"Procrastination is the thief of time," is a phrase, which applies aptly to the continued postponement of our intentions to kick-start a balanced diet regime and an exercise routine that are the cornerstones of our aspirations for weight loss. We find that most of the people around us are already into a proper regime of exercise and diet as part of their daily routine. We only need a little determination and will power to start our regime, set our goals, and if all our family members were to join in, the whole exercise will be both fun and fruitful.
Many people set goals that are impossible and regret their difficulty in achieving them. The secret is to set realistic goals that you can practically achieve and accordingly lose weight. Setting a deadline for achieving your target is also good motivation to reach your objectives on time.
You must ensure that progressive systematic improvements are measurable against the targets set by you. You can do this best by taking photographs at each stage and recording the important data on your body measurements and performance at regular intervals.
The best way to record your findings is to maintain a notebook and log all-important matters including the time you spend on your fitness regime and the progress you achieve, and compare it with the pre-determined figures prepared on a monthly, weekly or daily basis.
Enter all your aspirations regarding weight loss and their schedules in your notebook in advance and compare them with the actual figure on daily, weekly, or hourly basis so that you know where you stand, and what adjustments you have to make, in the future, to correct your results to your pre-stated positions. This will give you a clear picture of your performance viz a viz your goals.
Concentrate more on Cardio exercise that you can do without equipment and accessories. Instead, concentrate on simple exercises that lead you to an acceptable level of body fitness without spending anything at all.
If you match your body composition with your target on a monthly basis, you will easily understand whether you are on target to reach your goals.
You can increase your knowledge on the subject of fitness by perusing the thousands of websites on the subject or by subscribing to a weekly, fortnightly on the monthly magazine that you can order mailed to you.
Diet is an important factor in weight loss and fitness. A protein, vitamin plus essential nutrient diet taken in a balanced fashion in small quantities at regular intervals will go a long way in your endeavors for weight loss and fitness. Drinking plenty of water helps, you get rid of the toxins in the body.
