Anyone who tries to take shortcuts only set themselves up for failure if you don't deal with the urges to splurge, or quit, and procrastination to do what needs to be done right away.
Let me tell you about my first day back in the process, again!
The one common denominator in all diets and exercise to become successful is hard work.
Anyone who tries to take shortcuts only set themselves up for failure if you don't deal with the urges to splurge, or quit, and procrastination to do what needs to be done right away. Let me tell you about my first day back in the process, again! It's one thing to stand on your feet and just move your arms as in previous exercises of the Power 90 In-home Boot Camp's Sculpt 1-2 program. It's quite another when you're using your arms to lift and lower your body weight in an exercise, like the Chair Dips seen here. Let's talk about that and the benefits of using just your body weight to build and tone your muscles while you exercise in this post. What a shock when I looked at this record from the scale today which I got while visiting the GNC at the local mall! From last week's great news of having dropped 23 pounds in less than 7 days, I actually gained 1.5 pounds. Over-confident and too liberal with my eating habits, and too many cheat days this past week and the results were somewhat disheartening. In this post, I'm resolving to step up my game and get vigilant to... When I started this journey to reduce my weight through OMAD, one-meal-a-day, and exercise using the Power 90 In-home Boot Camp, I could barely get through the workout without totally wiping out! Today, I'm actually contemplating doing the Sweat 1- 2 Cardio workout two times in the day. Crazy?! Yeah, maybe. But this is what I call progress! Let's talk about it. I watched my video I did on Day 2, when the exercises were started again for the first time in many years and remembered how I talked about how important my self-talk must be if I'm going to achieve my goals.
In this post we'll discover how exercising the mouth by speaking positively to promote weight loss is key to achieving the goals I've set, and hopefully you've set as well. Since starting this plan intentionally on the 30th (Thursday) with my first blog post, my actual day I started was on Friday, the 31st.
In order to pursue my goal of weighing 300 pounds, minus the 165 pounds excess I started with, and using Power 90 In-home Boot Camp my exercise of choice, though, it has only been a week that has passed since Friday. Why I chose the OMAD, or one meal a day diet, plan is the focus of my post today. Today is my "day off" from the exercise routine as my trainer/friend Karen recommended. It's also Weigh-in Day for the first week of the program I put myself on in order to lose (release) weight and get more agility, stamina and energy. In this post, I will cover what progress has come to pass so far. In the beginning of this blog, around Day 1 and Day 2, I chose to skip past yoga as part of the Sweat 1-2 routine of the Power 90 In-home boot camp exercises.
In this post, I will mention three main reasons why I'm skipping past yoga. Hello friends!
In this post I want to tell you what might be the greatest exercise new starts, like me, must do to succeed in any weight loss quest using exercise and diet. At the recommendation of my friend I mentioned in yesterday's video, Karen Kaplan, I started my quest to better health with doing my first day of exercises using a DVD I purchased from Karen back in May of 2010.
With a goal to reduce and release 165 pounds through diet and exercise, this first day was humiliating to show to the world what happens when you don't eat right nor exercise regularly and it all collects in the middle. Yuck! Some people like working out alone at the gym. They don't like crowds or people talking that interfere with their "getting into their zone." Others, like me, find working out alone at the gym has some safety concerns. We'll look at a couple in the video here and in the article afterward. Take a look. New Year’s Day’s most popular resolution in America is what? Lose weight, right? Those of us who are willing to admit it will either say they’ve done it once or they’ve done it numerous times, i.e. resolved to lose weight and get into great shape in time to wear the latest swimsuit to show off our six-pack abs and enviable physical shape. Before we look at this article, let's look at what happens at many public and home gyms in the following video... I'm writing this article because one of my personal trainer friends recently told me that I have a high metabolism that allows me to lose weight easily. At times, I'm able to lose 100 pounds in 6 months with the right diet and exercise, as I've proved several times in the past 20 years. You might be asking how to boost your metabolism and lose weight fast, right? I'm going to add the top ten most watched YouTube videos for your entertainment and instruction. In yesterday's post, I shared how my brother's bullying and teasing could be best illustrated by using an old advertisement for Charles Atlas, "The World's Most Perfectly Developed Man."
Looking at the fine print of the ad at the bottom of yesterday's blog post, I researched and found out some interesting facts regarding Charles Atlas. Yesterday, I brought up the subject of exercise accountability with incentives and rewards with respect to exercise. Are the effects of using incentives and rewards useful to promote a regular exercise regimen? In this post, I'll share how being teased and body-shamed into exercising never works long term. The month of September 2016 is a month in which I am looking to "win" some money for exercising. Supposedly, the product owners of the monthly shake I'm drinking has put up between $1 million and $3 million dollars to be divided equally between all qualified participants who complete their month of shakes and fitness training. They're banking on exercise accountability using an app to track our progress. Does exercise accountability still work when the incentives or rewards are introduced? I've been looking at getting a personal trainer to come to my residence where I have keyed access to a fitness room and gymnasium just walking distance from my residence. Instead of going to a commercial gym where I don't know whose germs are lingering or what girl is wearing spandex that's two sizes too small or some guy is wanting to get friendly in ways I don't want to even imagine. Strength training is not dependent on how much you sweat but more so on how much you lift. If it happens to be slightly cooler in the gym take that as a sign of comfort. Use your comfort to spend an extra 15-20 minutes at the gym and extend your workout. (Source) In the quote above, the consensus with some fitness bloggers is that air conditioning in moderation can help the fitness conditioner to stay longer in the gym and exercise longer. That may be, but when the conditioner is trying to max out on supersets and interval training, sweating is inevitable. The last thing I want is... |
