Focus On The Benefits Of Losing Weight!

Try to change your thinking, it may just be what you need to lose weight.

Instead of focusing on the results (which are often unrealistic) focus on the immediate benefits you'll gain from eating better and exercising more.

Benefits are immediate such as:
  • Sleeping better
  • Having more energy
  • Being more connected with your body.

Unfortunately, we've been programmed to believe that weight loss is the only valuable piece of being active and eating well.

If you are thinking only of the weight loss, it will keep your efforts short lived, why? Because weight loss (fast and easy) is not necessarily the first benefit that is derived from eating better and exercising.

And for many, if weight loss isn't experienced right away, all hope is lost and it's back to inactivity and poor nutrition.

Find Your Lactate Threshold

What's that you may be asking? LT is the point at which lactic acid accumulates in your blood faster than your body can process it—causing a drop in performance.
  • Training below your LT builds aerobic capacity.
  • Training above it builds speed.

How to determine your LT: (1) Warm up, 10 minutes. (2) With a heart-rate monitor on, run or cycle on a flat course as fast as you can for 30 minutes.(3) Your LT is your average heart rate for that period.

I just recieved this testimonial and want to share it with you.
