WEIGHTLOSS - A CLOSE LOOK

PHYSICAL FITNESS
You may ask yourself the questions: Why should I be fit and if I am over weight then why should I lose weight? There are many good reasons for you to be physically fit. For example, if you are fit then you can work harder and enjoy more because a physically fit person does not tire as easily as an unfit person. A physically fit person has strong muscles and a healthy heart which allows him to tolerate stress (both physical and mental) more easily and be more alert mentally. To be physically fit you must have a body weight appropriate for your height and build. The objective of weight control is to reduce the amount of body fat and increase muscle.
When you exercise, the strength and endurance of the particular group of muscles that you exercise will increase, the other body muscles are not affected. Therefore your exercise program should include an appropriate set of exercises that affect all the muscles that you want to strengthen. Remember to always slowly warm up before starting any vigorous exercise. Warm up time should be longer and is more important as you grow older. Rest, relaxation, and the type of food that you eat are equally important for remaining physically fit.
Physical Fitness – Bit of Exercise Helps Improve Physical Fitness
The key to successful goal implementation is to keep your initial desires and motivations fresh in your mind. By reviewing your progress each and every day, your goals become more than just wishful thinking and become engrained into your mind. Daily reflection, as if by magic, turns dreams into reality. You will become what you think about most.
To lose weight effectively, you will have to permanently change four aspects of your life:
1.) what you eat 2.) how you eat
3.) your behavior 4.) your activity level.
Exercise reduces the risk for several diseases including heart disease, adult-onset diabetes, high blood pressure or hypertension, breast cancer, osteoporosis and colon cancer.

Exercise may also help prevent, or be effective in treating, some mental illnesses, such as depression.

Find what works for your body, not just what's popular.Not only should an exercise class help you lose weight, it should also be enjoyable and it should be a source of energy for you.

Your personal interests and preferences can guide you toward finding the right exercise class for you. For example, did you love swimming as a child? Then you'll probably enjoy being back in the pool for water

As long as your doctor says it's okay, there's no reason you shouldn't get started with some form of strength training, because getting strong will help you get slim a lot quicker than aerobic exercise alone.

Doing exercises like sit-ups, push-ups and pull-ups are all components of strength training.

You can also do your own modified version of weight lifting with household items. Hold a can of soup in each hand and do some chest-flies and curls.

Exercise experts recommend that we get an aerobic workout at least five days a week, but strength training works with two or three sessions a week equals the same.

You don't have to go it alone! Tell your friends and family what you want to accomplish and tell them how they can help you (and warn them of what doesn't help). Telling someone else your goals will probably make you feel that much more dedicated to reaching them. Some exercises require you to move slowly in and out of poses, which also increases strength.


Try adding new herbs and spices to your veggies and entrees.

Making a too-drastic cut in your caloric intake is not a good idea.

Research has shown that snacking on peanut butter is an effective way to control hunger without leading to weight gain

You need to plan alternative strategies to cope with emotional eating

Your weight will fluctuate from day to day. Resist the urge to weigh yourself on a daily basis

Mark your calendar for a certain date for each goal that you want to meet. It's easier to move individual stones than a whole mountain, right? Prepare yourself, emotionally and mentally, for the changes you're about to undertake.
