Lose weight with the moveguard training companion
When doing sports, more calories are burned than when being inactive. The amount of calories burned during the day depends on the individual constitution of each person. If you want to lose weight, the body fat should be reduced, whereas the muscle percentage should be increased so that more calories are burned.
The optimal calorie intake
Your calorie consumption at rest is known as your resting metabolic rate. Under exertion, it is known as your active metabolic rate. Both can be determined individually. However, only few people know how high their daily average calorie requirements actually are. That is why many people are not able to meet the optimal calorie intake. This often results in a too high calorie intake and the body is not able to metabolise the surplus calories. The consequence is an increasing body weight. Therefore, it is important not to take in more calories than your body is able to metabolise.
Lose weight with exercise and healthy nutrition
The human metabolism and its calorie consumption can be easily influenced by exercise. That is why a marathon runner burns at rest more calories than an untrained person. Consequently, we can assume that regular exercise results in an adjustment of the metabolism to the conditions. The same effect occurs when a person is on a diet but not doing sports. During a diet, the body switches to a “standby mode” and reduces its energy consumption. If a person stops to diet, it can result in a “yo-yo effect”. Studies have shown that after diets many people are affected by the “yo-yo effect” and gain weight again. In some cases they even exceed their starting weight. However, a combination of diet or dietary change and moderate exercise can maintain or increase the resting and active metabolic rate and the calorie consumption.
Which sport to lose weight?
Various scientific studies in the fields of sports medicine and sports science have shown that endurance sports are very effective to lose weight. It is important that the amount of exercise is calculated individually for each person. This is the only way to ensure optimal fat burning and maintenance or increase of metabolism.
