There is a new type of fitness that has recently become known about that is in our interests to explore further. It is called "metabolic fitness" and means that our body's hormones are in balance so that aging is slowed to a bare minimum and that excess body fat is not stored which further accelerates the aging process.
Recent scientific research has uncovered that this balance can be manipulated by lifestyle choices such as exercise and nutrition to allow us to live a longer, healthier and disease free life. One of the causes of the aging process is the decline of the master hormone human growth hormone (HGH). Hormones are the chemical messengers in the body affecting every system and body part and its function at cellular level.
Youth Fitness And Exercise
It isn't a matter of the number of years one accumulates that is the cause of the decline of this hormone but by changes such as lack of physical activity leading to weight gain, obesity, high sugar levels, and high levels of free fatty acids in the blood. All of these factors are within our control through proper exercise and nutrition.
This means that there is a lot you can do no matter whether you are 30 or 50 years old to stimulate the release of this "youth" hormone. New exercise technology allows us to teach the body to become a better fat burning machine as opposed to a fat storing machine.
This all sounds like magic, right? But it isn't magic it is a four letter word called "work", something many of us have long since forgotten the meaning of. This work has to be at the right intensity (degree of difficulty) to give a hormonal effect.
The idea that keeps floating around that somehow exercise needs to be easy or "fun" otherwise we won't do it is crazy. Unless it is challenging there is absolutely no reason for the body to get stronger. Our body is designed for very vigorous and demanding activity; in fact it thrives on it and needs it to stay healthy and disease free.
What we need to do is raise the metabolic rate (the rate the body burns fuel) every minute of every hour of every day to stop energy (fuel) being stored as body fat and slow the aging process. A brisk walk around the park or 20 minutes on the "bike" will raise your heart rate but will not stimulate the release of HGH
The fastest and best way to achieve this is with proper exercise program that contains at least 60% strength training exercise. To support this program and generate enough energy and high motivation levels is to eat 5-6 small meals each day spaced 2-3 hours apart of whole natural foods.
These two strategies will ensure that "metabolic fitness" is at its highest and most balanced level. This highly beneficial state of function will deliver signals to the rest of your body to rebuild, regenerate and rejuvenate at cellular level. This finely orchestrated hormonal response creates the perfect scenario for fat burning and muscle toning generating a stronger, fitter, leaner and disease resistant body.
To get to this state in the quickest possible time find yourself a fitness professional that understands hormonal exercise techniques. Use their services until you feel confident you can continue on your own and make progress over a long period of time.
There is no hurry to get there, once you are on the road it is simply a matter of continuing to take small steps. This new information is a huge breakthrough in our knowledge about how our bodies work so make use of new and effective exercise techniques for the ultimate anti aging tool. This will help you get the most out of this merry go round called life.
