STUDY: Once You Start To Exercise, You Cannot Stop!
According to a new study, the consequences of quitting exercise may be
greater than previously thought. Results showed that the weight gained during an exercise hiatus can be tough to shed when exercise is resumed at a later date. The study, conducted by Paul Williams of Berkeley Lab's Life Sciences Division, found that the key to staying trim is to remain active year-round, year-after-year, and to avoid seasonal and irregular exercise patterns. Most of all, don't quit. Failure to do so may be a contributing factor in the nation's obesity epidemic. "The price to pay for quitting exercise is higher than expected, and this price may be an important factor in the obesity epidemic affecting Americans," says Williams. The study should prompt people to think twice before taking a break from their exercise regimens, despite the pressures of family and work obligations, or waning motivation. http://www.diabetesincontrol.com/res...ryarticle=5486 |

Eventually the subsequent weight loss tasks become more difficult. So you see the same similarity in appearance of the phenomena? Stopping and restarting something healthy ends up making the subsequent health progress more difficult. |

BASIC SCIENCES Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. 40(2):296-302, February 2008. WILLIAMS, PAUL T. Abstract: Purpose: Although increases and decreases in physical activity are known to cause weight loss and weight gain, respectively, it is not known whether the magnitudes of these changes in weight are equal. Unequal (asymmetric) weight changes could contribute to overall weight gain or loss among individuals with seasonal or irregular activity. Methods: Changes in adiposity were compared with the running distances at baseline and follow-up in men and women whose reported exercise increased (N = 4632 and 1953, respectively) or decreased (17,280 and 5970, respectively) during 7.7 yr of follow-up. Results: Per km/week decreases in running distance caused more than four times greater weight gain between 0 and 8 km/week (slope +/- SE, males: -0.068 +/- 0.005 kg/meter/meter; females: -0.080 +/- 0.01 kg/meter/meter) than between 32 and 48 km/week (-0.017 +/- 0.002 and -0.010 +/- 0.005 kg/meter/meter). In contrast, increases in running distance produced the smallest weight losses between 0 and 8 km/week and statistically significant weight loss only above 16 km/week. Above 32 km/week (30 kcal/kg) in men and 16 km/week (15 kcal/kg) in women, weight loss from increasing exercise was equal to or greater than weight gained from decreasing exercise; otherwise, weight gain exceeded weight loss. Conclusion: Weight gained because of reductions in weekly exercise below 30 kcal/kg in men and 15 kcal/kg in women may not be reversed by resuming prior activity. Current IOM guidelines (i.e., maintain total energy expenditure at 160% of basal) agree with the men's exercise threshold for symmetric weight change with changing exercise levels. Asymmetric weight changes below this threshold may contribute to weight gain among less-active subjects.

I've been looking for an excuse to not start exercising, and this seems perfect! ;-D --- Peter |

Haha, Ok, well , a great six pack of abs is something everybody

The problem about getting abs is that people lose motivation and dont realize that the true success to getting abs is through patience and persistencce I made a blog at www.superrippedabs.blogspot.com to help people get the abs they want. I really hope the blog and the programs in it is a great help to you. |
