Exercise every 48 hours • 16.09.09
Well done for accepting that you might need to make a lifestyle change and deciding to lose weight and be healthier. Exercise is so good for you as it strengthens your heart and releases endorphins and serotonin – happy hormones! Roll up, roll up! Can’t say fairer than that!
Now you have made the first step towards a healthier and slimmer life, you need to consider: how often should you exercise?
It is advised that you exercise for thirty minutes every 48 hours. But why?
Exercise should enhance your life, it shouldn’t have to become your life. By planning to exercise every 48 hours it means that you can relax over your free weekend and get on with those plans you have made to go away for a dirty weekend with your partner (yay!) or if you have to dutifully visit your dear old great aunt 150 miles away from where you live.
Also, exercising for just thirty minutes every 48 hours will keep your metabolism working hard long after you’ve had a shower to wash all that lovely sweat away. If your metabolism is working hard, you will continue to burn calories more effectively for longer. Think of your metabolism like a person, the less you do, the lazier it becomes!
So here we go, another top tip: exercise every 48 hours to keep your metabolism up so you burn the calories you eat more effectively.
