We talked about Glycogen earlier; when you exercise you use up some of your Glycogen stores. This means that to top up your Glycogen stores, when you eat the carbohydrates will be converted to Glycogen instead of body fat.
How to get the best of both worlds
Low intensity exercise or high intensity exercise, both have advantages. But people on low intensity exercises are inclined to NOT lose weight or go on to yo-yo dieting, when your weight will go up and down, hence the term yo-yo dieting.Why not do both High and Low Intensity Exercises at the same time?
You could start off by taking a brisk walk for say 5 minutes, this is the low intensive exercise, then run for 5 minutes, and this is the high intensive exercise. When you are breathless and your heart is pumping, slow down and start walking briskly again. This is called interval training. So if you keep alternately walking and running for a minute at a time, you will be doing yourself and your body a great deal of good.Do this interval training 5 times a week and you will soon see your body becoming lean and mean, with an improvement to the whole of your health.Just to reminisce, my friend and I when we were late getting back to school would do this walk / run regime and it was amazing how quickly we reached school. But we didn’t know 55 years ago that it had a fancy title of ‘interval training’. If you want to lose weight, try alternating high intensive exercise with low intense exercise. You will soon be losing weight and feeling great.(published with permission in writing from:http://www.weight-loss-4-you.com/)
