HELP IN ATTAINING YOUR
WORKOUT GOALS
As previously described, there are a range of benefits from exercising,
including better sleep and an improved metabolism so that you burn fat
even when you are not exercising, better posture that reduces the risk
of back pain, and enhanced self-esteem from all the health benefits. We
recommend that you do not use your weight loss as the only indicator of
your results. Instead, look at yourself in the mirror, which is a far better
indicator of success when you are turning fat into muscle.
Do not set unrealistic goals when you begin working out. That will
quickly give rise to sore muscles, resulting in a lack of motivation when
you fail to achieve your goals. Instead, get on the bike for 20 minutes
three times a week, in order to allow your body to recover. Remember:
what you are putting into effect is a change of lifestyle, so let it take the
time it needs. Try not to do too much all at once to get in shape. Long-
term success tends to be easier to achieve when you start slowly. Take
one step at a time and make sure that you feel comfortable with your
new habits. That way, you won’t give up and fall back into an inactive
lifestyle. It is also important to understand that several elements of
everyday life can help or hinder you in achieving your goals. What you
eat has a strong bearing on your well-being, and so it is important to eat
healthily. On top of that, there are lots of little things in everyday life that
can bring about a positive result, such as using the stairs instead of the
lift. And remember, even if you do not do these things every day, every
little bit helps.
