Does exercise increase metabolism?

DOES EXERCISE INCREASE METABOLISM

Yes, exercise does increase metabolism. Your metabolic rate is the speed at which the chemical processes of your body produce energy and growth. If you remain physically inactive, nothing much will change; your body will just stay as it is. Exercise forces your body to work harder to adapt to the exercise, which is why it increases your metabolic rate.

Cardio exercise forces (primarily) your body's cardiovascular system to work harder. Your heart and respiration rates will increase as you exercise, because your muscles are working harder so they need more fuel, including oxygen, and generate more waste products that must be transported away.

Strength training (weight training) stimulates overcompensation for the stress you have deliberately placed on your muscles, connective tissues, and skeleton. Your muscles will increase in size, your connective tissues will strengthen, and your bones will thicken.

Therefore, both cardio and strength training make your body work harder. In working harder, your body uses more energy. That increased energy is why your metabolism increases.

Does Bowflex Home Gym really work?

To answer your question, I would have to say "yes."

When I first bought the BowFlex several years ago (this was back in 2003), I was really excited, and got right into working out and getting into shape. I went on a strict diet, running over 30 mins a day (at least 2.5 miles), and eating right. I was therefore able to see great results with the BowFlew. After a while, I maybe got bored though, and even lazy (especially when consumed with other affairs and responsibilities). But I am now back to wanting to get in shape. A serious diet, and commitment, will surely help; and as such, the BowFlew will surely prove to be a great tool to reach my goal.

SO IN SHORT: the BowFlex alone isn't enough! ALTHOUGH the tool does help, you have to do the work and watch what you eat.

Why does your temperature go up during exercise?

Is it healthy to run at night?

Exercise is pretty much exercise. It will not make a difference whether you run during the night or day. It is the same to your muscles. However, at night, there are extra precautions to take, such as making sure you are visible (wear clothing with reflective properties, or even small flashing lights). Also, be sure only to run in safe, well lit areas for safety, or even take a friend along.

Your blood pressure is 98 over 63 - is this okay?

Yes, it's just fine, great even. Below 120 over 80 is a good target. Between 90 and 120 is normal for systolic and between 60 and 80 is normal for diastolic. Low blood pressure is not a problem provided that you do not have OTHER issues. Do you feel "light headed", feel like you're about to pass out or just don't have any energy? Have you been checked out lately by a doctor? If your low BP is due to low thyroid or other problems you might want to address those issues. However, if everything else is relatively normal and you just have those low numbers routinely... that's fantastic. As long as you don't feel any bad side effects and your doctor says you're ok, be delighted with those numbers.

Is concrete healthy to run on?

Concrete is fine to run on, but it is not an ideal surface. Concrete does not absorb your impact, so if you run on it all the time, you are likely to develop shin splints or knee problems. But asphalt (the road) and hard ground are little better. They don't "compress and spring back" very much more than concrete. Ideally you should run on a rubber track surface if you can. But there is good news. The key to "good running" is the selection of a good shoe and the timely replacement of it after it begins to wear out. (Just wear it to the store and the movies after "retiring" it to get more mileage.) If you have really good running shoes, they will absorb a lot of impact so you'll most likely be fine running on a sidewalk or any other surface. Be careful when running on grass or sand as well as on trails or any other uneven ground as you can be exposed to ankle injuries. Insure your running reflects consideration of your health and fitness level. You don't usually need a doctor's okay to run, but check in with your health care provider if any questions arise at all.
