Benefits of Gentle Exercise At Mudgeeraba GymFor many people starting out on an exercise program, the idea of an intenseive workout is very off-putting.

It’s a good idea to start out gently, particularly for older people.

A low intensity exercise regime, which is where your heart rate is around 60% of its maximum potential, is inefficient for anything other than gradual weight loss,

You won’t boost your metabolisim, or see any significant increase in muscle mass, and there’ll be little improvement in strength and endurance

By working out more intensely, and pushing your haeart rate upto 75%, you’ll find a better increase in your health

Heart rate is determined by subtracting your currentage away from 220. So a 50 year old should have a maximum heart rate of around 170 beats per minute

Gentle exercise, or low intensity workouts are great for warming up and cooling down. They’re beneficial for elderly people, or anyone recovering from injury or illness.

There’s many healthy people that go along to the gym and sticking to low intensity workouts, missing out on the chance to increase the intensity and increase the effectiveness of the workout

Generally a higher inensity work out will burn a higher number of calories. For instance, walking is low intensity. If in 20 minutes walking you burn off 100 calories, then 50% of those calories are fat, so you’ve burned off 50 fat calories.

In ten minutes of a high intensity workout suppose you burn 160 calories. Of those , 40% are fat , so your ten minutes has burned 64 calories.

Burning 14 more calories in half the time could mean in the same 20 minutes you burn 28 more calories and so on

People that are really serious in losing weight should make the bulk of their session high intensity
