Getting More From Your Diet and Workout
The plan you have selected for eating to lose weight works.
The workout you have designed or chosen also works.
Then why have you not been able to shed those unwanted pounds from your body? There are a lot of people that a riding in that boat, and when they come across that problem it starts rocking the boat and usually ends with you giving up on it.
Only after throwing both paddles of diet and exercise out on your trip into the water.
That may be a little overdramatic, but you get the point.
Unfortunately this is a reality for a lot of people, and mainly Americans as our sedentary lifestyles and reliance on grain based foods is wreaking havoc on the American waist line.
This has given way to heavy market saturation from a stupid amount of products to help curb this ever growing problem.
If you are one of those that have tried the supplements, the shakes, and bought all of the books with little to no result, maybe you should refocus your efforts.
A lot of people that step foot in the gym enter with a little pearl of wisdom on what they need to do to get into shape, but that wisdom needs refinement.
Three little words are going to save your workout and thus save your program so you are not back up the creek with no paddles on the verge of tipping over.
Those words are 'range of motion'.
To let you in on a little secret.

A lot of people would have gone the other direction with that and increased the amount of weight they are moving a shorter distance.
The disadvantage to that is it dramatically increases your risk for injury.
The best body builders in the world are ones that can make 200 pounds feel like 400 pounds for just that reason.
The next time you are questioning your workout try moving the weight farther.
You might be surprised at how many more calories you will be able to burn with your workouts.
