Why Exercise is important? Or I am on Ideal weight, Why Should I do Exercise?

Yes, Thanks for coming to this question!
Doing Exercise is important when I need to lose weight or I want to have a Big body (Bodybuilders), this is what majority of us thinks? (Please Read it till end, It’s Important)
I am sure you have heard of “Benefits of Exercise”, let us help you in Reminding.

Few Popular Benefits of Exercise:

  • Exercise helps our body in releasing Endorphins. (Endorphins interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain and “in short” gives a positive feeling (happiness) in the body.)
  • Exercise Improves your
    • Body Shape
    • Muscle Tone
    • Flexibility
  • Exercise Strengthens our Bones.
  • Exercise reduces the chances of Illness.
  • Exercise Increases our life Expectancy.
  • Exercise helps us to feel better about ourselves.
  • Exercise Increases our Self-Confidence.
  • Exercise helps us socially also, to meet few “New”, “Good Looking” & “Healthy People” around us to get motivated.
  • Etc………..

Few Less Popular Benefits of Exercise:

  • Our Body needs Energy and here is the Equation of our PRIMARY School Class.
    • Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + “Energy”
      • Glucose -> What we intake (especially carbs/Sugar etc.)
      • Oxygen -> What we Inhale brings oxygen from the environment inside us.(O2)
      • Carbon Dioxide -> What we Exhale, CO2 from inside of us to the Environment(which tree inhales for making their own food)
      • Energy -> With What a Human Being can do anything (including Climbing Mount Everest).

If we increase Oxygen Intake in the above Reaction then this process becomes more efficient. EXERCISE helps in that.

      • Red Blood Cells carries Oxygen to the Cells,

With Aerobic Exercise your Body makes more Red Blood cells so it can transport more Oxygen to Trillions of Human Body Cells.

  • Heart beats faster and pumps blood around the body more quickly, this provides your body (especially muscles) more Oxygen
    • Now muscles have more oxygen to make more energy, this allows muscles to work harder.
  • Muscles gets Thicker when you EXERCISE, thicker muscles can contract forcefully so they don’t have to work hard (and we all know, our Heart is also a Muscle, so let’s give our “Heart” some relief(after all we have ONLY  1 of it)
  • Arteries get bigger and more stretchy when Exercise, this lowers the Blood Pressure.
  • More Capillaries form in your Muscles when Exercise; this allows oxygen to be Delivered Faster.
  • Recovery Time (RT) Reduces with consistent EXERCISE (Recovery Time: When you stop exercising, the time it takes for your heart to go back to normal.)
  • The Diaphragm and the Intercostal Muscle get stronger when you EXERCISE. These make your chest cavity larger when you Breathe-In.
    • and when you have bigger chest cavity ,more air can be taken in. This means you can get more oxygen into your Body)

Etcc……………

And Last but not the Least

  • EXERCISE can help you in Losing Weight/Fat
  • EXERCISE can help you in building a Bigger Body(where the ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER is the limit)
  •  

Maybe it’s kind of confusing (above mentioned terms), but yes these are few of the benefits from the long list of “Benefits of Exercise”.
So, let’s EXERCISE (anywhere in park, home, terrace, gym or any fitness center) but Exercise.

How much time is required for me to lose weight?

We advise to you to keep an eye on all the above mentioned things and there values.
I hate my body FAT, how should I replace it with Muscles?
Fat is not actually a bad thing to have. Human Body needs to have Fat for few reasons like o Fats provide your body with energy and provide storage spots for energy in the body o Fat helps move Vitamins A, D, E and K(Fat soluble) through Bloodstream and absorb them into body. o Fat provides insulation for body temperature regulation by filling up body's adipose tissue. o The essential fatty acids in fats also play a role in Brain Development, Blood Clotting and Managing Inflammation. o Fat forms a protective cushion for your organs etc. But Yes, on the other hand it has its Adverse effects too, which all of us know (if stored in larger amount than require). You can replace your body Fat in majorly 3 ways o Having Diet less in Fat o Having Diet High in Protein. o Having Regular Exercise
Why Muscles are good than Fat?
Actually both are good for Human Body but it’s preferable to have more of muscles because of following reasons - Muscle is denser than fat, which means it takes up less space than fat o Muscle takes up approximately four-fifths as much space o If you place 1 pound of muscle next to 1 pound of fat, the muscle would be 22% smaller in size.. - Since it is denser, muscle does weigh more than fat if you compare same-size portions. o The density of fat is 0.9 g/mL. The density of muscle is 1.1 g/mL.Using the averages, 1 liter of muscle weighs 1.06 kg, while 1 liter of fat weighs .9 kg - Muscle tissue will burn seven to 10 calories daily per pound, Fat burns two to three calories daily per pound. o Replacing 1 pound of fat with a muscle, therefore, helps you burn an additional four to six more calories each day
How do I measure my Ratio to Body Fat and Lean Muscle Mass?
- Hydrostatic weight measurement involves being weighed underwater. But submerging your body in water isn't very convenient or fun! - A bioelectrical impedance scale—or a body fat scale—is available at most sporting goods stores. When you stand on the scale, a safe, low-level electrical signal passes through your body. You can then compute the percentage of body fat based on the resistance the signal encounters as it travels through your body. - Lastly, there's the body fat caliper. This is fairly accurate and easy to do. Your local gym should be able to help you out. A personal trainer will use this caliper to take a few measurements. Through a formula and calculation, you can determine your body fat.
