| 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. |
