As a nutritionist, one of the most asked questions you receive is "how do I lose weight?" Everyone seems to be looking for the easiest way to drop pounds fast. A simple law of sustainable weight loss is that losing pounds slowly is the best approach. Weight lost fast usually returns just as fast.
And as a sports nutritionist in particular, it's also necessary to advise dieters and weight watchers of the importance of regular exercise. Exercise burns calories, and resistance training builds muscle, both of which make losing weight easier. Exercise is also key to staying healthy, and it has benefits beyond aiding in weight loss. Exercise relieves stress, improves mood, regulates blood sugar, prevents diseases like diabetes and metabolic syndrome, and strengthens bones and muscles including your heart.
To keep your workout routine fresh, incorporate variety on a regular basis. Boxing and martial arts are excellent ways to get fit and stay fit while having fun. Our favorite punching bag is the Body Opponent Bag, known by the moniker BOB. BOB is unique because he's designed with the proportions and shape of a real person. This makes BOB a much better tool than regular heavy bags when learning holds, body shots, or training in any form of self defense. His 'skin' is made from rugged plastisol with an inner cavity of urethane and has a lifelike consistency. The Body Opponent Bag has a wide, rounded base which adds stability and makes it easy to roll away when you're done using it. The BOB is adjustable in height from 5'10" to 6'2".
BOB's unique design includes:
* Skin is made of high strength plastisol and inner cavity is filled with durable urethane foam
* Adjustable from 5'10 to 6'2
* Base fills with sand or water and is rounded for easy roll relocation
* One year limited Manufacturer's warranty
* Weighs approximately 270 lbs. when filled
BOB is fun for the whole family, including young karate students, martial arts students, and would be boxers. BOB helps you get and stay fit while getting rid of stress. Come on, put some punch in your healthy lifestyle.
