Maintain Your Healthy Body Weight by Breaking a Sweat

Seems obvious, but a recent study at Northwestern University which analyzed the BMI from over 2600 participants over the course of 20 whole years found that those who managed to get about 30 minutes of moderate to high intensity exercise per day between the age of 20 and middle age were more likely to have a healthy BMI than those who didn’t.

Although diet plays a very important part in a healthy BMI, exercise is also incredibly important. Not only is it important in keeping off body fay, exercise is a key ingredient to staying healthy all around, from maintaining strong bones and muscles as well as keeping the ticker and other organs in tip top shape.

So the moral of the post is to keep on chuggin in your workouts and activity. Get some exercise in on a daily basis, even if just some jumping jacks and air squats. Work up the heart rate and get a little sweaty. It’ll do your body good.

I agree you need a balance of food intake and energy spent its the key to keeping in shape.

Fat burning is easily kept in trim by using a rowing machine, I use one 20 minutes a day and vary my rowing style, from intense crazy to relaxed and care free.

Anyone who rows for an hour a day can burn 14-16lbs in a month. Take the challenge see me on facebook under fluid rower fat burn or check http://www.fluid-rower.com
