Fitness FAQs
Return to previous pageQ: Can I just follow the Kinetix nutrition program, or do I have to exercise?
A: Yes, you need to exercise as well. At Kinetix, we believe nutrition and exercise go hand-in-hand with a healthy lifestyle. Incorporating both strength and cardio exercises, the Kinetix workout can easily be done at home – all you need is an exercise bench, dumbbells or resistance bands and a pair of athletic shoes.
- Cardio Exercises: The phrase “no pain, no gain” has nothing to do with cardio, especially when it comes to eliminating fat. The Kinetix Program – 30 minutes of cardio exercise three times a week – will leave you feeling energized, not exhausted. Simply choose your favorite cardio exercise (jogging, cycling, etc.), and maintain your target heart rate throughout your workout. Our web site provides a helpful tool to help you determine your target heart rate range.
- Strength Exercises: Virtually every lean, toned physique you’ve ever seen was created by an exercise routine that included weights.
We’re not talking about bulking up or getting “ripped,” we’re talking about basic exercises that stimulate lean muscle tissue, which increases your metabolism and enables your body to burn more calories and fat every minute of the day. The Kinetix Program – just 30 minutes of strength exercises three days a week – will strengthen your metabolism, increase your bone density, tone your muscles and enhance your flexibility.
There are numerous health benefits to exercise. Studies have shown a link between exercise and the level at which your brain sets your appetite. People who exercise have a lowered appetite “set-point.” This means that when you exercise, you increase the amount of calories burned and lower the amount of calories you crave. Exercise also makes you feel better by raising your beta endorphins, which in turn reduces the risk of binge or boredom eating. Add that to its numerous cardiovascular benefits, and exercising becomes a “no brainer.”
