Beach Ready With Bamboo And Exercise

Cozy Yoga Top

With summer rapidly approaching, now is the time to shed those winter pounds to get beach-ready. Fad diets abound but most experts will tell you that the secret to successful weight loss is a healthy diet and exercise plan. In fact, most successful long-term weight loss sticks when the weight loss is an average of 3 pounds per week.

Losing weight is as simple as doing math. You need to burn more calories than you eat. Experts generally recommend eating 500 less calories per day while increasing your calorie burn through physical activity. Focus on eating fresh fruits, veggies, lean meats or soy products and non-fat dairy products. And always make sure to stay hydrated.

As for burning calories, a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine indicates that losing weight requires up to an hour of moderate exercise a day.

While getting up and exercising might seem intimidating at first, there are several ways that beginners can start working up a sweat.

Mens Yoga Pants Yoga – More intensive than one might think, yoga burns on average 200 calories per hour. It also increases flexibility, strength and improves posture while reducing stress. Green Earth Bamboo offers a range of highly absorbent and comfortable yoga gear for your new journey. Ranging from mens yoga pants to a super-soft yoga top, there are plenty of options for everyone. While you might be the beginner in the class, you’ll look like an expert in these clothes.

Running/Walking – These are by far the easiest ways for beginners to get up and active and you can burn an average of 100 calories per mile. All they require are good shoes, a sidewalk, trail or treadmill and the right attire of course. As important as shoes are, good socks are often overlooked but are crucial to keeping your feet healthy as you run or walk. Make sure to treat your feet right with these absorbent wicking socks made from vicose.

Interval training – Interval training involves mixing a regular workout with spurts of high-intensity work during the workout. It utilizes both the aerobic and anaerobic systems in the body. While the aerobic system is the one that allows you to walk/run for several miles by converting carbohydrates to energy, the anaerobic system draws energy from the carbohydrates stored in muscles for short bursts of activity. You can utilize interval training by including sprints into your daily runs or by walking at an intense pace for two minutes before returning to your normal pace for five minutes.

Strength training – The benefits of regular strength training include an increase in your bone mineral density by putting enough stress on the bones to increase bone density. Your muscles will increase in strength and will respond by increasing your range of activities. Also, by increasing muscle mass, you increase the amount of energy that is required by your body at rest. The more muscle that you have, the more energy your body will use to function on a daily basis meaning more fat and calories burned each minute.
