Weight - male or female.

[Guest guest]

Put simply, there are three kinds of exercise which are needed to keep fit.

 

1. An hour a day of steady burn as comes from brisk walking

2. Twice a week a challenge on all muscles as might be achieved in a

gymnasium in a 75 minute session.

3. Some brief muscle stress every hour or so for just about a minute.

Flexing muscles or lifting or walking up stairs will do for this.

 

That with raw food and the results should be shattering.

Peter this is an excellent point. It took me a while to realize that

the scale is a liar. Scale weight is not as important as muscle to

fat ratios. Often those who appear too small are simply lacking

muscle. The only way to increase muscle mass is through

exercise...preferably weight training, though there are other

exercise choices which will increase muscle mass. Contrary to what

many believe....weight training does not cause women to bulk and

appear masculine, it does just the opposite. It's possible to change

your entire body shape and size while weight training without the

scale ever budging. Lili

What's great about fitness is that there are so many different ways

to do it. I agree that there are basic exercises we all need, and

although our fitness regimes may differ, if we combine those core

exercises with a raw vegan lifestyle we can't go wrong. Lili

 

p.s. Rest is also extremely important regardless of the training

program we follow.
