How do you get real toning results when you work out?
the diet hold back 90% of the people from seeing the results that they desire. going to the gym is easy, eating healthy meals day in and day out is not. the healthier the diet and the more whole foods it contains the greater the positive effect there will be on the endocrine system. too many people focus just on calories and not the source of the calories. the foods that you consume have a direct effect on the endocrine system and the endocrine system governs the human body. it will respond accordingly when healthy foods are consumed regularly and when heavily processed foods are consumed regularly. the healthier the diet the faster results of exercise will be seen
Will we gain weight if we stop going to gym and working out?
Yes & no.Yes you will gain weight .The food you take daily & the extra calories consumed eating junk food will not be burnt in work out and consequently results in gain in weight.When you are in working out mode your body has a revved up basal metabolic rate (BMR)but that would slow down if you stop the work out & consequently the extra calories you have consumed through eating junk food and/or eating a little extra everyday or week would result in weight gain.But remember even when you are working out in gym pigging out on junk food would result in weight gain.No.You do not need elaborate gym work out or high intensity cardio outside gym to control weight gain.All you need to do is keep minimum work out or just work out when you feel like subject to time available to just keep the BMR not slowing down.Most important control your eating by not pigging out on junk food & daily intake of food is to suitably adjusted to prevent extra calories getting loaded (as this results in weight gain)Adding a daily walk through out the day & keep moving & fidgeting helps to burn calories to keep your weight in check.A gym workout helps in building muscular mass ,bone density & strength by use of different equipment available there & used by you regularly.But you could do plenty of resistance exercise everyday with body weight - work outs at your own convenience or a simple pair adjustable dumbbells could be useful to maintain physique.Most important is not eating too much food everyday/week/month/year & that is the key to stop weight gain.I do not believe in dieting which is very tough on the body & mind .All the extreme dieting tricks leads to failure & a rebound weight gain so I am personally not for it.
