Lose Weight Permanently

Children playing are enjoying themselves enormously. And the more they are moving their bodies the more fun they get. This changes with age: Exercise gets less and less linked with fun. Many women over 40 do not like to go to a gym or do any form of physical activity, what makes it challenging for them to lose weight permanently.

But this doesn't has to be that way. If you exercise regularly, your mood will improve. Generally, people doing exercise experience themselves as more successful and emotionally stable.

Recent research published in the Archives of Internal Medicine investigated the results of physical exercise on the quality of life of menopausal women. All women were overweight or obese and had an inactive lifestyle. The women were placed in 3 different exercise programs with varying intensity level. As always in these studies, a control group had no exercise at all.

Some women did not lose weight, because they counterbalanced the calories spent while exercising by eating more. But: For all of them their quality of life increased. And: The higher the intensity level of the exercise program, the better the women felt.

A positive effect on the sense of well-being was achieved even by the group doing the exercise program with the lowest intensity.

Of course, to lose weight permanently over 40 you have to integrate physical activities in your lifestyle. However you shouldn't do it for the weight loss only. Exercise will make you feel better and increase the quality of your life- especially if you are over 40. Are you a woman over 40?
