Serious about weight loss then you are going to need to exercise everyday of the week . No rest days unless you are doing high interval training or preparing for an event such as a half marathon or marathon. Otherwise, move your body every single day for forty minutes minimum if you really want to lose the fat. The level at which you can work in an aerobic state will be entirely dependent on your current fitness level, your maximum heart rate, any existing medical conditions you may need to consider, medications that may affect your energy level or heart rate, and of course how much extra weight you are carrying. It is important that you build a foundation or what many athletes refer to as your base mileage. It is more important with weight bearing activities such as running and walking. When building a base slowly so as to not injure yourself the rule is no more than 10% to 15% of additional miles each week. If you run your first week ten miles then the following week you can run 11.5 miles and pretty much be assured of a healthy and injury free program. Move your body everyday until you have a solid base of forty minutes at least per day. You may only be able to perform ten minutes a day. Great! Next week it will be eleven and a half minutes a day. Monitor your progress in either mileage or time whichever works best for you. Focus on time first then consider your actual mileage. Once you know your mileage capabilities then you can concentrate on interval and heart rate target training which emphasizes intensity. There are some wonderful cardio trainers in the Denver metro area. Check some of these programs out for camaraderie, support, and great training environments. The Denver Urban Run and Bike Group

| Real Housewives star Gretchen Rossi: How I overcame bulimia - Examiner Posted: 24 May 2010 06:17 PM PDT Message from Five Filters: If you can, please donate to the full-text RSS service so we can continue developing it.
"I got healthy," reveals Rossi, 31. "I was a lot heavier back in high school and in college. I wasn't even fat, I was only 130 pounds. But compared to what I look like now at 115 pounds, I thought I looked fat." Gretchen, who recently made headlines after a series of racy nude and semi-nude photos were leaked "My best friend busted me in the bathroom, and then my parents found out," Rossi says in the new issue of InTouch. "That's when I decided to seek therapy." She adds: "I decided that I was going to make a difference, and I went and got my personal training license and nutritional license. Then I worked as a personal trainer, nutritionist and aerobics instructor." Gretchen--who frequently flaunts her enviable bikini body on the Real Housewives of Orange County--says she still hates her thighs. "I hate my legs," she says. "I have just always wanted skinnier thighs. My thighs kill me!" So what body part does she like? "My boyfriend, Slade [Smiley says] my butt is my best feature, so I try and make sure my butt looks cute in whatever I have on." The superfit Gretchen works out regularly and exercises portion control to maintain her svelte figure. "I don't count calories or cut sugar out," she says. "I have a little taste of everything, then, for the next three days, I'll be really careful." She runs, jumps rope, and uses a mini-stepper for cardio, and strength-trains using a resistance band. Unlike her other co-stars, Rossi doesn't have breast implants and says her body is 100% natural (a rarity for Orange County). "I have not had any plastic surgery whatsoever," she says. "This is the best weight I've ever been at, and this is the best I feel like I've ever looked." She adds: "I feel toned and healthy and good. And it took a little bit to get to that place, but I'm grateful I'm finally at that place." Read more Celebrity Fitness/Health news:

You may ask why forty minutes? At forty minutes your body changes to a different energy substrate system and moves into fat oxidation processes whereby your body now can access fat body tissue storage and begin to use that as a fuel source over other fuel sources. Think of your exercise regime as getting to the last slices of bread in the loaf, each week, you get closer and closer to finishing off the loaf of bread and can get on to a new fresh selection. It takes time performing in an aerobic state to access the fat body mass. Time will result in mileage and both will increase over time.
