Well today it is going to be very warm, 30c, yikes who asked for that, lol. I felt much better today so was able to do my hour at the gym on the elliptical machine with ease. I spoke to an older gentleman there and he has been with the gym since 1996, I gather he goes to Florida during the winter cause he said he only goes 6 months a year. Koodos to him for doing so well and continuing his fitness into his later years, I hope that I still have half his stamina at his age.
The key to success over the long term:
We all know that fit people use fat more efficiently as a fuel, and that active people are more likely to have a healthier lifestyle. So it should be noted that the most important factor to exercise for weight loss is making activity achievable. Rather than sticking to a regime that may or may not give the person small increases in fat utilization the focus must be on methods that ensure the person is active and remains active. Often inherent enjoyment in the activity can be the greatest motivator for change. Exercise must be achievable, realistic and easy to stick with over the long term. While the scope of this text is fat loss via nutrition, is greater with an exercise plan. Many people now use personal trainers to not only program their exercise but also to assist with their motivation. It is important to remember that fit people burn fat easier than unfit people, so the goal should always be to increase physical activity first to get the individual on track to meet their goals.
Have you set goals for yourself?
Are they small enough to be attainable?
