Weight Loss: Make It Easy

The holiday season is a time of sentimentality, family, and good cheer. 

But it’s also a time to consider whether you are really making the best use of your time.

Weight loss is one of those things that everyone should consider doing for them-selves. It’s not as simple as saying “I want to lose weight.” If you don’t have the willpower or desire to do it on your own, it may be better if you enlist a professional to help with this task. The problem is that weight loss isn’t an easy thing to accomplish in the short-term. You can make some progress over the course of a month by exercising regularly and eating nutritious food but doing so will take longer than a few weeks — especially if you think that what you’re eating isn’t helping you lose weight.

So how should you go about losing weight? It doesn’t matter how strict or arbitrary your exercise regime is prescribed by your doctor; if it doesn’t work for you, then there isn't much point in pursuing it at all.                                                                              

A study conducted at Stony Brook University found that obese people who exercised didn't lose any weight compared to their sedentary counterparts after four months; whereas those who did an extreme regimen (like hitting the treadmill for 30 minutes daily) lost more weight than expected after just three weeks (the same amount of time as people believed they had been exercising for). But even though these findings aren't encouraging, there is still hope that regular exercise can help you shed some pounds without consuming lots of calories or risking injury — at least when it comes to burning fat.

Reasons to keep fit over the Holiday Season

There’s no reason to be alarmed. There’s more to weight loss than fat. There is a lot of it. The problem is not the weight itself, but how it’s measured.

The American Journal of Physiology, for example, published a study in 2010 that found that for women who weigh less than 150 pounds (68 kilograms), their bodies burn calories at a rate equal to or higher than those who weigh more than 300 pounds (136 kilograms). For women weighing between 150 and 300 pounds (68 – 136 kilograms), their body metabolizes calories at the same rate as those weighing more than 400 pounds (181 kilograms). And for women weighing between 200 and 400 pounds (90 – 181 kilograms), their bodies burn calories at a rate equal to or higher than those weighing more than 700 pounds (318 kilograms).

 How to keep fit over holiday season

 We’re all in the same boat.

Whether we are celebrating the return of the old year or not, it is worth keeping fit over the festive period. This time of year, however, isn’t just about eating right and losing weight. It’s about exercising and getting yourself off to a healthy start in 2018. If you have just started your new year’s resolution (which we recommend you do as they are a great way to kick-start your goals) then it is important that you focus on what you can do this Christmas to take off that extra kilos and make it back to your ideal weight for New Year’s Day.

Conclusion 

Achieving a healthy weight is an important goal for many. However, it can be difficult. There are many factors that affect your weight, including age and gender. In this article we will address the importance of looking after physical fitness.

Fitness and health have been linked directly with weight loss, so why should you make dieting or exercise a New Year's resolution? The answer is simple: losing weight isn’t only about what you eat, but also about how much you burn while exercising.

So, let’s dive into some key messages to help you make the most of your New Year’s resolutions:

1. Find A Partner – It’s never too late to begin training together with a like-minded partner.

2. Exercise Regularly – Exercise increases circulation and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke, two major killers in our population today. It can also help improve your health by reducing stress levels and lowering blood pressure (and improving mental health too!). See if you can find someone else to join you in training together!

3. Stay Hydrated – Drink more water than usual during exercise to keep your body hydrated during intense workouts as well as when resting afterwards, particularly if it's raining outside!

4. Get Involved – Being active means doing something that keeps you fit and healthy — getting involved with others who are also interested in sports could be just the thing to spark enthusiasm among those who aren't usually keen on physical activity!

5. Drink Lots Of Water – Water helps keep your muscles working at their best; drink lots of it! Don't forget that also drinking plenty of fruit juices is also very beneficial for hydrating your body!
