Hit the Gym
If you’ve had a workout routine but let it slip, try and find a new one. If you’ve never had a workout routine before, you’ll be surprised at how much progress you can make in a short period of time.
A big benefit of weight lifting, or strength training, is that it can dramatically increase muscle mass, while aerobic exercise does not.
More muscle mass is good not just because it makes you stronger but because it increases your metabolic rate. Muscle cells, even at rest, burn more calories than fat cells.
Weight training has been shown to have other benefits, too.
Recent studies suggest that men with greater muscle strength may decrease their risk of heart disease and diabetes, increased waist size, high fasting blood sugar, high triglycerides, low HDL or “good” cholesterol, and high blood pressure.

One of the most effective forms of exercise for men to achieve their ideal body weight is regular running. Running is an excellent form of exercise for losing weight because the body burns a large number of calories while running and the simplest formula for weight loss is burning off more calories than the individual consumes.
When this type of calorie deficit is created, the body begins to shed excess weight in the form of fat. In order to lose one pound of body weight, the body must create a calorie deficit of 3500 calories. The number of calories burned while running will depend on a number of factors including weight, intensity of the workout and the efficiency of the runner.
Improved cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure and decreased risk of heart attack and stroke are also significant benefits to running.
Finally, running is also beneficial for slowing down the aging process. Runners are less likely to experience bone and muscle loss as the bones grow and become stronger by responding to physical demands. Men who run on a regular basis are continually taxing their muscles and their bones so the bones are stimulated to remain stronger and do not as easily weaken with age.
