Exercise
Of course, exercise is still important. Most people think “exercise” and instantly get overwhelmed, because they are thinking, “how do I get rid of all this extra weight?!” Don’t focus on the weight, think more of how you will speed your metabolism up so much that your body will naturally just get rid of the weight. I see weight loss as a journey and the first thing to deal with is how to break the journey down into small parts to look at that will make it less overwhelming in the long haul. Look at the individual steps, versus climbing the mountain. Here are a few exercise tips you can try out: -Instead of doing an hour or two hour long run, try doing a 30 minute run in the morning and a 30 – 45 minute run again in the evening. -Instead of getting an hour of exercise in the gym, pick an exercise in the morning and do sets of it throughout the day randomly. A set of 20 pushups, 50 squats, or 60 lunges may only take you 5 minutes and can be done throughout the day without getting in the way. Drop and give me 20!! Then get back to your business! The focus is to create lots of small energy demands throughout the day that your body MUST compensate for by maintaining a higher energy burn throughout the day. This way, your body’s energy systems are not really given a chance to go back down and stay down, they are kept awake throughout the day. Four sets of 50 squats in one day is 200 squats. A set of 50 squats may only burn off 70 – 100 calories at the moment, but doing that every few hours will tell your body to maintain a higher overall energy demand throughout the day; help build more muscle; and be able to raise your overall daily energy burn. If you can raise your body’s ability to burn calories even only .25 additional calories per minute will become an extra 400
76
calories by the end of the day that you didn’t need to spend an hour in the gym working for. This isn’t counting the energy demand/time that you spent actually doing the squats or performing your exercise of choice. This is a really simple example, but, you really could be looking at an extra thousand calories that you burn by the end of the day just by this simple practice.
