Tips e-Course 9
More
is not better
Exercising
to hard
This
is probably the most common mistake. As Americans we think if
some is good more is better. And with physical activity, as I
like to call it, this is completely not true. Couple things you
need to know first.
Your
Metabolism rate is the speed at which your body converts sugar
and fat into energy for daily use. The higher your metabolism
rate, the faster your body burns fat cells. One of the largest
influencing factors on your metabolism rate is the amount of muscle
you have. Generally speaking the more muscle you have the higher
your metabolism rate. So you want to gain or at least keep muscle
and loose the fat. That is the goal. The more muscle the more
fat you will burn sitting around doing nothing.
When
you do physical activity your body requires energy. The first
place you body will get this energy is from the sugar reserves
in your system. This usually only lasts a couple minutes. Then
your body will convert or 'burn' fat for the energy. Converting
fat to energy takes time. So as long as your body is not using
energy faster than your body can convert fat to energy, you will
continue to burn fat when you do physical activity. But as soon
as you start using more energy faster than your body can convert
the fat, your body will start to burn muscle.
Now
remember earlier, the more muscle you have the more fat you burn
while do nothing. So if you start exercising to hard you will
burn muscle to keep up with the energy needs of your body. This
will mean you will burn less fat when you are not exercising.
That is why exercising harder is not better.
So
how do you know where this point is for you? Listen to your inner
knowing. This point may change from day-to-day depending on your
life.
