I get a lot of questions about what type of exercise is best for losing weight. Well, I can offer a few tips here.
Moderate exercise is always best. Heavy exercise while may burn more calories is hard on your body and causes excess free radicals or oxidative stress. Watch for a blog entry that will discuss athletes, recovery, and what can be done to minimize the oxidative stress for people that work out hard or are training athletes.
Back to the exercise part. Moderate exercise 4-5x per week for a duration of at least 30 minutes is ideal. Weight resistance is an excellent way for weight reductions. Here is some of the reasoning behind this.
Your large muscles burn up their fuel called glycogen, once this fuel is burned up, your muscles must go to another form of fuel to feed and produce the energy needed to peform. Once these stores of glycogen are used the body will rely on fat to produce energy. So if your exercise regime includes both weight resistance and cardio (aerobic) you should do the weight resistance exercises first then go to the cardio and you will go straight to fat burning.
One word of caution, you have a glycogen window which is a period of time about 20-30 minutes when you need to replentish your glycogen stores so your muscles recover properly and reduce soreness. You should have a low glycemic snack or meal with good carbs and protein during this window of time. There are many items on the market but watch the labels and sugar content on some of these products. Buy your products by reading the label and not by advertisement hype.
