Daily Motivation for Successful Weight Loss

Why do you want to lose weight? Is it to have less fat on your
body? Or is it because of the well being you think you will feel
without your extra pounds? Do you think that you will acquire
more vitality, be more seducing, which will boost your
confidence and self-esteem? Almost everything that we do aim to
modify the way we feel. We really determine our future the
moment we take a firm decision. For me, everything changed the
day that I’ve decided that I was engaging myself to become and
obtain what I would like in life. Think about it. There is a
difference between being interested in something and engage
yourself towards it. Often, people say: “Oh! I would like to
lose some weight.” But these kinds of declarations are not an
engagement. We are simply enouncing one of our preferences such
as: “It interests me, as long as I don’t have to lift a finger.”
This is not power. Unfortunately, people don’t take action,
because they are to occupied to invent themselves some excuses.
If they didn’t reach their goal or if they don’t live their
dream life, they put forward the way they were raise, the
absence of choice when they were young, the lack of instruction
or the fact that they are to old. All these excuses are
insignificant. They are not only restrictive, but also
destructive. If you don’t fix yourself some basic rules that you
are ready to accept in your life, you’ll see that it is very
easy to slip into unhealthy behavior or attitude. If you take
the firm decision to lose weight, you can do it. Your life will
change the moment you take a firm decision. Will you finally
decide today that you are more than what you’ve shown so far? Is
it today that you will decide once and for all to harmonize your
life saying: “This is who I am. Here is my life and here is what
I do. Nothing will prevent me to accomplish my destiny. I won’t
accept that we deny what I am.” To take a real decision, is to
engage yourself to obtain a precise result and to refuse any
other possibility. Understand that what is most difficult, when
we want to accomplish something, is to take a firm engagement, a
real decision. The tough part with exercise is getting out there
and doing it. Exercise has to become one of your priorities. You
have to make time for it. You have to find a passion. If you
don’t like what you’re doing, you won’t do it. Set a goal. Try
to improve your times or lift more weight. Put on more muscle
through resistance training. The muscle burns more calories
around the clock. Eventually, the workouts that once invigorated
you now leave you feeling blah! You have to reinvent yourself
and change the way you do things. These tips will help you stay
motivated. Train for an event, or pretend you are Split your
routine up so that you work your upper body and lower body on
different days. Hit the hills, you’ll burn almost 25% more
calories. Try a different exercise for every muscle group. Hire
a personal trainer. Change the number of sets you are doing,
every 2 to 4 weeks, increasing the weight as you decrease the
repetitions. Use a heart rate monitor and gauge you progress.
Add intervals to your cardio. Alternate 2 minutes of high
intensity exercise with 1 minute of lower intensity. Use heavier
weights. You need to get to the point where you can absolutely
not do another repetition. Try a new routine. Have someone help
you in the gym. Join a team. Count to 10 when you lift the
weight, and to 5 when you lower it again. It can increase your
strength by almost 50%. Try Yoga or Pilates. These disciplines
force you to move your body in a different way, which also build
stronger abdominals and back muscle. Exercise should be a part
of your life, like eating, drinking and breathing. You should
aim to make your daily exercise routine a normal daily
occurrence. 5 ways to fight plateaus Vary your weights Change

cardio to your weight workouts Instead of a circuit, do a series
of supersets. Perform each move back-to-back with a move that
emphasizes the same muscles.
