Gymnastics: Get Fit, Burn
Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning
Combined
A gymnastic workout is a
reasonable way to boost fitness and burn stored body fat. Gymnastics increases
the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled
diet - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including abdominal fat.
In addition, gymnastics helps to develop all-over body muscles, so you
get fit and reshape your body.
Gymnastics Improves Fat
Percent
About 45 minutes of gymnastics
burns about 225 calories. In one year, this daily exercise routine burns
a total of 82,125 calories per year - about 23 pounds of stored body fat.
This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.

Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn
body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like gymnastics) contributes to improved
health in several ways. It helps reduce abdominal fat, associated with
serious illness; it assists weight control, thus maintaining healthy cholesterol
levels and blood pressure. Finally, it releases endorphins the
happiness chemicals that improve mood. These health benefits are further
boosted by a balanced diet.
