How come exercise isn’t a four letter word??? Most of us hate to exercise but we know it is an important factor if you want to lose weight. Working out stimulates the growth of metabolic tissues, meaning that it increases your metabolism. Losing weight with exercise means you will burn more fat. The number on the scale may not seem as impressive at first, but that’s because muscle weighs more than fat and it takes up less space than fat does so you look smaller and your clothes fit better. You don’t have to join a gym if this isn’t something you like. The key is to find something that fits into your lifestyle. Walk with a friend, join a bowling league or volleyball team. Get some DVD’s and exercise in the comfort and privacy of your own home. Walk up and down the stairs. Do sit ups in front of the TV. Get some dumbells and work out while watching TV. Where there is a will there is a way. The key is to find something you can maintain, and just get started.
