A lot of you have expressed that you want to lose weight fast before the new year. And I completely understand. If you want to achieve your weight loss goal, this is the time to go all in. But I would suggest that you take a few steps back to make sure that you won’t loose your momentum. So I am going to outline 5 things to take a step back and 5 things to keep going forward.
1. Your daily exercise needs to be more frequent. When I first started I would wake up early in the morning and eat a ton of food. But that was my routine. I would do that for a day or two and then stop. The reason I stopped is because that was not consistent with my exercise routine. I had to make my exercise more frequent to make it more effective. Now you need to wake up in the morning and exercise for at least 15 to 20 minutes. It doesn’t have to be a strenuous form of exercise. I am going to suggest that you do some lunges or split squats. But I wouldn’t do them if you aren’t ready.
2. Your food consumption should also decrease. When I started doing this I ate a lot of food. And I think that was a big part of the problem. I had eaten way more food than my body needed and didn’t get my recommended nutrients. The next thing I did was increase my water intake. And I believe that was another benefit that I received for doing this. What I am suggesting is that you cut back on your caloric intake. Take the food away from yourself and give it to someone else. This way you can control how much is in your body. If you have a large family the best people to give the food to is your spouse because they are already eating a healthy diet and probably don’t need the extra. This way you won’t take in as much, and you can’t stuff yourself afterwards.
3. Get a workout partner. Don’t try to do this on your own. I had an old workout partner that I had from my former business. He was a hard worker, a true friend, and a great friend to my family and I. But he had become a workaholic. And I didn’t want to go through that. So I got into the habit with him. That way we can help each other with the workouts and push each other when the workouts aren’t going as well. I had a routine in my head of what my routine was going to be. But he made it fit. This is a huge issue. If you can’t do it on your own it doesn’t mean you can’t do it. There is help for the workout partner. The most important thing is that you do it together. If you are not getting enough exercise you can’t expect your partner isn’t to help you out. Just because you don’t want to go at your own pace, doesn’t mean your partner is going to. You both just have to get some exercise.
4. Use supplements that are recommended by some doctor or other expert. Don’t start using supplements if you don’t see yourself getting enough exercise. You need that advice of somebody. It’s not that they are against them, it’s just they might just be not necessary. I used to use supplements for a while when I did a certain routine. But I just got fed up of waiting until some time I thought I was getting stronger. I used to feel a lot better when I had taken my supplements. But the supplements just made me feel like I was going through the motions. So I stopped, then I started back, then I stopped. But I kept my exercise routine. Now the supplements are not needed, but I use them because I always feel good when I am working out.
5. Don’t do more than is necessary. The idea here is that you can hurt yourself while trying to do a lot more than is needed. The exercise routine could go on for hours. And you won’t notice because the feeling you feel when you are doing the routine is enough exercise, which is great. Until the next routine comes along. This is exactly what could happen when you add on exercises to your routine. The next routine might end up making you stronger than you were originally. So don’t add on more exercises. But don’t start doing the routines until the previous one is done.
6. Don’t do the routine if you can’t do it for more than 5 minutes. This is just common sense. The exercise is for only 5 minutes, you don’t want to push yourself beyond that. There is absolutely no reason to push yourself beyond the limit. And there really is very little reason to do it unless you are feeling ill or have a cold.
7. Don’t do the routine if you don’t enjoy it. Don’t do the routine because you don’t like the music playing. Or the fact that it’s raining outside. Or because it’s not an aerobics routine. Or because it’s your birthday. These are just some of the reasons that you shouldn’t start doing the routine. You can always decide to do a next routine once the previous routine is done.
