I would say that playing a sport, or a very active game, is a great way to keep in shape.\n\nIt not only helps to keep you in shape, but it allows you the opportunity to build your social skills such as teamwork and sportsmanship.\n\nIf it's a team sport, it also allows you to learn how to cooperate with others and it may even bring you some newfound friends.\n\nHope that this helps.\n\nBuddhadan

Depending on what they eat, eating small frequent meals is the way to stay in shape. This can give the appearance of eating all the time and not putting on weight. This is also good for the metabolism.

Depends how active you have been. How much muscle you have burned off through weight loss.etc. Of course you know that once you lose enough calories. Your body starts to take muscle for energy. That would be bad thing. Just not doing enough your muscles will adjust to lower weight. That is another thing. I am sure since you are experienced that you would be able to get in shape faster due to your knowledge and experience and im guessing success with weights. Good Luck with it!\n\n-Brad

It has several benifits.  If you are attempting to lose weight it helps protect the muscle tissue from being burned for energy, so that you are more likely to lose weight by burning fat.  It also helps keep your muscles from getting sore after a hard workout.  In addition it has been shown to boost growth hormone.

Believe  it or not exercise gives you a lot of energy.\n\nThe term "aerobic" means "with air" or "with oxygen." Aerobic exercise uses muscles in a rhythmical and continuous fashion. It is any physical exercise that requires additional effort by the heart and lungs to meet the increased demand by the skeletal muscles for oxygen. Over time, heart and lung efficiency is improved with regular participation in aerobic activity. \n\nAerobic exercise training also:\n\nincreases the body's energy level \nburns fat calories \nlowers blood pressure and \nhelps the body tolerate stress better \nFitness through regular aerobic exercise greatly reduces the risk of getting lifestyle diseases such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and high blood pressure. Get moving if you want to be healthy, fit, and trim. \n\nExamples of aerobic exercise include walking, hiking, swimming, jogging, bicycling, aerobic dancing, and cross country skiing. \n\nAlmost any exercise can be aerobic and produce systemic benefits if it: \n\nlasts at least 30 minutes without stopping \ngets you breathing deeply but not out of breath and \nuses the muscles primarily in the legs \nAdults should get at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise most days of the week, preferably daily. (Children need at least 60 minutes a day.) Doing less than this will minimize your health benefits. Moderate aerobic exercise is generally defined as requiring about as much energy as walking 2 miles in 30 minutes. \n\nCheck with your healthcare provider before you start an exercise program. Choose activities that you enjoy and that are readily accessible.

Why don't you want to exercise?  If you are serious about being healthy, you have to exercise.  Exercising will help build your good cholesterol levels to counteract the bad cholesterol levels.  Also, you don't want to lose weight and have extra flabby skin, you need to tone up your muscles as you lose weight or you won't be happy with the way you look!

the feeling of having a six pack and females all over you looking at it and wanting to feel it and walking around with wifebeaters or no shirt on hot days and being confident is way better than the feeling of eating a snickers or fried foods.When I run on the treadmill i keep a picture of an extremely heavy person right next to me,if I feel like stopping I just glance at that picture and it keeps me going.having someone to workout with is great motivation too because they are relying on you to workout with them,so you have to follow through.Working out with your girl can be cool to because she'll be in awe of your strength,it is good time together also,most girls love working out.If you go to the gym there are tons and tons of females to look at and meet.\nI'm vegan also so that helps me stick to a healthy diet,but it doesn't even feel like I'm on a diet because I'm eating the foods I would be eating anyways.Hope that helps.

Any exercise makes you healthier as long as you are eating healthy and drinking plenty of water. There is no science just plain old fashion maths. Energy in needs to be less than energy out and hence you have weight loss. If you want to be healthy cardio activity is a great start. \n\nIt increases stamina, increases fitness levels, reduces body fat, leans muscules. \n\nIf you want to do this it is for life so you need to totally change your way of eating and exercising. This is not a diet rather than a healthy eating plan for life. So no more talking diet cause it means time limit. \n\nHere are the golden rules: \nInitially cut down to 1200 calories. \nExercise 6 times per week for 1 hours a day. Do three weight sessions and three cardio sessions. No gym involved. \nDon't eat carbs after 4pm, never eat carbs within 2 hours of exercise or within 1 hour of exercise. \nDrink 3 litres of water per day. You can have a green tea at the end of the day. \nLimit your fruit in take to 2 pieces per day. \nNever eat dinner after 6pm.\nAdopt of low GI eating plan this is sustainable for life!\nMake low fat dairy choices \n\nFollow this menu plan as a suggestion: \nBreakfast 7am - 1 cup hot water w lemon\n20 minutes later have a bowel of oats w water (no honey) OR\nfruit salad w low GI soy yogurt\nSnack 10am - pear or apple (both low GI)\nLunch 12.30pm - muligrain sandwich w 50g tuna & salad (no butter)\nSnack 3pm - low GI yogurt OR skim berry smoothie (no honey or banana) plenty of ice, 1/2 cup skim milk & 1/4 cup yogurt\nDinner 5.30pm - 120g grilled lean meat/fish/prawns/tofu patties (not fried) w spinach salad & mixed vegies (no whites, carbs) OR 3 egg white/soy omlette with ham, cheese and tomato\nSnack - 1 scoop of low cal low fat ice cream (if hungry)\n\nExercise is must be intense. Refer to www.bodybuilding.com for your weights routine. Never do weights two consecutive days have a cardio day in between. \n\nCardio needs to include running, go hard up stair wells and cycling. You get the most benefits from exercise when your body is totally fatigued and this is when you see changes. \n\nTo maintain you can increase calories to 1500 and reduce exercise sessions to 3-4 times per week. If weight creeps up again due to holiday period etc.. go back to 1200 cal and 6 sessions again. \n\nGood luck it worked for me it can work for anyone.
