No matter how you look at it there is only one way to lose weight, burn off more calories than you eat, period.
That being said, how many different weight loss plans are available?
How high can you count?
You only need to count to one, the one that works for you.
Finding that one can be a challenge.To make it worse, all the popular weight loss and fitness plans take their best case scenarios and flaunt them in advertisements, with the disclaimer, “Results Not Typical, Your Results Will Vary“. IF, you get results!
I’ve lost count of how many different expert’s advice I’ve followed or how many different workout videos and DVD’s I’ve bought.
I’ll tell you this, no matter how energizing, no matter how upbeat the sound tract was I would get sick and tired of the same old grind. The once fun and exciting workout routine got stale and boring and to be honest it always got to the point where I could not stand the constant yammering while working out. Turning off the volume only helps for a short time, those kinds of workouts actually need the music to make it work.
At one point I had close to four hundred pounds of free weights, cast iron, of course, those plastic coated concrete weights don’t last very long. I had two barbells, two curling bars, and two sets of dumbbells. The reason I had so much weight wasn’t because I could lift four hundred pounds it was because changing the weights took up too much time during my workouts.
I finally got smart, I stopped looking outside myself for the answers I needed and realized I had everything necessary to recreate the body of my youth, without resorting to high impact, high intensity and high-priced “expert advice”.
So, how do you create your own personalized weight loss and fitness plan?
One step at a time.
Tip #1 Be Physically Active, Daily
In today’s Internet world you can almost everything from your computer, tablet or smart phone. You can order food, take out or groceries. No need to drive to the store and walk around. You can pay your bills online. Don’t have to walk to the mail box.
What you need to do is find an activity that is not too strenuous but keeps you moving, try walking or bike riding for half an hour a day to start. Gradually increase your time as you get in better shape.
Tip #2 Exercise Three Or More Times A Week
Similar to Tip #1 but on a different level. Do something that challenges you, like weight lifting or running. If that is boring for you find a sport you like to play, softball, basketball or tennis are all good picks.
Just remember to make it something you enjoy doing, that ay you will stick with it for the long haul.
Tip #3 Eat Right
By eating right I mean remember the four food groups you learned as a child, not the food pyramid the FDA was passing off as healthy. It’s not healthy to eat eleven servings of grains a day, not even whole grains. It’s only healthy for the food manufacturers bottom line.
Divide your plate into quadrants, or quarters, one-fourth of you meal should be lean protein, meat, one-fourth should be starches, potatoes or the like, the other half of your meal should be colorful vegetables, bright colors like red, orange and yellow. A roll or piece of bread will fill the need for grains. Also you should drink water with your meal.
You don’t even need much, or any, equipment either. Your body weight alone is enough to get you started.
That’s pretty much it, no muss, no fuss. Just think about what you’re doing and what you know you should be doing.
