Simple Tips

Some things to know so you don’t get frustrated:

1  Healthy weight loss is 1-2 lbs per week.
2  It is normal when beginning a weight loss program to gain weight in the beginning.
3  It is also normal to plateau. Last season we had a few people plateau for weeks at a time. It was very frustrating for them, but they didn’t gain weight and eventually broke through the barrier.
4  Drink plenty of water all day long. If your pee is pale yellow or clear, you’re doing great! Water not only helps you stay hydrated but is a key chemical ingredient in helping your body to burn glycogen for energy for your workouts.
5  I recommend doing cardio and weights. More muscle mass boosts metabolism.
6  Everyone’s body responds differently to different exercises. Sherry is a runner by nature. She loves it. Her husband hates it and running has never given him great weight loss results. But they bought him a Bowflex and the weight really started coming off.
7  Find a type of exercise that you will enjoy. You will be more likely to keep going if you look forward to your workouts. But don’t be afraid to do things you don’t like if they help. Getting out of your comfort zone is always a key ingredient in any area of growth.
