Enjoying Your Weight Loss

By Cassandra Segoviano

Daily exercise is something you should look forward to with great anticipation.

You should be eating good healthy food that doesn't leave you feeling starved although initially you might feel that way as you change from the bulk poor quality food that you've been eating to smaller portions of better quality food.

Drinking more water is a great way to help your body during this transition.

Although exercise is one of the best ways of losing weight, many people are reluctant to exercise.

For those people who are obese it can be quite difficult to exercise although there are forms of exercise that can cater to virtually anybody.

Swimming, biking and walking are three very good low impact forms of exercise that can improve your fitness and reduce your body weight. They can speed up your metabolism and help you to burn fat and swimming in particular is very good for people who are overweight to the extent that they find walking difficult.

Recently Nordic walking has become a lot more popular and this is a particularly good form of exercise for two reasons.

Firstly by using the poles when you are walking you are using a lot more of your upper body muscles for the exercise and in doing so this helps to burn more calories than walking without them.

Extremely heavy people will also find it beneficial using the poles when walking because they take a lot of stress of your knees and hips.

Do you see the benefits of Nordic walking? It's no wonder why it's becoming one of the more popular exercises throughout the country. - 16004
