Fitness At Any Age

What are the recommendations for increasing fitness for youth, adults, and seniors?


There is good news for all Americans. Scientific evidence shows that physical activity done at a moderate-intensity level can produce health benefits (USDHHS, 1996). If people have been sedentary, they can improve their health and well-being with regular, moderate levels of activity each day. 
Those who participate in moderate- to vigorous-intensity activities regularly should be encouraged and supported in their efforts to continue. While activity at a higher intensity or performed longer offers more health benefits, this level of activity may not be a realistic goal for everyone, at least not to start with. Many Americans, for whom the term "exercise" brings up negative images and emotions, can celebrate the good news by setting a new personal goal-achieving and enjoying the benefits of a regularly active lifestyle that includes a variety of moderate- and/or vigorous-intensity activities.
Adults should strive to meet either of the following physical activity recommendations. See General Physical Activities Defined By Level of Intensity for a chart that lists the intensity levels of many types of activities.
  • Adults should engage in moderate-intensity physical activities for at least 30 minutes on 5 or more days of the week. 
  • Adults should engage in vigorous-intensity physical activity 3 or more days per week for 20 or more minutes per occasion 
- Healthy People 2010 
More good news is that it's never too late to start an active lifestyle. No matter how old you are, how unfit you feel, or how long you've been inactive, research shows that starting a more active lifestyle now through regular, moderate-intensity activity can make you healthier and improve your quality of life. 
This next section provides guidelines for how active you need to be to gain some benefit and general information on activity levels of Americans. 

How active do adults need to be to gain some benefit?


Physical activity does not need to be hard to provide some benefit. Participating in moderate-intensity physical activity is a vital component of a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages and abilities. There is no demographic or social group in America that could not benefit from becoming more active. 
The table* below provides recommendations on how to increase your physical activity based on your current activity level. Check it out to see where you are and how you can challenge yourself. 
If....Then...
You do not currently engage in regular physical activity,you should begin by incorporating a few minutes of physical activity into each day, gradually building up to 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity activities.
You are now active, but at less than the recommended levels,you should strive to adopt more consistent activity:
  • moderate-intensity physical activity for 30 minutes or more on 5 or more days of the week, or 
  • vigorous-intensity physical activity for 20 minutes or more on 3 or more days of the week. 
You currently engage in moderate-intensity activities for at least 30 minutes on 5 or more days of the week,you may achieve even greater health benefits by increasing the time spent or intensity of those activities.
You currently regularly engage in vigorous-intensity activities 20 minutes or more on 3 or more days of the week,you should continue to do so
So What the difference between moderate activity and vigorous activity? Moderate activity is like increased walking and vigorous activity is jogging or weight-lifting or Zumba. Vigorous activity is something you can't do every day. Your muscles have to recoup and they need 48 hours when your middle age and as much as 72 hours between workouts if you're older. You can't rush vigorous workouts because you're actually tearing down muscle tissue and it means time to recover. Moderate workouts like walking 10,000 steps is exhausting but doesn't tear down muscle tissue so you can do it more often and moderate active has been proven to be better for losing weight.

How Much Fiber should I be Eating

How to Eat 37 Grams of Fiber in a Day

I couldn't believe what I was reading. An adult male should be eating 38 grams of fiber a day. Am I crazy, or doesn't that seem like a lot. I looked it up for myself and sure enough, they had it right. And to top it off, if you're not getting enough fiber, you're not going to lose weight. Maybe that's why my weight bounds around day by day.I found this info on WebMD. it's a good source for weight loss information.

When it comes to getting enough fiber in our diets, most of us fall short. But it's easier than you think to eat the recommended daily intake. For adults 50 and younger you need 25 grams for women and 38 grams for men. This sample menu gives you 37 grams of fiber from tasty, familiar foods:
  • Breakfast: One serving of whole-grain bran flake cereal (5 grams of fiber), topped with half a sliced banana (1.5 grams of fiber) and skim milk
  • Morning snack: 24 almonds (3.3 grams of fiber) mixed with a quarter cup of raisins (1.5 grams of fiber)
  • Lunch: Turkey sandwich made with 2 slices of whole wheat bread, plus lettuce, and tomato (5 grams of fiber total), and an orange (3.1 grams of fiber)
  • Afternoon snack: Yogurt topped with half a cup of blueberries (2 grams of fiber)
  • Dinner: Grilled fish served alongside a salad made with romaine lettuce and shredded carrots (2.6 grams of fiber), plus half a cup of cooked spinach (2.1 grams of fiber), and half a cup of lentils (7.5 grams of fiber)
  • After-dinner treat: 3 cups popped popcorn (3.5 grams of fiber)

This might sound a little restrictive but this is meant to give you some ideas.
Fiber helps you manage your weight, lowers cholesterol, keeps your bowel movements regular, and reduces your odds of getting diabetes and heart disease. So check food labels and choose "high fiber" foods -- which contain more than 5 grams of fiber per serving -- whenever possible. Consider fiber supplements if you continually fall short of getting what you need through what you eat. Examples include psyllium and methylcellulose.
You can also make simple substitutions to replace low-fiber foods with fiber-rich dishes. You can find fiber food charts on the internet.

Losing Weight Doesn't Have To Cost Money

You don't have to spend money to lose weight. You might even save some money. It’s a misconception that you need to sign up with some weight loss program and a health club if you’re going to lose weight. Don’t believe it. You can do any workout you need at home, but where you will save the money is in the food. Yes, good food cost money, more than cheap food that has no nutrition. This is a point to always remember; cheap food or snack food has no nutritional value. And the idea is to spend your money on food that will give you all the nutrition you need. Just in case you didn’t take a health class in school, Google nutrition, it tells you that the food you eat will keep you healthy, keep you from getting sick all the time and definitely save you on doctor bills. That’s the whole idea of eating; to give your body the nutrition to keep going. Only buy what you need and if you have the time shop every day and just buy exactly what you need for the day. This isn’t a new concept, people in most countries shop this way. In most countries food is all natural, that’s all you can buy. I’m saying most not all, but in most countries, people don’t make as much money and for them food is expensive and so to save money people shop for food every day, sometimes even twice or three times daily. Some countries refrigeration isn’t the same and many homes have very small refrigerators.
When you eat food that is high in nutrition, that’s the things your body needs to function properly, you don’t need as much food. Now when you first start changing your program and start eating healthy, you’re going to feel like you’re not full. If you’ve read my earlier posts I talk about changing your lifestyle. When you’re eating remember that you only need enough to get through the next three hours. I personally had to go to 5 or 6 meals a day; it depends on your schedule. I would eat a small meal every three hours. I’d start at 7 a.m. and then a small snack at 10 like a yogurt cup, a small lunch at 1 p.m., and then snack again at 4, and then dinner at 7 p.m. Never eat or even consume calories 3 hours before you go to bed. I know you’ve heard that before, but that’s because your metabolism slows down at night and when you lie down it almost totally stops so your body can change functions and begin to repair itself. So what I’m getting at is that your body is barely burning calories at night then first thing in the morning you need to jump-start your metabolism again.
You can’t take this for granted; you have to consciously make the decision to do this. Eating small meals every three hours gives you those three hours to burn those calories. And don’t skip a meal because you’re not hungry. A meal doesn’t mean you have to sit down and eat. It could be a cup of yogurt and a piece of fruit at your desk. The problem with eating just three meals is that you always eat more calories than you burn and so your body stores all those extra calories and so you end up gaining weight. It’s not always enough to notice but after a week you might be 1 or 2 pounds heavier. You can cut down the quantity of your three meals but you’ll complain about starving yourself. And even if you can handle starvation, you’ll shut down your metabolism and you won’t burn any calories.
Once you get used to your new routine you’ll save money on food, and you will be eating less.
Today food shopping is so time-consuming with reading all those labels and trying to stay on your budget that shopping every day is actually much easier and remember when you buy fresh fruit and vegetables there are no labels to read. And when you buy meat, 4 oz. of protein a day is all that’s required for your diet. Buy white meat not red, fish, pork or breast of turkey or chicken. Dried beans are better than canned and you can prepare several days worth at one time and refrigerate them. Use them hot as a side dish at dinner or cold in a salad. So most of the foods you’re going to buy don't require much work. Potatoes and pasta are o.k. but be careful what you add to them. That’s where all the calories are; in the add on’s. Butter is o.k. but in small quantities, and use real butter, no sour cream or those imitation produces. Small amounts of pasta are o.k. but don’t buy those jar sauces. Normally I don’t buy can foods, but can tomatoes are the exception. When you’re making a sauce for pasta canned tomatoes are better than fresh, just my opinion, they’re always ripe and I think they have more flavor.
Vegetables including fixing for salads, remember that salad dressings will get you into trouble. When you’re home I use a little olive oil and wine vinegar in moderation. There are other healthy alternatives like lemon juice. You can look up recipes on the web. You don't want to drink calories or make or buy gravies or sauces to put over your food. You don't have to eat hot meals every day. I try not to eat hot meals in the summer, ever.
 I’ve probably forgotten a few things, but you get the idea. You don’t want to buy anything man-made or anything made with processed ingredients like white flour. Try this kind of diet using these types of foods and you won’t have to starve yourself.

Why Are Two-Thirds Of Americans Overweight?

America Loves Fast Food

News Picture: America Loves Fast Food

Latest Nutrition, Food & Recipes News

Americans love fast food -- even if they can afford meals that aren't prepackaged in grease-resistant wrappers, according to a new study. Is it any wonder so many of us have a weight problem. This blog post will give you the truth about America's overweight problem. It's no wonder health care costs are sky-rocketing. This blog post first appeared on Medicinenet.com. 
The study found that Americans of all economic classes eat fast food. Middle-income Americans are the most likely to eat fast food, but only by a slight margin from other income groups. Even the wealthiest Americans admit to eating fast food, trailing other groups by just a bit, the researchers said.
"It's not mostly poor people eating fast food in America," said study co-author Jay Zagorsky, a research scientist at Ohio State University's Center for Human Resource Research.
"Rich people may have more eating options, but that's not stopping them from going to places like McDonald's or KFC," he said in a university news release.
The study included information from a national survey. The researchers zeroed in on roughly 8,000 people who were questioned about their weekly fast food intake in 2008, 2010 and 2012.
The participants, who were all middle-aged, were asked how many times they had eaten food from a fast food restaurant, such as McDonald's, KFC or Taco Bell, in the past seven days.
The answers were then compared to questions about their wealth and income. The study found that the fondness for fast food transcends economic classes and is shared by rich and poor alike.
Overall, the researchers found that 79 percent of the participants ate fast food at least once a week. Twenty-three percent ate fast food three or more times during any one of the weeks examined in the study.
The researchers noted that people whose income fluctuated dramatically in either direction didn't change their eating habits. "If you became richer or poorer, it didn't change how much fast food you ate," Zagorsky said.
Income may not have influenced the participants' fast food habits, but their schedules did. The researchers found those who opted for fast food tended to have less free time and were more likely to work longer hours than those who didn't rely on fast food for their meals.
Some of those polled admitted to eating all of their meals at fast food restaurants.
The study's authors said the respondents didn't reveal what they ordered from the fast food restaurants. Some people may have eaten salads or other healthier menu items.
Since all of the people included in the study were middle-aged, the study doesn't reflect differences in fast food intake among people of other age groups.
Still, the researchers suggested their findings could help health officials develop strategies to curb the obesity epidemic and guide Americans to follow a healthy diet.
"If government wants to get involved in regulating nutrition and food choices, it should be based on facts," said Zagorsky. "This study helps reject the myth that poor people eat more fast food than others and may need special protection."
When I was working in an office all day, I'd say that 90% of the office workers would eat fast food mainly because of the convenience.

Bare With Me, This Does Have Something To Do Weight Loss

I read a news article Yesterday about the most important jobs in 10 years. In 10 years many jobs that people do today will be done with robots. That's not new, we all knew that, but what we didn't know was that this guy was talking about white collar jobs like engineering and programming. Many jobs like writing code for programs will be done better by robots.
The jobs of the future and the ones that pay the most will be the jobs that involve new ideas. The one thing that computers accomplished was to speed up the timeline. By that, I mean that what used to take a decade to develop, will now take a matter of months.
So, what does all of this have to do with weight loss? Just because medical science has "weight loss" on the back burner doesn't mean that new and safer methods for burning fat won't spring up. The newest and fastest way I found worked for me in a matter of months. Interval training is high-speed exercise done in spurts like sprinting for 100 yards, then jogging for 100 yards, then sprinting another 100 yards and then jogging 100 yards and repeating that 8 or 10 times. For those who have knee problems, you can do the same routine on a stationary bike.
I lost my body fat by simply doing this every day for a few months and following a low-fat diet with no meat and no processed foods. Seafood and white meat poultry, fruits and vegetables. I would eat several small meals and snack on nuts and berries. I never felt hungry and the fat melted off. Stick to this fresh food diet and you don't have to count calories.
Don't worry about the scale, you want to lose inches. Measure yourself once a week. I would measure and weight every Friday morning, first thing before I showered or ate. Because I believe in a big breakfast and smaller meals the rest of the day, I would exercise in the morning. I believe you have to jump-start your metabolism early to burn the most fat.
I want to warn you about the advertising products or meals that make claims of weight loss. It's possible that you might find something that would work for you, but you should discuss anything like that with your doctor first. Most products only work on some people and your doctor will explain the side effects. Meal plans are safer but you still have to exercise and the portions are small.
The best way I found, was just stop eating the things you eat now. Start eating fresh, healthy food. Stop drinking calories. Empty calories are only filler and can't be used by your body. Filler like chips or white bread will only be stored as fat.
If you really want to lose your body fat than look for my e-books at the websites listed below. You'll get information on Healthy eating, exercise, and diet. Instead of spending hours on the internet reading dozens of posts, you can save time by picking up one of my e-books.

Why Do I Gain Weight So Easily?

Do you feel like you gain weight just looking at food? You're not alone. Many struggling dieters wonder, "why do I gain weight so easily?" and "why do I keep gaining weight?"  You may feel like you are doing everything right with your diet and exercise plan, making these questions even more frustrating. I understand. And I've dealt with the same questions.

Why Do I Keep Gaining Weight?
It's not uncommon to have friends who can eat anything and stay thin as a rail.

Almost anyone with a weight problem knows someone who makes them simply green with envy. You know who I'm talking about—that person who seems to just eat endless amounts of food but never seems to gain a pound. It's so frustrating.  And it's especially hard if that person eats all the foods you love but you know you have to avoid them.

The bottom line is that it makes me feel bad. And it makes me want to blame someone. Sound familiar? If so, what do you say to yourself to make it all better?

It often feels like I gain weight just looking at food. In fact, I've even said it out loud. This outcry usually happens as I watch a skinny person eat a donut while I munch away on a stalk of celery. If I think this way makes me feel better for a moment, but deep down I know that it's simply not true.

So what is the truth? The truth is that there are real reasons that some people are thin and some people aren't.

Why Do I Gain Weight Easily?

It's very difficult to know the exact reasons why some people gain weight so easily while others seem to be immune to weight gain. They eat whatever they want while I eat almost nothing and get bigger. Of course, restraining yourself while you watch others indulge can be maddening.

And it can also make you feel hopeless.

But the truth is, my weight will always come down to my own eating choices and exercise habits. And yours does too. Fair or not, weight gain and weight loss is unique from person to person and always will be. But it's important to face the truth. It's not about feeling ashamed. It's more about creating hope.

Stop Weight Gain and Feel Better Today

If I want to stop getting mad, put an end to the frustration and stop gaining weight so easily, I need to look at each situation differently. And you can, too. We can take a moment to consider the skinny donut eater in a different light. Perhaps that person makes it a habit to exercise extra hard every day. Or maybe they have a "cheat" day now and again, but the rest of the time they eat healthy calorie-controlled meals.

And remember, metabolism greatly affects a person's tendency to lose or gain weight. Changing your metabolism is harder than changing your eating and exercise habits. You can strive to achieve a skinny person's eating habits or fitness level, but you just can't make their metabolism yours.

There are some factors in weight gain we simply have no control over. But there are others that we can change.

There are hormones that affect hunger and metabolism. We can't control those. But I can make the healthiest choices possible when I eat. And I can exercise to feel good about my body, not just to lose weight.  Then if I still gain weight easily, I know that I'm doing the best that I can for my health and well-being.

The change in perspective may not change my weight, but then again, it just might. If nothing else, it can make me feel better about my body and my weight...at any size.

I'll be frank about my weight loss journey. I was 220 pounds, now I'm 157.  When I was over 200 pounds It was very hard to lose weight. It takes energy to burn fat and if you are overweight and have too much fat your energy is being used to maintain body functions. You might be using twice the energy necessary to maintain the average size body. That just for your heart, blood flow, and the strength to keep your body moving. You may not have enough left-over energy to burn fat.

Now that I lost all my fat, my body burns way more calories than before and I don't have to watch what I eat. Of course, I'm smaller now, and I eat less and stay full. My body is working at 100% efficiency. Before I was probably at 60% percent. Your body should be burning up your body fat as you eat. But by carrying around a lot of extra weight, your body has to slack off on some of your body functions so the body isn't working at peak efficiency any longer.

Losing body fat should be your goal. Read up on weight loss and losing body fat. It doesn’t cost money to lose weight. The internet is full of free information.

But the quickest way and cheapest way is to buy an ebook online and get everything you need in one short read. I have two ebooks on Amazon:

Is Salmon Good For Weight Loss?


Salmon is often touted as a healthy fish to add to your diet. But does that mean it’s good for weight loss? I’m Hungry Girl Lisa Lillien, and I’m investigating the claim that salmon can help you drop pounds.

Let’s start with an overview of the claims about salmon as a weight loss tool.
One common claim is that salmon's omega-3 fatty acids can help you lose weight. Omega-3s are known to stimulate leptin production in the body.
And leptin, a protein hormone, has been shown to regulate appetite and metabolism. This study found that when leptin levels fall, signals are sent to the brain to increase feeding and burn fewer calories; but when they rise again, the signals are reversed. And monounsaturated fats, in general, have been shown to aid weight loss.

The fish is also packed with protein, a nutrient that’s linked to weight loss. One study found that a high-protein diet can be a metabolism booster, and this study revealed the positive effects of protein on appetite suppression. 
(Another food that’s full of protein and good for weight loss? Almonds!)

Here’s my take on the claims:
Salmon doesn’t have magical fat-burning properties, but it’s definitely a smarter choice than a lot of other foods. All the protein and healthy fats will help fill you up and keep you satisfied. I’m a big believer in eating lots of protein when you’re trying to lose weight!
But it’s important to watch your portions when you’re chowing down on salmon because the calories add up fast. Depending on the variety, a 4-oz. serving of salmon has 215-260 calories and 10-15g fat. Keep in mind, most restaurants serve portions that are twice as large. So keep your eye on the amount you eat, and keep any sauces or toppings on the light side or skip them completely.
A squeeze of lemon is all it needs! And pair it with steamed veggies or another low-calorie side. 
Create a scoopable salad. Sometimes, you need a break from chicken and tuna salads. Replace ‘em with canned or pouched salmon! Try StarKist Salmon Creations — portion-controlled and delicious. Or mix plain flaked salmon with fat-free Greek yogurt, creamy Dijon mustard, and a squirt of lemon juice; then mix in some chopped cucumber, red onion, and capers. Season to taste, and serve over greens. YUM!
Throw it on the grill. There’s nothing better than a perfectly grilled piece of salmon. 

Overall, seafood is a better choice than meat. You can get protein from many different sources, you don't need to eat meat every day.

I write several blogs and e-books, check out some of my other sites.
