Weight Loss Fitness Winnipeg - Discover The Secrets Of Top Fitness Expert In Winnipeg

Oct. 1, 2010 - PRLog -- When trying to lose weight in Winnipeg, fitness programming should be the backbone of your plan.  There is a certain fitness hierarchy when you are trying to lose weight and some options are definitely more effective than others, and thus should be given priority over the other fitness or weight loss options.  What follows is a list from most important to least important and explanations for each.  An important note is that nutrition is by far the most important factor to consider when trying to lose weight in Winnipeg, however for the purposes of this article we are only discussing the fitness factors for weight loss.

1. Resistance Training Fitness Program

When trying to lose weight in Winnipeg by far the most important part of your fitness plan is a solid resistance training fitness program.  If trying to lose weight this program should be designed in such a way to minimize rest and based on an interval style protocol.  An example of this type of structure could be a 5 exercise circuit doing 30 seconds of exercise 1 and having 15 seconds to get ready for exercise 2, repeating this for all 5 exercises.  You would then complete 3-4 rounds of this circuit and finish with a cool down routine.  If the exercise selection is optimal you could complete a full body metabolic workout in 25 minutes or less.

2. Interval Cardio Fitness Sessions

Unless you are training for a marathon or some other long duration cardiovascular fitness event, there is no need for long duration cardio sessions of more than 30 minutes.  If weight loss is your goal in Winnipeg a better cardiovascular option is to perform your sessions in an interval structure.  This sessions could be performed on a treadmill, bike, rower, in a swimming pool or any other traditional cardiovascular fitness form.  An example of structure could be running sprints on a treadmill or outside of 30 seconds sprinting and 1 minute walking for 12-20 minutes.  The trick of this structure is that the 30 seconds sprinting need to be as hard as you can go for that time to get the most fitness and weight loss benefits.

3. Yoga/Pilates/Group Fitness Class

In Winnipeg, fitness classes such as yoga, pilates and Zumba are becoming more and more popular.  While these group fitness classes are a great option to stay active in a fun way, they should not be the backbone of your weight loss fitness plan in Winnipeg.  If you still have some time available after adding resistance training and interval based cardio fitness sessions into your schedule then adding one of these options is a great way to stay active and have some fun.

4. Long Duration Steady State Cardiovascular Fitness

At the bottom of the fitness hierarchy is steady state cardiovascular fitness training.  If you like running or biking for long periods of time then this is a good way to burn a few extra calories and strengthen your heart.  You will still get heart strengthening benefits from interval style cardio, but this is still a good fitness option if long duration is something you enjoy.

There are many options in Winnipeg for fitness and weight loss and the trick is finding a way to enjoy your new fitness plan and work your way down the list adding options along the way.
