MAKING THE MOST OUT OF MORNINGS

Exercising in the mornings can prove to be beneficial in maintaining a good routine that helps promote weight loss. Research has shown that over 90% of people who consistently exercise, do so first thing in the morning. Morning exercise routines help boost your metabolism for the day, and can keep it up and burning extra calories for up to 24 hours. People find that exercising in the morning provides them with more energy for the day. Many people also find that they have a healthier mindset and healthier appetite (they’re not as hungry throughout the day). Another advantage of exercising in the morning is that there are less chances of something disrupting your schedule.

How many times do you plan anything at the time you wake up? Try planning to wake up a little earlier for morning exercise. It’s a lifestyle change that can really bring about positive results for your physical and mental health, as well as your weight loss.

Simple Steps for Maximum Results!

In general, increasing your physical activity will help you burn calories and keep your metabolism up. However, if you want to maximize your efforts so that you’re burning fat and calories as much as possible, you can take a few simple steps. First, incorporate cardiovascular exercise into your routine at least 3 times a week. Try to make your sessions last at least 30 minutes, because it can take up to 20 minutes before your body starts burning fat (versus carbohydrate) for energy. If you can’t fit in a 30-minute session, the next best goal would be to aim for at least three 10-minute sessions.

Another step you can take is to incorporate weight-bearing exercises (i.e. hand weights, squats, lunges, etc.). Maintaining and building muscle will help you burn more calories, even at rest. A good goal would be to include two 30-minute, weight-bearing exercise sessions twice a week.

Other simple steps to take include standing instead of sitting, whenever possible. Also, getting ample sleep is important to maintaining your energy levels for daily activity. Finally, look for support to help you stay motivated and on track with your goals.

Try applying these steps to your exercise efforts. It can maximize your fat and calorie burning potential, so you can see improved weight loss results!

Kim Koski LOST 55 Pounds 71 Inches In 22 Weeks

After a summer of Pizza Hut buffets and Dairy Queen Blizzards (yes, in the same day) I found myself weighing over 200 pounds (211 to be exact). This was an all time high for me. At first, I thought the scale was wrong, then I saw the horrible truth when I saw a picture of myself from behind. I was a big tub of goo! This picture stays with me everyday as a reminder of what poor eating habits and sedentary lifestyle can lead to. I saw and ad for “get slim quick pills” and asked a friend about them. She in turn asked her mother-in-law, who owns a Diet Center about the pills. Her mother-in-law said the correct way to lose weight is with a properly balanced diet and exercise. A combination of these two factors will enhance the metabolic process and burn fat. She was right. Six months ago I joined Diet Center and it was the best thing I ever did. I have lost 55 pounds and I am more confident in my appearance and my over health has improved as well. Before I went to Diet Center, my blood pressure was consistently 140/95. Today it is 125/70. I honestly feel I am in the best shape of my life physically as well as emotionally and I have the Diet Center to thank for that! Shopping for clothes has never been more fun! Thanks Pat and thank you Diet Center!
