Choose exercise that you enjoy. Whether it’s walking the dog or playing tennis with friends, you’re more likely to do it regularly if it’s something you enjoy.
Why should I try a new exercise?
Variety is the spice of life, isn’t it? Well, it’s the same with exercise. Often, people get comfortable with their
exercise pattern – doing the same thing week in, week out. This has some advantages because you know
what you are doing and are less likely to over-work yourself, however, there are important benefits to trying
new things. Doing a new exercise will mean your body has to work harder and in a different way.
This challenge means you’ll use up more energy or calories for the same amount of time spent. Think about the
first time you tried an activity – let’s say a walk in your local area. Do you remember feeling tired and a bit sore
the next day? Does this continue? No, you very quickly get used to this level and it is no longer a challenge.
To maximise the benefit of exercise, it is important to continue to be challenged so you keep getting fitter.
Also, a new exercise will provide you with variety, stop you getting bored with your program and ultimately
keep you exercising for longer.
Even doing the same exercise in a different way has benefits to health and weight loss. If you can, change
the intensity, how long you exercise for and even the order of your exercises or the route that you walk,
run or cycle.
Why is resistance training so important for weight loss?
Resistance training or weight-bearing exercise improves the amount of muscle we have. If we increase the
size of a muscle, that muscle uses more energy – even when we are sitting still. Studies are now showing
people are able to lose weight through good nutrition and resistance training.
People often think that resistance training will cause their weight to go up and make them bulky, however,
if you eat well, your weight will ultimately come down.
Resistance training has also been shown to help you lose weight from around your waist. This can be
beneficial for your blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose levels and keep you looking toned.
As a woman, I don’t want to put on lots of muscle. Should I use light weights and do lots of repetitions?
Actually, women are unlikely to put on
lots of muscle even with lots of effort.
The reason is that they don’t have
enough testosterone (a hormone)
in their bodies. If you want to look
toned, you may start with light weight
exercises but will need to build up the
intensity.
If I do lots of sit ups, will my tummy get smaller?
Unfortunately, that’s not how weight loss works. You are not able to pick a part of your body, exercise it
and see a reduction in its size (sometimes called spot reduction). We lose weight from all over our body.
Ironically, it often feels like the last place we lose weight is the place that we want it to go from the most.
