Healthy Weight Loss Advice – The Power of Goals

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 16:55:01 +0000

Have you ever known someone whose life appeared to be literally all over the map? One day they are learning to play golf only to turn around the very next day and take up tennis. This person might decide one day to get in better physical shape. So they purchase a piece of home exercise equipment and jump right in fast and furious. Three weeks later the exercise equipment is collecting dust and our friend is watching TV, drinking beer, and eating their weight in Polish sausages.
On the other hand, have you ever known someone who was completely committed to what they were doing? Their entire life was a laser focus on a particular accomplishment. Nothing seemed to distract them or interfere with their mission. They knew where they were going and they usually got there.
What do you think the difference is between these two people? Heredity? Maybe. Motivation? Possibly. Intelligence? Not necessarily.
The real difference between the first and second person is that person 2 knew what he or she wanted and person 1 did not. Person 2 knew what his or her outcome was going to be and person 1 did not. Person 2 had a goal with the actions steps to meet that goal. Person 1 did not.
As a result, person 2 will experience all of the richness and fulfillment life has to offer while person 1 struggles to get to the refrigerator between commercials.
Can goals make that much of a difference? You bet they can.
In 1953, the graduating seniors of Yale University were polled to determine which had written goals complete with the action steps to complete those goals. Only 3% of the graduating class had such goals. Twenty years later, the researchers interviewed the surviving members of the 1953 class and made a startling discovery. Of the members polled, the 3% that had the specific written goals had a higher quality of life and were worth more in financial terms that the entire other 97% combined!
This study clearly demonstrates the power of goal setting and focus.
I am going to provide you with a vehicle to get you to a particular destination. What and where that destination is depends on you. Stated differently, the tools I provide you will be of little use to you if you don’t know what you’re going to be using them for.
So let me ask you a question. If you knew that it would be impossible to fail and you were assured of ultimate success, what life-changing action would you take right now?
With that ultimate success mindset, take a minute and answer these questions?
1. When you look in the mirror, what would you like your body to look like?
2. In 3 months, what would you like your dress size or pant size to be?
3. How much energy would you like to have in 3 months?
4. Three months from now, what would you like your physiologic age to be?
5. In 3 months what would you like your body fat to be?
6. What would you like your body weight to be in 3 months?
Your answers to these questions (and any others you can think of) will form the basis of your goals.
How do you write goals? For goals to be effective, they must address the following components:
1. They must be specific.
2. They must be measurable.
3. They must be achievable.
4. They must be realistic
5. They must have a timetable.
6. They must have a factor of accountability.
7. They must have purpose
In addition to these elements, major obstacles to achieving your goals and ways of overcoming the obstacles should be explored. Your brain will automatically create a barrier to your goals and this is where most people get stuck. But, if you will get into the habit of listing the objections your brain raises and assigning a specific strategy to overcome each objection, you will break through any and all barriers to realizing your goals.
A well-written healthy weight loss goal may look something like this:
By January 1st, 2007 I want to decrease my dress size from a size 12 to a size 8, reduce my body fat from 25% to 17%, and lose 15 pounds so that I can attend my 25th high school reunion in the Bahamas.
For the next few minutes, decide what you really want and write your specific healthy weight loss goals down.
Remember that making a true decision means committing to achieving a result, and then cutting yourself off from any other possibility. If you know what you want, develop the specific strategy to get you there.
So go for it right now!!!

Fitness Equipment Advice For The Home Gym

admin — Mon, 02 Aug 2010 04:59:58 +0000

When deciding how to design a home gym, there are many important considerations. First you’ll need to determine how much space you can allot for this purpose. This sizing will dictate what fitness equipment you may fit into the workout space. Do you wish to have a more natural setting, or should you set the space up for entertainment, while working out? Motivation is the key to maintaining good fitness health and only you know the activities that will best motivate you.

Within your home gym, you will want to leave room for many types of fitness equipment. You’ll decide how much space you can afford to dedicate to this purpose and select the equipment that matches your unique, workout style. One thing to remember in this process is the importance of floor space. This space can be used for yoga or pilates workouts as well as stretching and relaxation exercises. In fact, it’s possible to complete thorough and effective workouts using only floor exercises like the Navy Seals Workout or other well known callisthenic routines.

You’ll also want to consider including dumbbells in your gym. These are very versatile and allow a full body workout in a small amount of space. A jump rope will provide a great cardio workout without the expense of training equipment. If you’ve got a bigger budget then you’ve got the luxury of determining whether you want to include strength training equipment or cardio fitness equipment; like treadmills, stair steppers, or ellipticals. Perhaps you can get the best of it all for your personal workout space.

If you’re looking for entertainment during your workouts, then you’ll want to install a LCD Display or TV. You can use this to watch programs and movies or connect a Wii to have fun with Wii Fit or EA Sports with virtual imagery to enhance to your physical workouts. You may position a screen wherever it makes sense. If you plan to jog on a treadmill while watching shows, than simply place a screen on the wall, with a DVD hookup, in front of the necessary fitness equipment for easy entertainment.

There are many web sites that sell leading fitness equipment online. However, At Home Fitness is your one-stop, fitness superstore – featuring the hottest brands; from Landice Treadmills to Nautilus Bikes and H2O Rowers or even Bowflex gyms. Currently, At Home Fitness is featuring a Winter Wonderland of savings offering 10 to 25% off online orders. For an awesome selection of fitness equipment and fitness advice, visit At Home Fitness to build your perfect home gym.

Some Useful Advice for a Healthy Weight Loss

admin — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 04:55:59 +0000

Healthy weight loss is the goal of many of us, even though it may sometimes seem elusive. With all the attention to the best ways to drop pounds, the following suggestions will definitely come in handy in your attempts to slim down.

Look for High Taste, Low Calorie Foods

One of the best secrets for healthy weight loss is to enjoy the food you eat. Donât try to live on a diet of foods you canât stand. It wonât work. And be sure to treat yourself regularly with foods that are high in taste but low in calories. These treats can keep you motivated for the long haul. Shrimp is a great example. You can have a dozen jumbo shrimps and only consume 60 calories. If you want something a little sweeter, add a tablespoon of whipped topping. At only 8 calories, this is one of the tastiest ways to feel like your indulging when youâre still being good.

Buy New Plates

Did you know one of the easiest steps towards healthy weight loss is reducing portion size. Most of us wouldnât know a healthy portion if it was staring up at us from a plate, especially if that plate was the size of most dinnerware. Instead, swap your largest plates for something in the seven to nine inch diameter area. By having a smaller plate, you can heap it up a little more and trick yourself into believing youâre actually eating a lot when youâre not.

Pay Attention to Calories

No matter what the fad diets say, the best way to obtain healthy weight loss is by paying attention to your calories. Research has shown that just by cutting your current caloric intake by 10 to 20% you can see modest weight loss. Of course, the best way to count calories is to invest in a small notebook you can take with you everywhere. Write down everything you eat â and by everything, we mean everything â then record the calories included. Thanks to the Internet and dozens of calorie-counting books, as well as detailed nutritional labels, this is much easier than it was a few decades ago.

Stay Busy but Stress Free

Healthy weight loss can sometimes be derailed for the worst reasons. You have a bad day at work so you come home, order a large pepperoni pizza with extra cheese, and eat the whole thing to make yourself feel better. Or maybe you have the house to yourself but nothing to do. Youâre bored, so you grab a bag of chips or a quart of ice cream and eat for entertainment. None of these ideas are good for your healthy weight loss goals but they are avoidable. First, you need to learn some good techniques for dealing with stress, such as deep breathing or meditation. Second, have plenty of ways to stay occupied. Now would be a good time to take up a new hobby (not gourmet cooking, obviously).

The Top Self Improvement Advice You Never Knew About

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:56:05 +0000

There are several self-improvement advice out there, but which of them are the most effective? Anyone likes a great technique to enhancing the self. The only thing that needs to be done is to find exactly where that source is. A really good self-improvement advice is discipline! Discipline does not mean you lose freedom. One habit down means you get tenfold the benefit. It all depends on how much you are actually willing to let go of some things so you can gain something that would benefit your life more. Initiate your self-improvement efforts by taking action! Each time you begin to slack off, breath deeply and prevent yourself from stressing on the fact that you are slacking off. Worrying won’t do anything and in fact can become a huge obstacle in reaching your goals. What you want to do now is to take pleasure in what you do. Look back to those days when you were painting, something you’ve always loved doing, and ended up painting for hours and hours on end. There is always a way to encourage yourself. You can visualize what you’re going to get for your hard work, such as money, personal fulfillment, and a reward from yourself!Another unique self-improvement advice is to visualize. This may sound so simple to do, but it is definitely effective. Visualization is the process of making a mental image with the goal of rebooting the mind. Visualization is based on the knowledge that the mind has a powerful effect on the body. Visualizing can aid in making a reality what you want to do in your mind. The first thing you need to do is to relax completely by feeling every muscle become less rigid from top to bottom. The second thing you need to do is to pretending in your mind that you are walking from one room into another room, to symbolize the act of walking from your conscious state to your subconscious state. Then, picture the results you prefer to achieve. Finally, pretend in your mind that you have indeed achieved those results. A comparable self-improvement advice is to attempt hypnosis. A counselor can aid you in doing this. During the usual mental state, a lot of people are incapable of admitting some flaws. When you subconsciously deal with what has to be worked on in life, you will have eliminated those persistent flaws you weren’t even conscious of previously. Finally, try this very effective self-improvement advice: meditation. This is very much associated with the advice talked about earlier. You may want to get more out of life but what if there are so many things to think about that you can’t even take the first step? This is what meditation is for. It can relieve all the tension and therefore keep you on track when it comes to yourself and your personal goals in life. To meditate, keep away from distraction and take long deep breaths while releasing all tense muscles. Mentally ask questions regarding who you really are. Ask yourself what you like to do, what made you proud of yourself, how content you really are in life and what is more important to you, and try to answer these questions everyday with actions. Any self-improvement advice will only be effective if you are determined to change. You are your own boss when it comes to self-improvement. So be open to possibilities as much as possible!
