Fitness Exercise and Strength Training For Women’s Health…

Jody - Weight Loss Coach

When you are losing weight you think about how many calories you are taking in each day.

Well, what about getting the right weight loss exercise for toning your muscles?

Many women forget about their muscles when it is a major consideration.

Here’s why…did you know strength training exercise  means more lean muscle?

Yes! You actually get to burn more calories in any given day…

When you get your weight off you want to reveal muscle tone and you can easily do it with strength training exercise.

You may not have thought about strength training exercise because you are a woman.

Many women don’t give it a second thought because they think a strength training exercise will give them a manly torso and hulking arms.

You don’t have to worry about this, and this is no reason to avoid the weights. You’ll not bulk up like a man unless you take supplements to aid in this process.

The most that will happen is you will lose weight faster, have a more feminine body tone and you will look amazing at the end of your weight loss journey.

Look better, feel better and enjoy more femininity…that doesn’t sound so bad now does it?

You can find out which strength training exercise is better for you by visiting your local gym. Most gyms have personal trainers to help out their clients, and they can show you any number of simple steps that helps you get results.

You may need to add simple weight routines to your exercise program to get the results you are looking for.

You don’t have to lay down on a weight bench to get the benefits of exercise which is all part of a good strength training exercise program.

It is much simpler than you think.

You may also find a good strength training exercise by looking online, hint, hint. Just remember what when you work with any sort of weight you want to make sure you have proper form and breathing.

They are just as important than the actual strength training exercise. If you don’t not work with weights properly you can hurt yourself.

It is easy to learn proper form and breathing, however, so don’t stop yourself from looking into this because you fear it will be too complicated.

If you already do aerobics you already have the breathing part down anyway.

You only need to do this type of exercise for about twenty minutes two to three times a week to get the results you are looking for…

Underactive Thyroid?

Could Your Weight Gain be Caused by an Underactive  Thyroid?

An underactive thyroid is a common problem among women who suffer from chronic weight gain and have difficulty burning off the unwanted pounds.

And the condition, known medically as hypothyroidism, can have a variety of different symptoms.

Some typical symptoms experienced by women with an underactive thyroid include:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Constipation
  • Thinning hair
  • dry skin,
  • sore and aching  muscles
  • Difficulty maintaining concentration
  • Depression
  • Fertility issues
  • Brittle nails
  • Reduced heart rate…

The most common symptom of all, however is weight gain.

Since the thyroid gland is responsible for hormones that regulate the metabolism, an underactive thyroid can lead directly to a slow metabolism, prompting your body to store energy from food as body fat.

A slow metabolism, meanwhile, can make it almost impossible to burn off the added weight through diet and exercise.

Trying to overcome a chronically sluggish metabolism through diet and exercise alone is almost guaranteed to be a losing battle…

Unfortunately, many women who suffer from hypothyroidism are unaware of their condition and mistkenly assume that their weight gain comes from some other source.

Women experience continual frustration when their good-faith efforts at dieting produce little or nothing in the way of results…

Do you feel discouraged or convinced that your weight gain is “genetic.”

Fortunately, there are a number of good options for restoring thyroid function once an underactive thyroid has been diagnosed by a thyroid test.

If you believe you may have an underactive thyroid gland, your first step is to speak with your physician to arrange a thyroid test and go over options for thyroid treatment.

These may include supplemental hormones, which must be taken indefinitely in order to avoid deficiencies.

However, hormone replacement does come with some risks, including the risk of developing an overactive thyroid, whch can result in symptoms like elevated heart rate.

For women concerned about the side effects or cost of hormone therapy, restoring the normal healthy function of your thyroid may also be possible through a combination of a good diet and supplements.

Any decision you reach should be made in close consultation with your doctor, since the thyroid is not something you’d want to tackle on your own unless you happen to have a degree in endocrinology.

Once your thyroid hormones are back to normal, (normal thyroid) whether through hormone replacement or other means, your metabolism will correct itself, and you’ll fiind it much easier to lose weight.

Perhaps you’ll also enjoy significantly more energy, which can help you stick to a new exercise routine.

Low Calorie Food Satisfies Hunger?

Low fat recipes foods with a high satiety value help reduce the amount of food it takes to stop hunger and cravings…

Are you tired of struggling with your weight?

Sick and tired of rail thin celebrities touting the latest diet patch, diet pill or another domineering diet plan?

What low fat or low calorie food helps stop hunger and cravings while extending time between meals?

What about hunger pangs and hunger pains…

Satiety is the feeling that you are not being deprived and are full, and often satiety is the only determining factor in successful weight management.

Good news is there are many low-calorie foods can help you achieve satiety.

In general, the more water, fiber and protein a food has the longer it will keep you satisfied…

Eggs have been dubbed the perfect protein with omega-3 nutrient dense.

Eggs are a nutrient dense food that boosts brain power thanks to the choline they contain.

A 2005 study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition concludes that protein foods have a strong role in satiety.

In the study, women who ate a daily diet of 30 percent protein consumed 441 fewer calories than women who ate 15 percent of calories from protein.

Other low-fat, high-protein choices can give satiety, too.

Protein empties from the stomach more slowly than carbohydrates that’s why some women feel full longer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

It keeps blood sugar steady instead of spiking as some carbohydrates can.

Good protein foods include:

  • Lean meats
  • Poultry without skin
  •  Low fat or non fat low calorie dairy foods…

Fish is more satisfying on a per-calorie basis than other proteins according to the Diabetes Network.

Broth based soup can fill you up without filling you out.

Soup is a great way to start a meal and save on calories, thanks to its high water content.

Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., Pennsylvania State University’s chairwoman of nutrition researched the difference between women who started meals with soup and those who began with entrees…

Rolls found that women who ate meals with soup consumed 100 fewer calories during the meal.

Complex carbohydrates high in water and fiber such as apples, oranges and grapes give you more food for fewer calories.

Also high fiber and higher fiber foods stay in your stomach longer because they’re processed slower.

This means you feel fuller for longer according to Elisa Zied spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

Popcorn is a low calorie snack food that allows you to indulge your urge to munch without lots of extra calories thanks to its bulk.

Just make sure you don’t drench it in high-fat butter.

Some herbs or spices can be used to give extra pizazz to your snack without adding extra calories.

Choose popcorn over dry foods…

Including pretzels and crackers because these snacks lack fiber, water and are low in volume as recommended by Weight Watchers.

Legumes and beans truly are magical when it comes to feeling full because of their high fiber and protein contents.

Lentils and baked beans both had high marks on the Satiety Index developed by Australian researcher Dr. Susanne Holt of the University of Sydney.

Beans and lentils also have “anti” nutrients delaying their absorption and keep you feeling fuller longer.

Salad gives you the satisfying crunch factor along with fiber and water.

As with soup, women who start their meals with salad eat fewer calories than those who skip the greens according to Rolls’ research.
