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. |
