Aerobic Exercise Can Be Almost AnythingWriten by Terje Ellingsen

You can put in an aerobic workout in almost any everyday activity. Aerobic exercise is good for your heart and it doesnt need to be boring at all. Here are just a few activities you can do.

Dancing is Fun

Dancing is so much fun and whether you enjoy a slow, ballroom dance or a nightclub packed with people all moving to heart-pumping techno, as long as you are moving, it really does not matter what type of dance or music. The whole idea is to move your body. Dancing has long been recommended as an avenue to fitness. And its fun and enjoyable as well

Workout Tapes

If you have a VCR or DVD, rather than just using it for your favorite comedy or action-packed movie, try sticking in some good workout tapes. Even taking 15 minutes or so every day to workout will get you started. Try that for two weeks and you will be surprised at the results. Once you see that 15 minutes a day makes a difference, you will be encouraged to increase the time spent.

Running in the Sand

If you live in a geographical area, where you have the luxury of sandy beaches, why not take a walk or a running session along the beach. Is feels great to run or walk where the waves of the ocean and the beach meets. The sound of the waves against the shore will make you feel even better.

Walk Your Dog

Instead of just opening the back door to let your dog out, put it on a leash and go for a nice walk. Your dog will appreciate the new scenery and you are doing yourself a great justice.

Have You ever tried Bowling?

Get some exercise by joining a bowling league. You can find a league for just about every level of bowler as well as any day and time of the week. This is a great way to get out and have some fun while also exercising. Yes, bowling does count as exercising, no doubt about that.

heart health and weight loss come quicker and better using these exercise principles

Heart Health and Weight Loss Come Quicker and Better Using These Exercise PrinciplesWriten by Gene D. Millen

About 100 years ago, when I was on the high school track team, Coach Miller encouraged us to do wind sprints. We would jog around the track for a while, suddenly break into a sprint for about 40 yards and then slow down to a walk as our lungs cried out Please don't do that again.

In the beginning we looked upon this activity as an extreme form of punishment but we learned later that these alternating intensity workouts, now known as interval training, dramatically improved our energy and performance.

Don't panic. I'm not recruiting for the geriatric track team but there is a law of nature at work here that applies to the young or old, fit or fat. Our Creator designed the human body with the miraculous ability to adapt.

Natalie, our adopted granddaughter spent the first thirteen months of her life confined to a crib in a crowded, understaffed hospital in Siberia. Upon arriving in her new home in Dallas, Natalie immediately began to make up for lost time. In a few short months she rushed from crawling to walking to sprinting like an Olympic gymnast.

Natalie's Mom and Dad will attest to the fact that her ormal activity level accelerated from inactive to an astounding high-energy dynamo.

If you are a couch potato (heaven forbid) or in the as little as possible exercise category you too can make dramatic progress in your physical condition by employing the interval training concept. And it will take as little as three 29-minutes sessions per week.

A Canadian study followed exercisers who burned 300 to 400 calories per session. A control group matched the same routine one-third of the time. Two thirds of the time they exercised for a shorter period during which they burned only 225-250 calories-but they included occasional 30-90 second bursts of high-intensity exercise. The fat loss of the group who worked out less was nine times greater than the subjects performing moderate exercise.

Of the three key exercise variables...how often you do it, how hard you work and how long you last, intensity has the most powerful effect. Your body responds to short bursts of intensity by releasing a cascade of fat-mobilizing hormones and anti-aging growth hormones that supercharge your metabolism and burn extra calories for 24 hours or longer.

Fat loss is only one of the benefits. A new study by British researchers tracked 1,975 healthy men over ten years. The men who exercised the hardest had a 47% percent lower risk of death from all causes and a whopping 62% lower risk of death from heart disease, compared with those who reported very little or no intense exercise. The best part however is that these benefits were achieved with as little as nine minutes per day of vigorous activity.

The principle of adaptation also applies to strengthening your muscles, which need to be worked hard to become stronger. The average person loses up to 20 pounds of muscle by age 70 and since each pound of muscle burns up to 50 calories per day it is easy to see why love handles and spare tires sneak up on us.

Those who are on a low carb diet (I hate the word diet) such as Dr. Atkins Diet or South Beach Diet your exercise has a distinct advantage over the low-fat dieters. Low carbers have a limited amount of glycogen (stored sugar) available and so the body utilizes the fat on the belly, hips and other unwanted places as the primary sources of energy during exercise.

Think you're too old or out of shape to get started on wind sprints? It's never too late to start feelin' great!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

The cardiologist looked up from the treadmill report and grimly stated, You are a walking time bomb. You need to go to the hospital immediately. Two days later a heart surgeon sawed open Gene Millen's chest and stitched in bypasses to six clogged arteries.

A six way heart bypass isn't a record said Gene, ut it's not bad for a skinny 59 year old with normal cholesterol and blood pressure. The villains and heroes in the heart attack melodrama may surprise you as they have me.

Gene Millen reviews new research on heart attack risks that are more dangerous than high cholesterol... and how natural supplements and heart vitamins can send them packing! Check out The Heart Health website at http://www.heart-health-for-life.com
