HOW TO REDUCE BODY WEIGHT

                                           These few steps helps in weight reductions


Step aerobics is an effective workout because it gets right down to the reason that people gain weight and become heavier than they want to: body fat accumulated from taking in too many calories. As you work out by way of step aerobics, you're actively increasing the amount of calories that your body burns; as you do so, you're making sure that your body begins to burn its stored fat. What's great about step aerobics is that the stored body fat it burns is also that pesky and annoying ring of fat around your stomach, long the subject of frustration in people of all ages. You also get a small bonus when you do step aerobics: parts of your body are also developed and shaped. The muscles in your upper as well as lower body get worked out.
  Length of Time Needed to Burn Fat Step aerobics are an effective way of burning your stored body fat and also, consequently, burning off calories that you take in. 450 calories are burned off in a 45-minute session of step aerobics. Imagine the implications that this holds. In just less than an hour, you're burning off almost half a thousand calories, allowing you to eat a corresponding amount of calories for that day without weight gain being a problem. Since step aerobics is also enjoyable due to the fact that it is often practiced in a communal group setting, the time you spend doing it will seem more like recreation than actual exercise.
  Derivative Benefits of Step Aerobics Step aerobics is so great because it leads to the improvement of health in other ways besides weight control through calorie-burning. When you lose fat through this exercise, you are less likely to succumb to illnesses that being overweight carries with it, such as heart disease and other effects from obesity. Because vigorous exercising leads to the release of endorphins in your brain, step aerobics also has mental health benefits in that it betters your mood.
Exercise correctly to optimize weight loss If you are going to use exercise for weight loss, consider a weight bearing exercise. It has been my experience that non-weight bearing exercises, like swimming and bicycling, are not as efficient or effective for weight loss. You will typically need to exercise four times as long in these activities to receive the same benefit of running or using the elliptical. Since most of us are seriously pressured for time, these exercises become less practical.. Additionally, to maximize your weight loss efforts, make sure you include high-intensity interval exercises in your program (see segment on anaerobic training above) and strength training.
  Swim, but avoid chlorinated pools Swimming is one of the best exercises on the planet, working all your major muscles, but it poses the challenge of exposing you to the large amounts of chlorine that are in most swimming pools. The chlorine in most pools is readily absorbed through your skin and can contribute to major disruptions in your biochemistry. Your body is very good at metabolizing many things, but dioxins (a byproduct of chlorine) and other organochlorine compounds aren't included. Even if you are exposed to very low levels, dioxins accumulate in your body. The cumulative effects of dioxin in humans have been linked to:
