Facte about tat and fitness During winter, many Americans vow to exercise regularly to make it through the Holidays and start the year without a few extra pounds. Yet according to the American Council on Exercise, more than half will quit regular exercise within the first few inonths. One reason Americans find it difficult to stick with an exercise program is they have unrealistic expectations and get discouraged too easily. ! Fitness experts offer these tips on getting fit: ; Understand what it means to be fit. Body fat and muscle composition are key factors in determining overall health and fitness. Experts recommend that body fat levels for men generally not exceed 24 percent, and levels for women not exceed 27 percent. Exercise increases the bodys muscle mass, which is the second most metabolically active tissue in the body, aside from nervous tissue. As metabolism increases, their body uses more calories faster. In order to maintain a proper energy balance, the body begins burning its stored fat supply, which results in fat loss. People with high metabolisms even bum more calories while at rest. Dont rely on appearance alone. A person who appears thin" may actually have too much inner body fat, whereas someone who is very muscular and weighs more may be more fit. Tailor your exercise program. Just as height and weight varies among healthy adults, so too does an appropriate exercise program. Your program should be developed to fit your own individual fitness needs, whether its maintaining or increasing strength and flexibility, losing weight and body fht, or both. Be patient. You probably wont be able to see a difference for up to 12 weeks. However, exercise will make you feel better physi-- , cally and emotionally almost' immediately. Monitor your progress. In order to know whether or not an exercise program is helping you achieve your goals, monitor your fitness progress. Because muscle weighs more than fat, regular exercise may actually increase your weight. Monitoring both weight and body fat on a regular basis provides a truer picture of how your fitness level is improving. r Reducing body fat can mean a much slower process than dropping pounds. It takes about a month of proper diet and active exercise to drop one percentage point of body fat. However, each percentage drop in fat can mean, significant improvement in both! appearance and health. Food cravings might signal lack of nutrients Do you suffer from intense food cravings? Studies show up to 97 of women crave specific foods on a regular basis and not just when theyre pregnant or premenstrual.
