Calories And Muscles A Close Connection

October 14, 2008


Churning the muscles and burning out those extra calories is the first thing that comes into the mind of a person looking out to achieve the perfect body shape. With a little patience and understanding of the muscle calorie connection one could successfully embark on the journey to fulfilling this desire.

Aggressive calorie cut may backfire

Metabolic processes, the process which is a perfect balance between the calorie creating (anabolic) and calorie destructive (catabolic) process does not undergo a paradigm shift which an individual expects to while doing a major diet reduction. If you decide on a dietary regimen to reduce calorie intake then a few points of advice are worth taking a note before making a final plunge.

Slow and steady wins the race

It is always better to start with a small cut down in calorie intake starting with a 10-15% in the first one to two weeks.

Starvation does not lead to a fit body

Do not starve yourself, it is always better to take small, low energy meals throughout the day, it doesn’t mean that one should go on eating all throughout; it is just that the person should avoid eating heavy meals and fulfil the energy demands of bodily machinery without consuming too much fuel.

Indulge into mild exercise ensuring maximum muscle movements

Exercise your muscles, muscles are the energy storehouse as well as calorie burning furnace accounting to 90% of the energy losses of the body. Indulge into exercises involving muscular movements in short intervals, this ensures calorie loss as well as fitness.

More muscle contraction ensures more calorie loss

In order to ensure rapid calorie loss, focus on contracting the muscles faster, rapid muscular movements are the key to burning out calories at a faster rate.

Dance to the music

A very good way of using the calorie muscle connection to have a healthy body is to get on to the dance floor and do a bit of body moving, hip shaking adventure, dancing not only relaxes the muscles but also burns the extra amount without making one feel bored or tired.
