Walk Your Way Slimmer

If you are looking for something that you can do that costs you nothing, will lift your mood while also improving your fitness levels and boost your metabolism, then why not get out of the house and go for a walk? It might sound like a pretty stupid thing because its something that everyone does, but when you really think about it, you’ll see that you can turn this everyday action into a pretty useful fitness booster.

It probably sounds almost laughable to some people that all they need to do is take a walk and lose some weight, but in essence, that is exactly what you can do. Of course there is walking and there is walking. You have to choose to do the right kind of walking for it to be beneficial and effective.

There is the regular, slow kind of walking that most folks do. This won’t do you a great deal of favors, although if you do no other form of exercise, even this is better than nothing at all. At least it will get you outdoors and into the fresh air and some exposure to natural daylight. You actually need some daily exposure to sunlight so that your body can manufacture its own vitamin D, which has recently been linked with weight loss. Low levels of this vitamin have been linked with weight gain, so you need to maintain a healthy level of vitamin D. Exposure to sunlight is the way to do this and even ten to fifteen minutes a day with the sun on your face only will usually be sufficient.

Natural daylight also lifts your mood, because it stimulates the release of serotonin, which is the body’s home made feel good hormone. Lack of natural daylight is linked with depression, and this can also lead to weight gain and overeating to compensate. So get outdoors every day and enjoy some good old fashioned sunshine!

The other form of walking is a faster paced walk that you do with some determination and forcefulness. This brisk walking pace is perfect for boosting the body’s metabolism while forcing the muscles to work harder than normal to burn more energy. A good half hour or more walking at an elevated pace can, over time, actually result in some weight loss as long as you are combining it with a healthy, calorie controlled diet and make sure your are drinking plenty of plain water.

If you aren’t already doing this, then you might want to try it out for size. If you have a dog, its even better because you will naturally need to take him out for a walk twice a day or more. If you don’t have a dog, then get one! Or just get yoruself out and take yoruself for a walk!

Get Motivated to Lose Weight

Filed under: weight loss — Tags: , , , — slimmer @ 12:05 am

What is it that keeps one person sticking with their diet or whatever program they are using to lose weight, while another seems to keep quitting and never achieving much? Its not lack of information, because there is plenty of it to be found online these days and the Internet is at everyone’s fingertips. So i t must be something at a personal level that some folks have and others don’t. Its a driving force that’s often referred to as “motivation”.

The term motivation was actually coined by the rock n roll singer and guitarist, Chuck Berry back in the 1960s, but it didn’t find its way into popular dictionaries until much later. The word is an excellently descriptive one that means an positive mental attitude backed up by motive forces and determination to succeed at whatever it is you are attempting to do.

Being motivated to lose weight is the driving force back of anyone who seems to be able to drive themselves on regardless of any external obstacles and refuse to quit. Lack of motivation is what has many people reaching for the packet of potato chips and heading for a long shift on the sofa in front of the TV.

Whether you have this motivation or not, if you need to lose weight you are going to have to find it. You should generally follow the more basic tips for weight loss as part of your daily strategy, of course. All the while, you can be putting into practice the right ideas and back of those ideas will be the driving force that is motivation.

If you don’t feel you are sufficiently motivated to do the work you need to do in order to lose weight, then chances are you will fail. So you need to pick yourself up and find that motive force that will carry you through and see the final result of your labors. Get interested in losing weight and drum up some enthusiasm over it. This is what kicks off the necessary internal attitude that will motivate you to get motivated!

Keep to Your Diet

Filed under: diet — Tags: , , , , , — slimmer @ 12:23 am

It will come as no great surprise that dieting is the most popular form of weight loss and this is probably due to it seeming a lot easier than getting physical and working out to achieve the same end. While that may not necessarily be true ( that part about achieving the same and), it doesn’t stop millions of hopeful people starting yet another diet plan every day.

The problem many people have is in staying with their chosen diet and seeing through all the way to the bitter end. It makes sense to figure out how to stick to your diet and lose weight, because it is in sticking with a diet without cheating that makes it a successful one. In fact, the diet itself is rarely at fault if a person fails to lose any weight. the fault is nearly always with the person.

That’s because people lack that determination and motivation that is so necessary to achieving success. They go into it with enough enthusiasm, but soon get bored with eating a restrictive diet where they can’t have the things they like to eat, which are invariably the things that caused the weight gain in the first place. It takes a pretty strong will to avoid being tempted to sneak a crafty snack when you think no one is looking.

Problem is that even though no one may be looking, there is always one person who knows exactly what you did. That person is you! When you cheat on a diet, the only person you are cheating is yourself!

So stop cheating yourself and fooling yourself into believing that you can still lose weight even if you are not sticking to your diet. You can’t, so you might as well stick to it and lose weight successfully and feel a whole load better for doing it!
