Stretching: Get Fit, Burn Fat
Fitness and Fat-Burning Combined
Stretching workouts are a reasonable way to boost fitness and burn stored fat. Stretching increases the number of calories burned, and - if combined with a calorie-controlled eating plan - will cause the body to burn fat-tissue - including abdominal fat. In addition, stretching helps to develop and lengthen the body's muscles, and reshapes your body.
Stretching Improves Fat Percentage
About 45 minutes of stretching burns about 122 calories. In one year, this daily exercise routine burns a total of 44,530 calories per year - about 13 pounds of stored body fat. This fat-burning improves the body's fat-percentage - the muscle-to-fat
ratio.
Stretching: Fat-Burning Health Benefits
Because it helps to burn body-fat, a regular fitness workout (like stretching) 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.
