An important exercise regimen is a key component
in reaching your weight loss goals. Though a
proper diet is crucial for losing weight, many
studies have indicated that the most important
factor in keeping the weight off is exercise.
Whether you have the ability to work out everyday,
or just once a week, there are many health benefits
to following a proper balance of cardiovascular
and strength training activities.

BENEFITS
OF EXERCISING |
1. Burn Calories:
Physical activity is the best way for your body to
continuously burn calories. The more active you are,
the more calories you will burn. House hold choirs
such as vacuuming, washing dishes, or even going up
and down a flight of stairs, are all great ways to
stay active and burn calories away from the gym.
.............................
2. Avoid
Plateau’s: Exercise is a great way
to also avoid hitting the “notorious” plateau
that is ommonly seen with weight loss. Many people
hit a stopping point in their progress, where diet
and amount of exercise simply stop working. Your body
can easily become conditioned to a specific type of
exercise or workout routine. Increasing and changing
the types of activity you subject to your body, may
give your weight loss another “push” for
continued results.
.............................
3. Build Muscle: Exercise
can build muscle, but more importantly will help maintain
lean muscle mass. Anatomy studies have shown that
the more muscle you have, the more calories your body
will naturally burn. Strength training is the most
effective way of building muscle and keeping your
body to burn those unwanted calories.
.............................
4. Increase Metabolic Rate: Exercise
increases your body’s metabolic rate, and continues that elevated
rate for an extended period of time even after you have
stopped your physical activity. After exercising, your
body naturally lowers its set point but keeps your metabolic
rate elevated. By maintaining this rate, you continue
to burn a higher rate of calories for periods even after
your workouts are over. Perhaps this is why active people
can "Eat anything and not gain a pound," and
why other people "Gain weight by just looking
at food!”
.............................
5. Sleep Better: Exercise,
particularly in the morning, may help you sleep better
at night.  Research
has shown that the physical exertion, relaxation, and
alignment of your biological clock experienced earlier
in the day, can cause for a deeper night’s sleep.
Be sure however not to workout too close to your bedtime
if you exercise at night. Physical activity in the
late evening can keep you awake or even lead to sleep
disorders in some cases. If you need to exercise within
a few hours of going to bed, try limiting yourself
to a brisk walk. Experts say you should allow yourself
about three hours of down time between when you finish
exercising and when you go to sleep. Save the high-impact
aerobics and strength training for the a.m., mid-day,
early afternoon, or early evening when possible.
.............................
 6. Feel Good: Physical
activity is good for your mind, body and soul. Exercising
improves your mood with chemicals released in the
brain called endorphins. The release of endorphins
generally heightens an overall feeling about yourself,
and provides a better sense of well-being. These same
triggers of satisfaction in your brain have also been
found when falling in love” or eating
chocolate to satisfy your craving. Exercise can also
help you feel great by reducing and relieving your
body’s
stress levels. Let’s not forget that many people
have also found “a steamier” sex life
from the benefits that physical activity can provide.
.............................
7. Burn Fat: Exercise
will increase production of enzymes in your body that
are used to burn fat. As you work to get in better
shape, your body will lower the amount of storage fat
it has to hold on to, thus causing you to lose weight.
A proper fat burning workout regimen consists of a
good balance between low and high intensity cardiovascular
, and strength training exercises. This combination
will allow you to lose the type of weight you are really
seeking to shed… FAT!
.............................
8. Reduce
Health Risks: Many medical studies
have shown that a consistent exercise regimen of 3-6
days per week, for at least 30 minutes per day, can
decrease your risk of heart disease by 30-40%. You
can also decrease health factors such as high blood
pressure, osteoporosis, sleep apnea, loss of balance,
and arthritis, to name a few. Exercise naturally increases
your cells’ response
to insulin as well. This will strengthen your body’s
ability to fight against the disease of diabetes.
 The most important factor in determining when to exercise
is to find a time of day that you can consistently commit
to being physically active.
Ideally, if you could work out at different times each
day, your body will lessen its chances to hit a plateau
and adapt to your natural metabolic set point. When
your body becomes too accustom to a certain time of
day, or a certain type of activity, you will have a
harder time shedding weight because it is conditioned
to those circumstances. Unfortunately, most people do
not have schedules that allow us to exercise at different
times each day. You have to make the best with your
individual situation. The key point is to ensure you
are still committing to exercising and being active
as often as possible.
Working out in the morning is best in terms of burning
calories and aligning your biological clock. Some people
however, prefer exercising in the evenings to help reduce
the stress developed throughout the day.
NeilZ Health World Philosophy:
The most important thing to keep in mind is regardless
of when you can workout, as long as you can find
time to make exercise part of your routine, you
will benefit from it. The most important factor
in determining when to exercise is to find a time
of day that you can consistently commit to being
physically active.

This is the age-old question that has plagued people
for years, and the answer varies depending on the source
you ask! There really is no simple answer to this question,
but let’s look  at
a few factors to take into your consideration.
According to reputable Internet outlets WebMD
and CBS News, the United States government
is required by law to release a new set of dietary guidelines
every five years.
“In January 2005, the U.S. government released
a new set of dietary guidelines essentially telling
us that as Americans get bigger, so does the length
of time we need to be physically active.” (CBS)
The Department of Agriculture and the Department of
Health and Human Services indicate that at least
30 minutes of daily physical activity is required
to reduce the risk of chronic diseases in adults. Though
this research may be true, many people who exercise
for 30 minutes a day, still find that they are gaining
weight, or at best maintaining some degree of their
weight for a period of time.
 Weight
loss in its simplest form is an equation of how many
calories your body consumes vs. how many calories your
body is burning. If you burn more calories than you
are taking in, you will lose weight. The same holds
true for the reverse effect that you will gain weight
by not burning off the calories you are consuming each
day.
Recent studies have indicated that most people need
to exercise 60 minutes per day in order
to prevent weight gain, and that for people who have
lost a substantial amount of weight and wish to keep
that weight off in the long term, need to exercise
90 minutes per day.
Exercising anywhere between 30-90 minutes a day with
our busy schedules, can be a very challenging feat in
deed.
NeilZ Health World Philosophy:
We at NeilZ Health World approach diet and exercise
in parallel, because it’s the most realistic approach
to losing weight and keeping it off. In most cases,
you have to adapt a new philosophy of life that encompasses
a proper exercise and diet regimen. This way you do
not always have to feel obligated to exercise so many
grueling hours just to lose weight or maintain your
weight loss.
If you are eating well for the majority of the week,
you allow yourself a bit more flexibility to not exercise
as much to lose weight. The same holds true if you do
exercise consistently, you allow yourself to indulge
on your favorite “cheat” foods a bit more
often. It’s really about finding the balance that
works in your life!
At NeilZ Health World, we believe that if you are new
to exercising, you should start slow. Try exercising
about three to four times per week for a few months,
and then work up to five to six times per week as medically
recommended.
Working out three times a week will improve cardiovascular
fitness, but it is not frequent enough for the ideal
weight loss program long term. You may see great results
by working out a few times of week if you were previously
very inactive. As you get in better shape, you will
allow yourself to exercise for longer periods of time
and more frequently. These components will be an important
part of increasing your metabolism and keep the fat
burning in your body.
Neil will develop an exercise program that is customized
to your specific needs, and incorporates elements to
be active at home or in the gym. We guarantee that
each program will fit within your time schedule, lifestyle,
and fitness level. Neil knows the secrets of combining
the best types of Cardio and Weight Training Exercises
to maximize your results. So contact

Before engaging in any exercise
activity or program, please consult with your physician
for a proper medical evaluation. NeilZ Health World
provides exercise advice that pertains to the general
public with a certain fitness level to partake in physical
activity. Consult with your doctor for any specific
questions or concerns related to your health and ability
to exercise. Always stretch for at least 5 minutes prior
to beginning a workout to avoid injury. Allow your body
time to cool down for five minutes after finishing your
exercise to avoid dizziness and/or nausea.
