Finding the best workout regime not only depends on your body, but also your current fitness level. Research shows that people with arthritis, older adults, the obese, and those with bone or joint issues should stick with low impact activities. Conversely, SparkDaily.com reports that “fitter individuals may have to work harder to reach their target heart rate zone when choosing low impact exercises,” making high impact workouts more appealing.

If you’re just starting out, begin slowly and work your way up to avoid injury. Some great low impact workout activities to think about include:

Walking
Cycling
Swimming
Hiking
Rollerblading

It’s easy to increase the intensity of these low impact activities by picking up the pace, using walking trails that have hills, and/or slowly increasing the amount of time spent on each activity.

If you’re looking toward trying out high impact workout activities, know that even though there is a higher risk of injury, the benefits can be substantial. A study of 25-year-old women in Sweden, published in Osteoporosis International, showed that regular high impact exercising increased bone mineral density. In addition, there is also the added benefit of burning more calories in a shorter amount of time.

If you feel you are fit enough and ready to include high impact workout movement into your daily routine, then consider:

Jumping rope
Jumping jacks
Running
Skipping
Any other activity in which both feet are off the ground simultaneously

Whatever type of workout you choose, mix it up to avoid boredom. Remember, regular exercise combined with getting the proper vitamins and nutrients, such as those in the Slimberry products, will help you maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.

The Metabolizer Enhancer contains several beneficial ingredients including Green Tea Leaf. Studies show this leaf offers many health benefits including lowering cholesterol levels and harmful LDL cholesterol, inhibiting cancer cell growth, and increasing cardiovascular health. Research indicates that green tea boosts metabolism, inhibits fat absorption, helps glucose regulation, and helps reduce appetite.

Pyridoxine is vitamin B6. It is important for the breakdown of protein, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars) in the foods we eat making it important in weight-loss efforts. Entire books have been written on the therapeutic uses of vitamin B6; it has been used to treat more than 100 health conditions.

Vitamin B6 is essential in the formation of healthy red blood cells and supports more vital bodily functions than any other vitamin. Health conditions treated with vitamin B6 cover a wide range of physical and psychological disorders, from heart diseases to mental depression to kidney stones to memory loss. Some excellent food sources of Vitamin B6 include: garlic, tuna, cauliflower, bananas, celery, and cabbage.

Citrus Aurantium has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine to improve overall health. It also reduces appetite and boosts metabolism to stimulate fat loss.

Chromium polynicotinate is another ingredient in our Metabolizer Enhancer. It is critical in your body’s use of glucose and helps balance blood sugar levels. It’s also used in the metabolism and storage of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates by the body. It regulates hunger, reduces cravings, helps protect DNA, helps control fat and cholesterol levels in the body and is important for proper heart function.

Vitamin B3 or niacin is essential for carbohydrate metabolism, helping with energy levels and numerous bodily functions including circulation, brain and nervous system functioning, digestion, and more. In addition to the Slimberry Metabolizer Enhancer, there are several excellent food sources of Vitamin B3 including papaya, kale, collard greens, mushrooms, and tuna.

Research on sleep and appetite reveals a consistent link between a lower amount of sleep and a higher body mass index (BMI), a ratio of weight-to-height that indicates an overweight body. In one large-scale sleep study, the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study, those participants who slept less than eight hours a night were more likely to be overweight.

Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep per night, although some people need more or less sleep for adequate rest.

Sleep experts recommend that you talk with your doctor if you have any of these signs of sleep disorders:

• Loud snoring, gasping, snorting, choking sounds or stopping breathing for short periods during sleep
• Routinely taking more than 30 minutes to fall asleep
• Regularly waking up many times and having trouble falling asleep again
• Creeping, tingling or crawling feelings in your legs or arms, especially as you’re falling asleep
• Legs or arms jerk often during sleep
• Waking up with headaches
• Vivid, dream-like experiences while falling asleep or dozing
• Frequent sleepiness during the day, frequent naps, or falling asleep unintentionally or at inappropriate times during the day
• Unusual behaviors during sleep, such as sleep walking
• Feeling unable to move your body when you first wake up

A well-balanced lifestyle that includes vital nutrients, such as those found in Slimberry, and routine exercise can help you prevent and manage sleep issues and weight problems.
