My daily workout Yeah!



"If working out leaves you feeling hungry, beware. Those post-exercise munchies can add up! To prove it, researchers from the University of Ottawa divided study subjects into three groups — those who had just exercised intensely, those who had just exercised moderately, and those who didn't exercise at all. The researchers then asked the three groups to eat as much as they'd like from a lunch buffet.
They found that those who exercised ate more than those who didn't — roughly the same amount of calories they had just burned! They speculate that the body subconsciously "keeps track" of calories burned and tries to stay even, regardless of how much stored fuel — aka fat — the body already has on board!
That doesn't mean you should skip your workout or starve yourself after, though! The key is to be aware of this effect and to choose what you munch on wisely, the experts say. So reach for a low-fat/low-calorie carbohydrate and protein combo — like yogurt with fresh fruit or half a peanut butter sandwich on whole-wheat bread — after you exercise. Doing so will take the edge off your hunger without undoing all your hard work! " -Denise Austin
Since I was very young my mother was encouraged by her optimistic nature. After having two babies and being in her 40s Denise Austin is keeping the ball rolling. She not only does aerobics anymore but she incorporates dance, yoga, pilates, and tai chi in all her routines. Every Monday through Friday I watch Denise Austin from 7am to 8am on Lifetime Channel. I like to listen to her encouraging words of wisdom and helpful tips from eating to exercising the right way. I am walking proff that it works and want you to try it too. Exercising is one thing you can do for your body and your body will thank you for it. I truely can't understand why no one would not want to exercise but if you want to see a change, then try it.
