Everyone should exercise and there can be no significant lasting weight loss or good health without it. We know that exercise helps regulate appetite, facilitate digestion and control insulin flow. It also works to increase circulation and the flow of oxygen. Yet we need to understand that everyone is metabolically individual. Understanding the inner workings for your specific body type will tell you what kind of exercises will be best for your body. Not everybody will respond well to heavy cardio. Weight training is good for some and not for others. Concentrating on the wrong type of exercise can create an invisible obstacle to optimum well-being.
By identifying your metabolic type, you can discover which exercises will turn your body into a lean, vital, fat-burning machine functioning at peak efficiency all the time. The same experimentation that you apply to choosing your foods should go into choosing your exercise. Set realistic goals by starting off slowly and then increasing your endurance every day. You can mix and match your exercises- alternating between aerobics, practices like yoga or martial arts and resistance training. There may be times when you feel the need to speed your system up; that’s when running or cycling may be the best choice. If you want to slow yourself down, try a period of weight training, yoga or Tai Chi. Whatever you decide, chooses activities you enjoy so you are likely to continue being active on a consistent basis.
