What type of exercise sabotage expert are you? Do you delve into
a fitness program with a goal of 2.5 hours of exercise a day ---
only to fall splat within a week's time? Do you spend so much
of your time setting the machinery up that you run out of quality
work-out time? Alternatively, are you the type fitness enthusiast
who is exercising to support your eating habit?
Regardless of your exercise wrecking finesse, there are ways to
avoid sabotaging your work-out program. Use the following strategies
to skirt your fitness faux pas.
Realistic Commitments
It takes almost 6-months of two - three hours most days of the
week to see physical results. With four to five hours of exercise
per week it is possible to experience noticeable changes within
four months. The formula to maintaining a regular workout schedule
is through realistic planning coupled with consistency. Generally,
individuals who over commit neglect to plan or account for professional,
family and other obligations.
Mix and Match
Incorporate a balance of cardiovascular, flexibility and weight/resistance
training. It allows for an optimal progression of weight loss,
fat loss, strength and endurance. Instead of using one type of
exercise, integrate various work-out regimens. One fitness program
such as yoga inhibits the body from burning calories. Try to incorporate
three various exercise programs; in example, aerobic, Pilates
and resistance training.
Eat Within Reason
Contrary to popular belief, nutrition is an essential part of
exercise. If you are exercising an hour a day and your diet is
one of fried foods and void of nourishment, then weight loss is
merely an uphill battle. A common mistake made amongst dieters
is the tendency of exercising twice a week and then eating exorbitant
volumes of food. |
