A Weight Loss Fitness Program That’s Right for You

A good weight loss fitness program never promises pie in the sky results. Programs that say you’ll lose thirty pounds in two weeks and their like never have results that last very long and may actually prove to be dangerous.
To achieve our goals, we need to see weight loss in a new light. Get ready for lasting results!
Fad diets and quick results are only a short term fix, most people gain all the weight back and then some. True approaches to weight loss are never quick and take some time.
We need to keep in mind that we didn’t gain all that extra weight over night, getting rid of it once and for all will be the same way – over time.
I don’t know about you, but I would prefer a weight loss fitness program where I can see lasting results as opposed to the yo-yo effect any day. Even if it does take a bit of time to achieve.
The key here is simple. MINI GOALS that are ACHIEVABLE. Go back and read that line again.
You should set a goal to loose 1-2 pounds a week.
Now I can hear you groaning, saying “That’s too slow! I need to loose this weight now. You don’t understand!!!”
Well, I do. You see, there was a time when I got lazy and stopped my involvement in martial arts and started eating ice cream and other junk like it was going out of style.
I got FAT.
I wasn’t myself any more and was depressed and unhappy.
I got back into martial arts and added this weight loss fitness program:
regular daily workouts and a sensible diet:
Drink as much water as possible, cut out as much salt, sugar, fats, and processed carbs from my diet six as I could days a week with Sundays being my days off.
On Sunday, I didn’t have to work out at all and could eat anything I wanted, as much as I wanted. My days off were and are important because I would look at a piece of cake or pass up a McDonald’s and say to myself “I’ll have it on my day off.” When that day came, I found that I didn’t want to eat everything that I had put off having.
This is what worked for me. It was easy and doable. If you are tired with the yo-yo effect, give the Strip That Fat weight loss fitness program above a try. You just might find that it’s right for you too.

Hi Kim,
What you need is a good cardio and eating program. One that I suggest is to use a treadmill in the following way:
Start with a speed of an easy (not leisurely) walk. I started at 2.5 mph. and increase that speed daily by a tenth of a mile per hour (0.1 mph) every day and use that piece of equipment for at least 30 minutes straight.
In other words day 1 would look like this using the treadmill for 30 minutes at 2.5 mph
Day 2 would be 30 minutes at 2.6 mph
Day 3, 30 minutes at 2.7 mph. And so on….
Soon you will be running faster and burning more calories than you thought possible.
The key to this is consistency. You need to do this on a daily basis, You can have a day off. I use Sundays. But come Monday, I get back on and continue where I left off .1 mph over last time.
The best program I have found to help you reach your goals is Strip That Fat I have a review on my blog right under the Tips to a Flat Stomach ad.
Strip That Fat is a good program that has lasting results and has helped a lot of people. It will get you where you want to be.
Hope this helps.
