We all know the importance of physical fitness, but as well we should know how important is to have as many reasons to start doing sports. If exercise is boring, you won’t wish to continue. If you don’t plan to do movement, you'll notice that you’ll never find time for sports and you'll private yourself from the importance of physical fitness in a human's life.Scoring all exercise sessions that you do over a period could help. If you skip a day without sports, that does not mean you will gain 7 pounds, but be aware whenever skipping exercise sessions. Remember, exercise gives you more energy and you get better results if you obey a long-term sports program.

Is there a pulse rate which will help us lose weight? There is much controversy about the answer to this question. Many people say that a pulse during moderate exercise practice is best for losing weight. But the many others say that a high heart rate during exercise will have the best effect.



People who make an effort with moderate to weak pulse so that they may lose weight, they are trying to keep the pulse within certain limits during sports practice. Limits would be up to 60-70% of maximum heart rate.

Age will determine the correct range. Here's an example for a person of 22 years.
1. Maximum pulse rate = 220 - age. For a person of 22 years, maximum heart rate is 198.
2. 198 x 0.60 = 119, the minimum limit.
3. 220 x .70 = 154, maximum.



The logic of the theory is based on how it uses oxygen. To burn fat, your body needs oxygen. So, if you do sports at a level too high at some point you will not breath as much (you could barely talk) and you will not have enough oxygen in the body. So you will not burn fat effectively, you burn mostly sugar that is stored in muscle. If you keep the pulse in that time, most of the fat calories are burned.

These people believe that if the sugar resource is empty from the muscles, muscle volume will drop when it will provide energy. Decreased muscle volume is the last thing you want when you want to increase your muscle mass.

This approach seems common sense, but before taking a decision would be good to analyze and the other approach. People who want to lose weight on a high pulse to pulse maintain their 80-85% of maximum heart rate. Lets resumed calculation:
1. Maximum pulse rate = 220 - age. For a person of 22 years, maximum heart rate is 198.
2. 198 x 0.80 = 158, the minimum limit.
3. 198 x 0.85 = 168, maximum.
According to this approach, the largest amount of fat for a person 22 years will burn to a pulse of between 158 - 168.

So what is the logic if muscles burn mostly sugar? People who approach this style of exercise will burn calories in general; this is the most important thing for them. They say that although the number of calories burned from fat is lower, however, is greater than the number of calories burned at a lower heart rate. Eventually, these people think that if you do not burn sugar stored in muscle, your body will store extra sugar in the next meal as fat.
