Fitness Exercise and Strength Training For Women’s Health…

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.

Weight Loss Tips?

Women are so busy these days and for reasons of time, cost and scheduling many find it very difficult to break free from the horrific dieting roller coaster…

1. Set a goal.

Identify your ideal weight and set up a plan to start reaching your goal.

2. Don’t be afraid to ask for and get help.

You’re not going to lose weight alone so tell you family.

Get support…

3. Vitamins can be good for you.

The American diet lacks essential vitamins and minerals. Balance your health with the best supplements.

4. Walk the Walk.

You burn calories when you walk, did you know that? Keep happily fit and active by balancing nutrition, health food and diet with regular exercise.

5. Sleep it off.

To be efficient at fat-burning, your body needs at least eight hours of sleep.

If you think you‘re doing yourself a favor by sleeping less, you‘re very much mistaken…

Before and After…Loss Weight Fast and Easy!

Watch this video below and see with your own eyes how fast and easy it is for some women to lose weight…without exercise or regardless of what they eat.

Is Weight Loss A Simple Phone Call Away?

Many women wanting to improve their weight loss results and eating habits may not be able to go see a dietitian or nutritionist for individual counseling.

Well, what about telephone counseling?

For women’s health, it’s becoming increasingly popular…these days!

Latest studies have reported it’s an effective strategy for behavior change.

A research study in the August 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Dietetic Association indicates counseling over the phone does indeed work.

Although uncontrolled, this telephone-counseling intervention over 3 months with a total of 8 phone calls to each participant…

This revealed even short periods of counseling can produce healthy weight loss with dietary changes.

Specifically, adults (97 people, mostly women) who were eating fewer than 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily…

Women were encouraged to increase their intake of fresh:

  • Fruits
  • Vegetables
  • Whole grains
  • Beans, legumes
  • Fiber

Plasma carotenoids (antioxidants) were measured in 41 randomly selected people as a way of assessing their actual intake of vegetables and fruits.

Results of this study revealed those receiving the telephone intervention consumed significantly more vegetables (67 percent), fruits (71 percent increase)…

Whole grains and beans (40 percent) as indicated by significant increases in their total plasma carotenoids…than did those not receiving the telephone counseling.

Why does telephone weight loss counseling work?

In my opinion, the telephone allowed the coach to give expert advice consistently.

And it created a sense of accountability on the part of the participants, both of which paid off in more healthy eating choices.

Also, the subjects’ intake of fat significantly decreased as more fruits and vegetables were consumed.

Since fat contains more than twice the calories of carbohydrates or protein, the caloric intake of their meals naturally decreased.

This means not only did it increase their chances for weight loss, but also decreased their risk for heart disease.

While the ideal will always be to see a dietitian or health care provider face-to-face…

This research suggests other options are out there that might result in significant dietary changes.

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) has a directory of dietitians in all 50 states.

You can find one within a short distance of your home or office.

You can even specify the particular area of nutrition counseling you’d like to receive, including weight management.

Just go to the ADA Web site, click on “Find a Nutrition Professional Near You,” and enter your zip code.

Some of the dietitians may do phone consultations or even make house calls!
