Moderate and vigorous intensity

Knowing the difference between these two can help you understand the amount of calories you are burning with your current workout program. The intensity of your physical activity naturally varies on your goal. If your goal is just to manage body weight and minimize possible weight gain, a 60 minute or an hour of moderate intensity physical activity daily is advisable. You only need at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity daily if your goal is only to reduce risk of chronic diseases. To maintain weight loss would require at least 60 to 90 minutes moderate intensity daily. Remember that for greater benefits you are not to exceed calorie needs. You may obtain optimum benefits by engaging in longer duration or performing vigorous physical activity.

Moderate intensity physical activity means that you are still able to talk and carry a conversation amidst fast breathing as such as brisk walking, stretching and biking at casual pace. Vigorous would mean you are breathing too fast and finds it difficult to carry a conversation as such as jogging, running, swimming, jumping rope and other sports like basketball. Maintain your ideal weight, obtain really curvy body curvatures and look sexy and slim by increasing active time. Make your workout program a real program that works by making it part of your daily or weekly routine. Walking offers a great way to become active. You may break up your daily activity into segments of time but not shorter than 10 minutes for each short sessions. Start slow until you are able to set up your pace and synchronize your schedule. Physical activity offers you more than health benefits - it makes you sexy and attractive!
