Activity Horrors & Weight Loss

Addressing the Most Common Blockades for Dieters

One of the biggest mistakes that new dieters often make is hitting the gym too fast, too furious and too frequently.

Although activity is necessary for optimum health, going beyond the bar can leave the body in worse condition than it was before the extreme exercise.

Running like a spotted ape down the side of the road, shirtless - in the middle of summer - in the heat of the day may present the perfect conditions for a heat stroke rather than weight loss and body toning. God does want us to use our brains.  That's why He gave them to us.

Here are a few tips that might just take the horror out of exercise:

Choose an activity that you really enjoy.  You'll be more apt to stick with something you really like to do.  It's when work becomes play.

Start out slow and pace yourself.  If you choose walking, then once you walk five minutes; the next time walk ten.  Build up slowly.

Once you reach X-amount of minutes, try adding ankle weights to your walk.

Warm up before fast-paced or intense exercise periods.

Wear protective gear when the activity calls for such.  Biking down a concrete lane and falling to the ground without a helmet might break that wittle head.

Keep in mind that the body receives enormous health benefits when we do aerobic exercise.  So you'll want to get your heart rate up while you are exercising to strengthen lungs, the heart, the circulatory system, and to tone.

Be respective of the power of the sun.

Keep hydrated.

Be sure to pamper your body after exercising.  A little lotion here, and a lot there makes the difference in 'Oh No' and "Oh Yes!'.
