exercise is not as effective as moderate intensity endurance 
exercise for promoting fitness, German researchers found in a 
controlled study.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa011&articleID=72D5065B689D9E7BD75C71A62F1D5D55"><P> Less-strenuous exercise has been promoted in recent years, 
and is often touted as being more efficient for burning fat, 
Meyer noted. While low-intensity exercise has indeed been 
proven to reduce mortality and help prevent heart disease, it 
is less clear whether easier workouts can build fitness as 
efficiently.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?chanID=sa011&articleID=72D5065B689D9E7BD75C71A62F1D5D55"><P> Based on the findings, Meyer said, healthy people with no 
heart problems should shoot for reaching at least 80 percent of 
their maximum heart rate during endurance workouts. "If you 
have a healthy cardio-circulatory system, there is no reason to 
avoid intense exercise."</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4A13FAAC-35BC-4AB1-89CF-A72F0D128534/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
