Every great plan or journey starts with a single step – which is also true of every one’s weight loss program. If you do not start, you simply will never get there, and we all know that the hardest step is the first step – so here is a couple of little hints and tips to help make those first steps in your fat loss exercise program seem both that little easier and a little more rewarding.
First of all, plan your program. If you are planning this in addition to a healthy nutrition program, always co-ordinate to get the maximum effect. There is absolutely no point in having a series of exercises chosen that demand a high cardio workout from you when you are feeding your body on a high fiber low carb program.
When doing your fat loss exercise, drink plenty of water and/or electrolyte laden liquids to help your body replenish lost hydration.
Eat more smaller, frequent meals during the day. Spread your calorie intake around and you will start to feel less tired in the afternoons and more energized in the mornings simply from doing this.
With a fat loss exercise program, remember also to change your exercises around, especially in the cardio area. Why? If you rely on only one routine to exercise with, your body will be trained to expect it. By changing, even if you only change your routine (20 minutes on treadmill today instead of 35, and an extra 10 minutes on bike as well) and not the exercises themselves, you force the body to react to you.
Keep a training journal. It is something for you to keep track what you are doing and how you feel before and after. It will be really amazing for you when you see and read the differences you will have made after only a short period of time for yourself.
If you at some point decide you want to hire a personal trainer, this will show them exactly what you have being up to.
When done training, and this especially applies to women, eat as soon as you can. Your body will be craving food, and the best way to deal with that desire is to feed it. You should have proteins in the ratio of 3 grams per pound, you should intake 50% carbs, 30% protein and 20% fats and cut out simple sugars…
The list does seem endless of the little things needed for a complete program to help you with your fat loss exercise, but you’ll get there. To maximize your efforts, you should incorporate a good diet program to reach your weight loss goals.
