Work out!

For like the past 2-3 years I've been obsessed with gaining weight!

'WILL WOMEN EVER BE SATISFIED!!!?" Hmmm

Currently a size 8 and 10 in fake jeans(*)!  

(*) Fake jeans= the pair of size 10 jeans i bought from primark that are so tight! As compared to the...how do u say...better tailored topshop size 10 jeans that refuse to fit like a glove.

I used to go by my own made up rule: ' slim folk should not excercise'...that was until I came across some good ol' knowledge.

Yes...for those of u that fall into the want to gain weight category'....EXCERCISE IS STILL IMPORTANT!

I told a friend that I was going to work out today 'n' I think he was a bit shocked...

Convo:

Me: just about to work out!

Mal: workout? 4reaal??

Mal: lol

So the question is...

WHY EXCERCISE EVEN IF YOUR TRYNA GAIN SOME???

There are two types of cholesterol - HDL or 'good' cholesterol and LDL, also known as 'bad' cholesterol. LDL is considered bad because it deposits cholesterol plaques onto the walls of the arteries, which can lead to hardening of the arteries and cardiovascular disease.

This latest study found that LDL cholesterol levels in thin people who did not exercise were almost identical to the levels found in obese people who did not exercise.

The study compared the heart disease risk factors in 37 lean exercisers, 46 lean non-exercisers and 28 obese non-exercisers.

Lean exercisers were fit and demonstrated almost optimal levels of LDL cholesterol. In contrast, lean non-exercisers were unfit and demonstrated borderline high levels of LDL cholesterol at just 40 years of age. These levels were almost identical to the levels found in the obese participants.

How bout that for some info eh?!!
