The Best Kind of High!


Losing weight is not all about your diet! Improve your metabolism by building muscles, snacking on a variety of healthy, low-calorie foods, giving your body enough protein and keep moving!

Exercise is one of the best ways to jump-start your metabolism. Both aerobic workouts and weight training will help your body burn more calories, and build muscle - bolstering your metabolism in the process.

Losing weight and keeping it off is best accomplished with two simple habits: (1) Enjoy a variety of healthy foods and (2) Exercise daily and stay physically active. For some people, losing weight may be as simple as changing their diet, but for the vast majority of us exercise is equally important. As we age, exercise becomes an even more important factor to our metabolism.

University studies show that not only does exercise increase metabolism during your workout, but it causes your metabolism to stay increased for hours after exercising, helping you to burn more calories!

The facts are clear - if you want to lose weight, enjoy life more and live longer - your odds are much better if you get some exercise most days of the week! Eating healthy foods is equally vital. You know what the bad stuff is. Find ways to fit more healthy choices in your busy life. Schedule some time each day - just for you. And guard it closely!

For the best results - try a balanced approach. Combine weight or resistance training with flexibility and aerobic exercise. If your program is balanced enough, you wont have to be concerned about developing over exaggerated muscles. You really can exercise and lose weight fast! Try it for a few weeks. You'll soon be hooked on the exercise high!
