How Much Exercise Do You Need

Aug 25, 2007 @ 08:56 am by wayne

The American College of Sports Medicine has recently updated its recommendations on physical activity. The core recommendation is to try to achieve
30 minutes of moderate intensity cardio (aerobic or endurance activities such as walking, jogging, swimming etc.) 5 days a week
or (an option for the more highly conditioned) 20 minutes of vigorously intense cardio 3 times a week;
and 2 sessions a week of resistance training (eight to 10 exercises, eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise.) These sessions are highly encouraged for the older population.

If you are starting out on your fitness training and don’t think that you can manage 30 minutes of moderately intense work in one session, you can break it up and do three ten minute sessions spread throughout the day.

The Three Elements of Weight Management

Aug 24, 2007 @ 09:16 pm by wayne

measuring waistWeight Management is an important aspect of your overall health and fitness. It doesn’t matter if you want to lose body fat, gain muscle or maintain your weight when your metabolism starts to slow down or for sporting purposes, there are three primary elements that you have to address if you want to achieve your weight goals. They are

1 – Nutrition
2 – Exercise and
3 – Behaviour

Even if you have one or even two of these elements under control, it is probable that you are not making the progress that you want. The one/s that you don’t have working, is/are probably sabotaging your progress.

I will be addressing each of the three elements of weight management in future posts.
