Is Weight Loss In Your New Year's Plans?
For an awful lot of people, one of their key New Year's resolutions is to lose weight and get in shape. It's a great resolution, but you have to have a plan to make it succeed. All too often I've seen the January 15th syndrome. What is that? It's when someone is really motivated to succeed this year, so they go to the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and they work out hard. They even go on a diet. It's great...
...until after two weeks or so, they are fed up with waking up tired on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and of being hungry most of the time. So, on or about January 15th, they say, "Losing weight and exercise will have to wait until next year." Thus, the January 15th syndrome.
Have you been a sufferer? Are you about to be one? I can help you. I've explained why exercise alone will not succeed at getting your weight down. (if you want to see that explanation, click here: http://scootersweightloss.blogspot.com/2004/11/portion-control-helps-you-lose-weight.html) But how do I exercise to lose weight without getting tired? My experience is that most exercise induced fatigue is caused by exercising too intensively. If you exercise with less intensity, the fatigue does not occur and you can exercise longer (thus burning more calories) and actually achieve greater weight loss by not getting fatigued.
One of the best tools for judging exercise intensity is a heart rate monitor, but a monitor is NOT required (though convenient) in order to do this. The key message today is that by intelligently exercising and modifying your eating, you can succeed at weight loss.
