Exercises to Maintain Your Weight

To maintain or lose weight, it is essential to keep some simple numbers in mind. The number of calories you take in through food has to be equal to the number of calories expended. The number of calories used up by the body is equal to your BMR added to the number of calories spent on daily activities and exercises. Here it is:

Total calorie intake = BMR + Total calories expended on activities

When this happens, weight remains stable.

Most people who lose weight do so through a combination of dieting and exercise. But, once they reach their target weight, the above formula gets derailed. The first thing to go out of the window is the diet. In most cases, exercise follows suit. As a result, excess calories pile up and bodyweight shoots up.

Exercises are your best bet when it comes to maintaining your new weight. Exercise burns calories and builds muscles. It keeps the bones healthy. Most of all, it helps to keep the above formula in balance, even if you were to cheat a little on your diet.

So, what particular exercises can help you maintain weight? Truth is, just about anything and everything that burns a good number of calories. So, every time you take a brisk walk, climb stairs, clean your house or break into a jig, you are burning calories. So, for those who hate to hit the gym, there are methods of exercise right at home.

That said, there are certain exercises that are easy to do and help burn calories effectively. These include strenuous walking, jogging and swimming. These are all aerobic exercises, which when performed for half an hour or more everyday help you burn excess calories.

Another form of exercise that is perhaps harder to do but yields better results is what is called high intensity interval training. Here, aerobic exercises are performed at high intensities for regular periods of time. High intensity rounds alternate with regular rounds so that the body has some time to rest and return to normalcy. These exercises help build muscle faster and burn more calories, in the same period of time.

Whatever kind of exercise you prefer, know that exercises are a vital part of weight maintenance. Without exercises, it is difficult to maintain your weight in a healthy manner.
