Whether you are trying to lose weight or maintain it, you should understand the important role of physical activity and include it in your lifestyle. Physical activity helps to control your weight by using excess calories that otherwise would be stored as fat. The number of calories you eat and use each day regulates your body weight. Everything you eat contains calories, and everything you do uses calories, including sleeping, breathing, and digesting food. Any physical activity in addition to what you normally do will use extra calories. Secondarily, following a regular aerobics program gives you a sense of commitment and control - two positive mental attitudes that help counteract stress. Aerobics also relax tense muscles, thereby relieving your body's stress response. Finally, medical research has shown that regular aerobic activity increases the body's production of endorphins. |
