Vigorous exercise reduces weight gain risk


ORLANDO, Fla., Nov. 6 (UPI) -- People who say they do about 30 minutes of jogging, bicycling or swimming a day were twice as likely to maintain a stable weight, a U.S. study found.

Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine researchers said a consistently high level of physical activity -- 30 minutes a day of vigorous activity -- from young adulthood into middle age increases the odds of maintaining a stable weight and lessens the amount of weight gained over time.

&quot;The results will hopefully encourage young people to become more active and to maintain high activity over a lifetime,&quot; Hankinson said in a statement. <a href="http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Health/2007/11/06/vigorous_exercise_reduces_weight_gain_risk/1240/">http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Health/2007/11/06/vigorous_exercise_reduces_weight_gain_risk/1240/</a>;

Like most people I live a hectic life and who has the time for much exercise? Thanks to xtracycle now I do. By using my bike for daily activities I can get things done and get an hour plus work out in 15 minutes extra of my time, not a bad deal and beats taking the extra time going to the gym. In case you are still having trouble being motivated; the National Center of Disease Control says that inactivity is the #2 killer in the United States just behind smoking. ( http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/bb_nutrition/ ) Get out there and start living life! I can carry home a full shopping cart of groceries, car pool two kids or just get lost in the great outdoors camping for a week. Well I got go, another outing this weekend.
