important factor followed by how hard you work at it. There are many 'exercises' that are aerobic in nature, something as simple as vacuuming will do the job as long as your heart rate stays in that 65-80% range continuously for 15-20 minutes. The same applies to walking and dancing, so we don't need to go jogging or cycling. The answer is in pulse management.

Let's say you are thirty years old, your maximum heart rate is 190, and you should aim for a heart rate of 123 to 152 whilst exercising. Go for the lower end of the scale when just beginning a regime especially if you are not in good shape or you are recovering from illness. There can be a degree of difficulty in taking your pulse during exercise because you will be moving and trying to concentrate on placing a finger on your wrist. The next trick is to find the correct number of seconds you need to wait to determine the average pulse per minute.

Fitness guru Covert Bailey recommends 6 seconds whilst other authorities suggest 10 or 5 even seconds, then multiply that figure by the correct amount (10, 6 or 4) to determine your average pulse per minute.

Hang in there, just as it was getting clearer, there is another issue, Let's say your normal resting heart rate isn't somewhere around 70-80 beats per
Minute. This is the "maximum safe heart rate", and then the formula above may not be at all accurate. There has to be a better method of pulse management?

You could try the talk test! The good thing is, you don't have to stop and find your pulse then do some calculations, and you just look completely mad! Here's what to do, whilst exercising speak out loud, if you have enough breath in you to speak easily and without gasping for air … but not quite enough to burst into song, then you have it right.
