the art of weight-loss<\/h2>\r\nthere was a time when losing weight and getting fit meant eating right and getting lots of cardio exercises. today the fitness world and your success depend on more than that. you still need to eat the right foods and supply healthy nutrition to your body. the national heart, lung and blood institute<\/a> says you still need to get that heart rate moving and keep it moving for at least 15 minutes (preferably longer) each day, but you also need weights or resistance exercise even if you don\u2019t want to build muscles the size of mr. olympia.\r\n

weights, resistance and your body<\/h2>\r\nweight-bearing exercise is critical for overall fitness and that means picking up the weights from time to time. research has shown that weight-bearing exercises just a few days a week may help dieters lose more weight and build bone density, according to the nih national resource center<\/a>.\r\n\r\nthere\u2019s also resistance exercise for those who\u2019re not ready to lift weights. you can start out using your body as resistance and move up to bands. advanced programs like the p90x series use resistance bands in lieu of weights.\r\n\r\nremember to talk with your physician before starting with weights. while there is no age limit on weight lifting, each person\u2019s medical history is unique and weights may not be an option for all people.\r\n

your health is most important<\/h2>\r\nbeing overweight is about more than how you feel about your body. significant health issues<\/a> have been associated with excess body weight. lifestyle choices like smoking, lack of exercise and increased stress can all contribute to weight gain.","link":"\/\/www.digitopmedia.com\/exercise-equipment\/weights\/","name":"weight","slug":"weights","taxonomy":"category","parent":70,"meta":[],"acf":{"menu_description":"","does_not_have_reviews":false,"is_medically_reviewed":true,"medically_reviewed_by":{"id":43,"user_firstname":"anthony","user_lastname":"dugarte","nickname":"anthony dugarte","user_nicename":"anthony-dugarte-m-d","display_name":"anthony dugarte m.d.","user_email":"summer@two.com","user_url":"","user_registered":"2017-07-03 17:47:49","user_description":"anthony dugarte, m.d., c.s.c.s. is a cleveland, ohio native who has enjoyed success in sports, as well as academics. he accepted a full athletic scholarship to attend kent state university and graduated, cum laude, with a b.s. in exercise physiology. he is currently the research fellow for the department of orthopedic surgery at regions hospital in st. paul, minnesota. additionally, dr. dugarte has 8 years\u2019 experience as a certified strength and conditioning specialist, certified through the national strength and conditioning association.","user_avatar":false}},"yoast_head":"\nweight reviews -
