Slim, Strong and Sexy

By

Slim down, get strong and look sexy with regular exercise. No matter your age, exercise can help you manage your weight, strengthen your muscles and make you look and feel as sexy as ever. Combined with a healthy diet, exercise helps to keep your body fit.

Exercise can help you slim down and maintain your weight. Muscles burn fat. The greater muscle mass your body has, the quicker it burns up calories, even at rest. People who have little fat and more muscle will burn twice or three times the calories of someone with less muscle development.

One of the best benefits of exercise is how it strengthens and energizes the body. With each exercise, you become stronger and can last longer. Strength and stamina increase every time you workout. Even if you don’t notice it right away, each time you work your body, you help it to grow stronger.

A slim, strong body is a sexy body. The confidence that comes from someone who exercises regularly is also quite sexy. People will notice the difference in you when you make exercise a necessary part of your life.

Exercise is a necessary part of your life. It should be treated as an important part of every day when you consider how great an effect it has on your health. As necessary as eating, drinking, sleeping and working, exercise should become a normal function. Start adding it to your calendar as a reminder; it will serve as a visual commitment to keep you focused on your new goal.

If you are struggling to make exercise a habit, there are a few things you can do to implant this new activity into your life. Try one or try all, but be sure to make exercise a priority.

1. Start a fitness journal and write down your exercise goals.
2. Make a written plan, such as a weekly calendar, of your planned exercise activities.
3. Keep a clean exercise outfit ready to go at all times.
4. Find an exercise buddy to keep you motivated.
5. Go for a walk every day and get some fresh air.
6. Take the stairs every chance you get.
7. Park further away when it’s safe.
8. Try to go faster, harder, further.
9. Write down every goal that you accomplish.
10. Wear comfortable shoes.

Slim For Life

By

You can be slim for the rest of your life when you make fitness a top priority. Imagine never having to worry about your weight, never having to feel awkward about your size. If you have been struggling with your weight and searching for a solution to slimming down, I have good news for you. Fitness will keep you slim for the rest of your life.

If you burn more calories than you eat, then you will lose weight. If exercise is a regular part of your schedule and fitness has a firm footing in your life, then you will never have to worry about gaining weight again.

Most women, if they were active when they were young, weren’t plagued by sudden weight gain. But as we grow older, we become less active and as a result our bodies burn fewer calories. Our metabolism slows and it becomes harder to lose the weight once we gain it. However, we can turn back the clock and train our bodies to start burning calories again. Exercise is the key.

A combination of resistance and cardio exercises is a must for any fitness program. Resistance exercises build muscle, increase flexibility and burn calories. Keeping your body in shape with resistance exercises will probably mean less chance of injury when you perform a task that your body isn’t accustomed to. Staying agile through exercises such as yoga or Pilates is also a great way to keep your body long and lean. Each exercise works various muscle groups, to lengthen and strengthen your muscles, organs and improve your health to make you healthier mentally, physically and spiritually.

Cardio exercises burn even more calories and improve heart functions as well as building stamina. Your heart is strengthened through cardiovascular exercise and these exercises also burn calories to help you lose weight. Building your cardiovascular strength means it will be much easier to complete every day tasks without fatigue as well as those unusual times when you may need extra strength to accomplish a new challenge.

Confusing your muscle groups is a great way to build strength and tone your muscles too. Keeping your muscles confused will help them to work harder. Between sets of your resistance exercises, take a minute and run in place, do jumping jacks, jump rope or hop on a treadmill or an elliptical machine. Reversing exercises, walking backwards, running backwards, working your biceps and your triceps are all great ways to train opposite areas of your muscles to keep you slim for life.
