Weight Loss Basics


The Joy of Exercise

Healthy Weight Loss



The most beneficial weight loss program will assist you in achieving your weight loss target and improve your health and fitness.

If you lose weight and don't lose fat, you are setting yourself up for potential health risks and eventual weight gain.  Eating nutritious foods and maintaining an exercise regime are essential to permanent weight loss.

If you serious about changing your life, want to lose weight, and believe in yourself, then take a look at what Jillian Michaels can offer.  Her disciplined approach is self, science and sweat.  Jillian's program incudes a seven step approach to modify your behavior.  Her prescription for a healthy lifestyle is 33 percent attitude, 33 percent diet and 33 percent exercise.

Her weight loss program doesn't claim to be an immediate fix to all your weight problems.  Jillian insists success comes from hard work and dedication.  Losing weight is about calories in versus calories out.

To lose two pounds a week, you have to burn 1000 calories per day more than you take in.  You do have to work at it.  

 

 
Jillian's system has customizable meal plans, along with daily meal and snack suggestions.  You receive a weekly fitness planner based upon your reported fitness level, so be sure you are honest with yourself.  If you lie, your results will be less than stellar and you'll probably blame her program instead of where the blame is. Yourself!
 
The routines give you a complete breakdown on what muscles are involved, how to begin your exercise, how to actually do the exercise, training tips and variations.
 
                Jillian Michaels 

Jillian Michaels is convinced that you can't achieve success without a support structure.  You can find weight loss buddies and message boards to get support and advice from members that are in the same age bracket and geographical area, and have the same fittness level as you.  You can take advantage of over 100 recipes and swap new ones with your friends.

Additional tools include an iPhone and Wi application, and Jillian's own podcasts.  You can also subscribe to her newest 360 Degree Weight Loss Navigator.  This armband records your caloric burn, steps taken, physical activity, and sleep efficiency.  You can sync it online to log your daily food details, get personalized feedback from Jillian, see a visual representation of your weight loss and view your overall progress.

Some of my first words on this page, were: The most beneficial weight loss program will assist you in achieving your weight loss target and improve your health and fitness.

So, if you don't think the Jillian Micael's program is a good fit for your personality then take a look at the Live Body Coach program.


Ideas to Help You On Your Weight Loss Journey


  • Take an honest look at your eating patterns and daily routine.  Begin writing a journal or diary with this information.  Include your thoughts about your day.  These can give you clues about your eating patterns.
  • Stay focused.  Don't beat yourself up when you occasionally get off track.  It's not the end of the world.  You're learning - remember that! 
  • Count calories (if it goes into your mouth, count it). 
  • Don't be obsessed with weighing yourself every day.
  • Get active and stay active.  Be innovative.  Try new things.  Take time to play.

    Workout Equipment


    All you really need to get started is comfortable clothing to work out in and appropriate shoes for what you are doing.
     
    The main reasons people give up on exercising are:
    1. Boredom from lack of variety - look for options and change what you do.
    2. Not getting the results expected.  Be patient.  Did you get where you are in 30 days?
    3. Soreness.  It will go away.  Do however, distinguish it from pain
     
    As you transform your life through exercise and eating more healthy, you may decide that you do want to invest in home equipment and programs.
     
    That decision is yours.
     
    You may be surprised that some of the best equipment and programs are not that expensive, can take up very little space, can be mobile (go with you) and help you get fabulous results.
     
    There are four systems I endorse:  They are the APY60, NEXERSYS, TOTAL GYM and, TRX.   I endorse them because:
    • All offer the best safety features available.
    • The variety of routines available 
    • Are user friendly for beginning and advanced fitness levels
    • All use the "whole body" concept.
    • Are not hype - they do not make unrealistic promises.
