Small changes could help you loose 52 pounds a year

2007-10-22T14:38:00.000-07:00

A "dietary change" should be considered a lifestyle change, but it should be gradual and habit forming. If there is one thing my fitness and nutrition clients have taught me is that incorporating small and easy changes into their everyday lives has helped them stay on track and lose weight quickly, easily and conveniently. The following items and recommendations might simply seem like "tips" to help you loose weight, but all of these small tips put together can help most individuals loose about 3500 calories a week, which is 1 pound of fat a week, which is about 52 pounds of fat in a year. You really have to look at weight loss as something that can be done over a period of time that is very simple and easy to do. 3500 calories divided by 7 is 500 calories. So a life style change would be anything that can help you burn an extra 500 calories a day (without re-consuming it in additional calories.) If there is one crucial thing that I must get across it is the following; all these little things can become an overwhelming change if you try and do everything at once. A key ingredient for a "tip" to be successful is to only concentrate on one habit for a period of 10 days. Not 2 or 3 habits. Even if you think you can handle it, only incorporate one change in a 10 day cycle. Why? You must let that change become a simple habit- we are trying to create small instinctive habits. Once something has become "natural" or "second nature" then try to add or change another small thing, in the next cycle. Think about it for a moment- in a month you could create the momentum needed to balance your life and weight without really sacrificing anything. Your path towards weight-loss could become as automatic as brushing your teeth or getting dressed. Figure out what your personality type is and decide upon the type of action you could squeeze into your schedule without making too many changes in your lifestyle. First and foremost make a list of what is easy to give up or do. Do not start with what is too difficult. The goal: baby steps. This should encourage you with small results, which will motivate you to keep going towards the BIG STUFF. Please realize that for some people doing additional exercise is simpler that cutting down on their caloric intake. Everyone has a different personality. As a fitness professional I would love to see more people taking care of themselves as a whole; working on their cardiovascular, muscular, flexibility and nutritional needs. Yet, I also live in North America,in a large city, and know that we are tempted by our environments. So start by what is easy and quick. Need some examples? Do you like green tea? This tea is a thermogenic and, if you are a healthy individual can help boost your natural metabolic rate. (the rate at which your body burns calories at rest) Do you enjoy walking, stretching, jumping rope? What type of activity can you do more of that burns calories and is fun. Did you ever think of keeping a pedometer on you? Calculate how many steps a day you would have to do to burn those extra 500 calories a day and do segments of mini walking bursts throughout the day. How about exercise for only 250 calories and cutting out 250 calories. If I am not mistaken 250 calories is about the average caloric value of a chocolate bar. Go out dancing, or dance while you clean the house! Look for quick recipes that are easy to make and lower in calories. Read other articles on small tips and tricks on how to bring general fitness and weight loss into your life. The entire concept of this article is that a lifestyle change doesn't have to be large to actually make a difference. Keep it small and simple in the beginning and celebrate even your small accomplishments. Good luck

Mini workouts to keep fit and healthy

2007-10-22T14:17:00.000-07:00

Having trained new moms, golfers, athletes and the average joe for over 7 years has brought me to one conclusion about fitness: Everyone is different and the one size fits all approach does not work. In school and in workshops fitness instructors are taught anatomy and technique, but what we have to learn: is getting clients results on a long term basis through motivation a creativity. Designing an exercise program is the easy part, figuring out how to fit it into a busy person's schedule is the tough part. My solution has been to divide large workouts into mini 5 or 10 minutes body blast workouts through out the day. Experts agree that the benefits of exercise are accumulative.(Which means you do not have to dedicate a continuous 60 minutes of your day in order to gets results). If you do a triset ( 3 different exercises without rest one after the other) for a specific body part until there is muscle failure, than results can be achieved. The key is to cut it up over the day and the week. You also want to allow at least a 48 hour rest period between muscle groups. I have devised hundreds of these type of anywhere no equipment programs and they work. Although I have seen results from these programs, I would advise any person to set an appointment with their doctors to go through a medical check-up before beginning any exercise program. After which a hunt for the right certified personal trainer should begin. If you are an experienced fitness enthusiast you will know that this type of exercise program depends on picking 3 different types of exercises that hit the same muscular family. Doing a shoulder, bicep and then triceps exercise will not give you the same type of aesthetic results as 3 shoulder exercises in triset for 3 sets. It is very important to have proper technique and guidance through out the exercise program. Once you have your program, you can then program your watch or cell phone to give you a reminder to do your 10 minute routine. Some of my clients use Microsoft Outlook at work. Remember to ask your trainer to incorporate things around you like your office chair, water bottle or even things about your work attire. (Doing lunges or squat when you are in a pencil squirt isn't very fun.) Do not be afraid to ask your instructor to explain why they are giving you certain types of stretches and exercises. If this type of fitness plan is to become a habit you must have a good relationship with your trainer because you have to change your workout plan every 8 weeks. Why? The body adapts and results stop. Just like our bodies get used to caffeine and certain chemicals it will adapt to exercise stimuli. Most of my office clients told me that it is a great way to regroup during the day or even increase your work effectiveness. Stop working every 2 hours and do a mini workout. Just having a reminder about getting up from your desk and moving will encourage a mini workout habit. I hope people will some day realize that fitness is simply about putting things into perspective and should not dominate your life. Exercise is about health and maintenance, brushing your teeth is a habit and so is showering they booth do not take that long and neither soon exercise.
