Things that help you workout.
In this article I will discuss products and techniques to help you with your workout routine.
I will also cover possible ways to break though plateaus or tear down walls that maybe preventing you from your goals.
Find out, in my opinion, the number one reason most people quit an exercise routine, Where you can find more information to help you reach your goals and products that help.
Sticking with it.
The number one reason people do not stick to their exercise routine is not time.
It is not that it is too hard or that they are plain lazy.
I believe that the number one reason people do not stick to their exercise routine is...
RESULTS and FEAR! Without results, or at least progress within a reasonable amount of time.
Most will get discouraged before they can see any results at all.
Let us face it we are in the time of instant gratification.
If we do not see results fast, it must not work, right? And if it does not work? Why waist our precious time.
And then the fear kicks in.
Fear of wasting time, fear of being the one that it just does not work for.
Fear of maybe, "SUCCESS?" Will I have to do this for the rest of my life? "I do not need that kind of commitment!" "There are too many other things I would rather do than sweat my ass off for nothing.
"Am I right?" Well, let us try to change that, shall we? Plateaus.
So you have started working out and things are going great.
Then all of a sudden your not seeing results anymore.
You keep trying, your eating good maybe not great but your eating better, your staying with your work out that had been showing result.
But you have not lost a pound in over a week.
You feel better your starting like how you look now but the progress has somehow stopped.
This is called a plateau.
There are two major causes for plateaus.
The first being not enough calories.
Yes, you heard me.
You my not be eating enough.
Lean muscle needs calories to grow and repair from all that exercise that you are doing.
In order to protect itself, your body will purposely slow you metabolism and store fat if it is not getting enough calories to fuel those new muscles of yours.
That is why you should never cut more than 500 calories from your maintenance weight calorie diet.
Let me explain, if your diet requires you to eat 3500 calories a day to maintain the weight that you at now.
Then you should not start right off with a 2000 calorie diet.
Your body is smart and does not like to lose weight.
If you have programmed your body to stay at 185lbs, then it will beg ,barrow and steel from your lean muscle to stay at that weight and turn it to fat.
A quick rule of thumb.
When beginning your weight loss program avoid cutting more than 500-700 calories/day from your maintenance calorie diet.
Let me give you a simple formula you can use to calculate the calorie range you should stay in and prevent possible weight loss plateaus.
MAINTENANCE WEIGHT CALORIE FORMULA For men=kg (body weight) x 24 = kcal/day.
For women=kg (body weight) x 23 = kcal/day.
I know everyone wants to lose weight fast.
But if you want to lose the weight and keep it off, the healthy way.
It will benefit you most to remember your goal should be more of a marathon than a full out sprint.
Take the above formula to find how many calories you need to stay at the weight you are now.
Then subtract 500 calories and make that your daily goal for a couple of week then re-evaluate.
Keeping track.
As you can probably see by now.
It is important to keep a log of your daily work out sessions as well as your caloric in take.
I have found that one of most powerful tools in your fitness and weight loss programs is a simple journal.
The benefits of tracking your progress can keep you highly motivated and aid in your success.
A GPS heart rate monitor can be a big help also.
If your not familiar with a GPS heart rate monitor, let me explain.
A GPS heart rate monitor is exactly what it sounds like.
G.
P.
S stands for global positioning satellite.
With the GPS technology you track the distance you traveled and the amount of time it took to travel that distance.
All while monitoring your heart rate, target heart rate, and on and on.
All of this information can be uploaded to your computer for farther analysis.
A very helpful tool! I hope that you were able to get some use from this article.
Good luck in all of your fitness goals, now get out there and have some fun.
Well that is all I have for now.
Take one day at a time, one step at a time and you will get to all your fitness goals...
I am pulling for you!
