Walking. It is the oldest exercise in the history of man. Long before the combustible engine, we had walking as the means to get from one kill of a Woolly mammoth to the next.

Walking is the most common form of locomotion for us bipeds. We walk because it’s free and convenient. But let’s not bore you to death about the history of walking.

This series is going to outline everything you need to know about walking for weight loss: how to do it, what to do it, and what benefits you should expect to see.

Who Should Use Walking for Weight Loss?

First things first, who should use walking as a means of exercise for weight loss?

This guide is designed for beginners. If you have never been to a gym, do not know how to exercise, or generally have never been exposed to how fitness works, then this walking for weight loss guide is for you.

This is a bit of a motivational post. This post is a mind exercise, not a muscle exercise.

More Gyms. More Health Products, Yet Less Healthy

It is truly amazing that America has the highest obesity rates in the world, yet more gyms and health clubs than any other country. We spend more on health care than any other country, yet rank 37th in the world for effectiveness (Without getting in a health care reform debate, our poor health care has a lot to do with treating disease after it has happened, and little on preventing the problems in the first place.)

Fast-food chains spend billions of dollars on advertising each year to get us to eat at their places of business. Does this huge amount of money influence you? Maybe, maybe not, but it does influence many people around you.

Are we to blame the systems around us for the obesity problem? We can, but the problem is truly within each and every one of us. If you are overweight or obese, the blame is on you and you alone. If you want to change your life, it starts in your head.

It’s a taboo subject, but I bet every single man (and woman) wants to know the answer to this question. Send the kids to bed, because this article is adults only!

This isn’t a website dedicated to the male anatomy, or its size, or how to use it. But we are about fitness, and your weight does have an effect on your perceived penis size and sexual performance.

The truth is the penis you got is the one you’re stuck with. For the sake of this article, we do not consider penis pills, pumps and other techniques for altering the size of the penis. We are strictly talking about how weight loss and exercise effect your size and, ahem, “performance.”

What Happens When You Lose Weight and Start Exercising

Let’s imagine you’re determined to lose weight and having a better body. You take up a healthy diet of natural foods only – lean meats, healthy grains, fruits, and vegetables. You start exercising too. For cardio you take up swimming or running. You start lifting weights at the gym to grow the muscle and shed the pounds.

How is it going to affect you and your little guy?

Looking for the best resistance band workout available? We got you covered!

A Full Gym – the Size of a Shoebox

If you can’t afford a gym membership, or hate driving to the gym, but are determined to get into shape, we highly recommend resistance band training. You can get the same benefits of lifting weights – the strength, the toning, and the weight loss, all with resistance bands.

With Bodylastics, you will get the same workout that you can get at a gym. Because resistance bands are so versatile, the exercises you can do are only limited by your imagination.

Now, we know not everyone has the know-how to come up with their own exercises (nor should you). That’s why Bodylastics comes with 140 of the top gym exercises, which you can now do at home – anytime and anyplace. Order Bodylastics with the just the training manuals, or throw in the DVD for even better instructions.

All Resistance Bands Are Not Created Equal

You can easily buy resistance bands at your local sporting goods store. But which ones do you buy? How many? What does the tension mean and what if the tension is too much or too little?

The problem with regular resistance bands is that they only offer one level of resistance. What happens when you get stronger, or are doing an exercise that requires more resistance than you have available?

The beauty of Bodylastics is the ability to adjust the resistance to any level. You can produce the weight equivalent of 5lbs, all the way up to 127lbs (or double with the T.O. kit), and everything between.

That’s more than enough for anybody. Even strong weightlifters will see the benefits of adding resistance bands into their workout mix.

Bodylastics also adheres to the highest quality standards – your Satisfaction is 100% Guaranteed. If it’s not up to par, send it back!

Bodylastics For Men and Women

Despite the misconception, resistance bands are not just for women. Men will see great results by adding resistance band training from Bodylastics into their workout mix. Beginners can use them to learn the basics of exercising and build their form (their motion during exercise) at the same time. Advanced users can use resistance bands from Bodylastics hit muscles groups that are not trained during weightlifting exercises.

Women, and even men, will see that Bodylastics is a great tool for toning up the body.

Can I Burn Fat with Resistance Bands?

Of course!

Use the Circuit Training DVD to start an exercise plan that will burn fat, help you lose weight, and tone and shape your body. If you want results fast, this program will get you toned up in 5 weeks, only 4 days a week.

Terrell Owens Workout

Now, we’re not exactly T.O. fans (OK, OK, we hate his guts). But let’s admit that he is in incredible shape for a guy over 30. And he’s still playing to his best in the NFL.

Terrell Owens’ secret to being a top NFL player is simple: Resistance bands.

T.O. teamed up with Bodylastics to bring you the hardest resistance band training program on the market. Now you can train just like T.O. in your home, at the gym, wherever you want. Who knows, maybe one day you can even out-run him?

Let’s get something straight. There is a lot of misinformation on the internet. There’s too much garbage to sift through. If you want advice on anything, you could spend all day researching and end up with opinions that come from every angle, that all contradict each other.

The reason I’m writing this article is because of one common piece of ‘advice’ I’ve been seeing in various weight loss discussions –

It’s only safe to lose 1-2 pounds a week.

Wrong, wrong, and wrong.

I don’t know where this rule originated, but let’s look at some myths related to this “lose 1-2 pounds a week” rule.

First, let’s look at what diet pills are not. They are not a solution to a problem. Being overweight and out-of-shape has deeper rooted issues than the supplements you take. There is no pill in the world, although some claim it, which will make you lose weight without any effort on your part.

People like to take the laziest approach possible. That may not be you, but many people just want an easy solution to their problems. Unfortunately, the solution is not easy, and if it were, we’d all be in great shape and health just by taking a pill.
