The same old question gets asked time and again: What really works to lose weight? Every trainer, nutritionist, dietician, doctor seems to have an answer. Simply put there is a short answer that works every time: FOCUS!
Now here is the long answer: Losing weight takes focus on four key areas that if one if ignored can derail the other 3.
1- Diet - If you are exercising without the proper fuel you may be burning up muscle instead of fat during your workout. Focus on getting clean, healthy fuel into your body. Lots of veggies, lean protein and healthy fat sources like Avocados and olive oil.
2 - Exercise - the right exercise will burn the fat and build muscle at the same time but will require intensity. Focus your efforts on short, intense bursts of exercise followed by short recovery. This will ramp up the metabolism, build muscle, and burn more fat per exercise bout.
3- Quiet - Meditation or prayer can be beneficial to calming the central nervous system and allowing for adequate recovery from exercise. Focus your mind on breathing and being calm. Do not hold onto your thoughts as they race, this will help you to handle setbacks and appreciate advancement better.
4 - Recovery - Working out to exhaustion is just that - Exhausting. Make sure you are recovered from the last workout before you do the same thing again. Focus on cardio if you are still worn out from your weight workout the day before. Be honest with yourself and don't skip a day just because you feel a little sore. Some work can help you recover. Get to know your body.
I don't usually read Fitness Magazine because I feel it can be a little watered down and very commercial(they may use the products their advertisers send them). Their headlines are what the audience wants to hear(Walk off 10 lbs this month! not going to happen) not what they need to hear. You will not make a change until change what has made you. Get out of your comfort zone and find a new place in you.
This article was great. If you think you are in shape then try to work out alongside the Biggest Loser contestants.
They have a trainer pushing them and you have the feeling that you are in better shape. Guess again. Check out what happens when a writer from Fitness Magazine thinks she is in better shape than some of The Biggest Loser contestants.
