Talking Openly About Weight Loss
By Chet Sandeksi
If you are currently trying to lose weight, you are not alone. Millions of Americans today are on some kind of diet or weight loss plan in hopes that they will lose weight.
For some, simply eating right and performing regular exercise is enough of an effort to make their target weight. But for others, the process can be more difficult.
This is especially true for individuals who, for a variety of reasons, cannot actively participate in the standard cardiovascular exercises that most people participate in to lose weight. Cardiovascular exercise has been shown to be one of the most effective exercise methods for those who are striving to lose weight.
He and his doctor came up with three simple steps to assure his improvement. Those three steps are as follows:
First, they created a diet that dropped his daily intake of calories to 2,000. His diet consisted of egg-white omelets, fresh salads, chicken fajitas, fish fillet and spring greens. This diet did two things for him. First, it reduced the sheer amount of food Manuel was eaten. Instead of eating several hearty meals, his food intake was reduced drastically. The second thing it did was concentrate his diet on healthier foods. He received a more balanced diet that contained all of the normal, healthy nutrients that the body needs. With a controlled diet, the body can start shedding excess fat.
Second, he began an exercise routine that he could handle in bed. Simply dancing around to music for an extend amount of time was better than nothing. Getting the heart rate up is what matters to burning fat. Regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day helps to shed the pounds the body doesn't need to survive.
People especially don't like changing the things that love and are familiar with. For example, they do not want to exercise more. They are used to rarely exercising or not exercising at all, so they do not want to change from that routine. Changing that routine would require work, effort, and pain, and people simply do not want to do it.
If a punching bag is not a good fit for the needs of the person looking to perform healthy cardio, then perhaps turning to the pool would be a respectable alternative. Swimming laps in a pool, like the other standard cardio exercise, has long since been a proven and effective cardio work out.
Swimming is likewise less impactful on a person's back, hips, knees, and ankles, making it a quality exercise for those who wish to avoid over use of their legs while exercising. Other options for those who want to lose weight through cardio exercise but who cannot use their legs while exercising include any action that works the big muscles in the arms and hips, such as rowing, air boxing, pushups, and rope pulling.
Add in an exercise routine and a little bit of patience and you'll soon be wondering where all those pounds got to. Not that you'll be missing them of course.
