Every time a person moves their body they increase the output or burning of calories for energy which is a result of the metabolic rate of the metabolism. Not to get to complicated, but the energy systems of the body label aerobic and anaerobic. The use of oxygen output are a results of different types of physical activity and the body will use either Carbs or Fat as energy sources to support metabolic output.
The way a person exercises will fall into 1 of 3 categories to either maintain or improve a part of the body/function.
MUSCLES 2. JOINTS 3. HEART/LUNGS (Cardio)
Our Components of Health-Related Fitness create sub categories to apply exercise training principles.
Muscles are worked on by practicing muscular strength and endurance exercises
Joints are worked on by practicing flexibility through stretching exercises
Heart/Lungs are worked on by practicing aerobic activity such as walk/run/bike/swim.
What does all this mean? Well, it is simple to place any type of exercise into one of the components of health related fitness becomes health enhancing. If a person would like to tone the body (which is increasing muscle and decreasing fat), then they would be told by a personal trainer to work on Muscular Strength and Endurance, with Cardio and some flexibility too. All the things a person should be doing anyway to maintain their health.
Every exercise a person can do will help increase their metabolism, but sequencing exercises to fall into an specific intensity level and order can change everything. I will post in my last two blogs some specific ways to exercise to fire up your furnace we call a metabolism that will be burning calories for hours post workout and allow the fat burning process to be moving exponentially faster then you could have ever imagined, but only if you apply it....
