What Matters at the End of the Day

By Gregg Birkner

Today, we’re going to discuss the most common reasons why people gain weight.

Now, the answer would seem to be that they are just eating too much. But let’s take a closer look at the subject! 

To understand why people become overweight it helps to know a little about energy intake and energy burned off.

To remain alive your body needs energy to power the vital functions of breathing, heartbeat, heat control, digestion and excretion. Your body needs energy to replace worn out or dying body tissues. Most of all, your body needs energy to meet all other unconscious activities that make up your resting metabolic rate.

If your body absorbs more energy from food than you expend in your daily activities, the surplus energy is stored in your body as fat. Gain too much fat and you put on weight!

It boils down to an imbalance between your intake of calories, and calories that you use up each day!

Your intake of calories represents the amount of energy in your food, as opposed to the amount of energy you burn up. So if you eat fewer calories than your body uses, you will usually lose weight.

Basically, one of the main ways to lose weight means you have to stick to a certain amount of calories and watch your fat content carefully.

You can also lose weight by doing controlled exercises like rebounding / cellercising to burn off more calories while you target the specific areas, which you want to change!

This is why the 10-minutes-a-day workout on the Cellerciser is so vitally important.

Food should be enjoyable to eat. Let’s be honest, you do not want to force yourself to stick to a strict diet regime forever to stay slim!

The keys are to change the way you eat, gradually and permanently and add rebounding on your Cellerciser to your daily routine! You must have a good healthy eating plan that will give you a good balance of foods and allow you the occasional indulgence!

Remember it’s your overall diet and daily exercise that matters at the end of the day!

Keep Cellercising!
