Hot on the heels of my previous review on the findings that higher intensity exercise training “generated significant reductions in abdominal fat levels” come the findings that it also helps reduce hypertension, lowers cholesterol, and diabetes.
The results really were quite overwhelming. There was no doubt that the harder you train the more benefits you get. They found that for every metre per second increment ie the faster you run:
1. You reduced the odds for having to use blood pressure lowering medications by 54% in men/46% in women,
2. You reduced the …

We’ve already seen how effective exercise is for reducing men’s risk of developing cancer http://www.chrisjonesosteo.com.au/?p=348, now it’s the ladies turn. Along term study of nearly 6,000 women “found that those who exercised the most had a 25 per cent lower chance of developing cancer than those who were the least active”.
This new research supports findings from late last year which found “women who carry out lots of vigorous exercise are approximately 30% less likely to develop breast cancer than those who don’t exercise vigorously”. That study followed over 30,000 women. …

Hate to say I  told you so, but really, we’re starting to get some pretty compelling evidence on the benefits of exercise. Check this out: A new study, published online July 28, 2009 in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, has found that “men who exercised for at least 30 minutes a day at moderate to high intensity halved their risk of dying prematurely from cancer, mainly gastrointestinal and lung cancer.”
In the study, 2560 men were followed for a year to see what sort of exercise they did, and they were …

I’m going to talk here about the results of two studies. The first study says that they have conclusively proven that if you
exercise at a higher intensity, you will lose more fat. And really, this probably sounds like the most obvious thing ever,
right?! But it’s interesting because for years most exercise physiologists have actually believed, and I’m not making this
up, that exercising at medium intensity is the best way to lose fat, eg, long slow walks.
There was some graph developed years ago based on some study and I don’t remember …
