Exercise helps us burn calories and lose weight in two different ways. First, it causes muscles of the body to do more work and second it enlarges our muscle tissue, thus raising our metabolic rate. This is because our muscle is more metabolically active than body fat, so physical activity immediate in calorie expenditure during a particular workout and also helps in burning extra calories even when our fitness routine is over.
Burning calories
Exercise and burning calories is the other half of the equation of weight loss and since a healthy weight range contributes to our general health. All kinds of exercise, including strength training, aerobic, sports and even low-level activities, which many of us don’t consider a form of exercise, help. Low level activity does burn calories, and if done long enough even at a low intensity such as when we walk for a couple of hours shopping or walking through a park, the primary source of fuel used is body fat.
Swimming-water sports
Swimming is good exercise. Because the density of the human body is similar to that of the water, the body is supported water and less stress is therefore placed on joints and bones. Therefore swimming is frequently used as an exercise in rehabilitations after injuries. Resistance swimming is one form of swimming exercise. Swimming is an aerobic exercise due to long exercising time, requiring constant supply of oxygen to muscles. Aerobic exercise usually burn fat and help with loosing weight, this effect is limited in swimming, even though being in cold water burns more food energy to maintain body temperature. The reason that swimming does not scientifically reduce weight is still poorly understand, but seems to be related to the better heat conduction of water, A number of reasons are suspected.
Sometimes the swimming consists of swimming laps using a conventional stroke. Swimming uses all three energy production systems, which are the creative phosphate system, anaerobic fermentation and the aerobic system. Water sports helps in burning your calories. Burn your calories lessen your obesity. Thus lead a healthy and a fine life.
