Losing Weight Is Fun

Posted on February 28, 2011November 10, 2024 by floridav

Many who seek out Orlando medical weight loss are also looking for ways to boost their routine and make weight loss fun. Here are a few great ideas so that your weight loss activities don?t end up boring. Make sure you move on out of your comfort zone, give something new a try and you will find that weight loss can be a great deal more fun- specifically in the Orlando area where there are many great activities you can try.

Have you ever watched kids playing and having fun? The things they do don?t seem like such a chore because they are having fun. Children at play are a great example of how to have fun and get fit- because they just do it naturally by having fun and this gets their daily activities needs met. Running is an excellent way to lose weight, especially if you have kids to play with as well. Run, climb, squat and have a great time burning calories while you reach your fitness goals. You might also try challenging a friend to a game- tennis, soccor, basketball, pretty much any sport you choose is going to be a fun, friendly way to compete but also to lose weight.

Having a picnic at the park can also be a great way to lose weight. Packing healthy foods and walking through a park or a beach to find just that perfect spot can be a great calorie burner, particularly if you follow up with a bike ride, a swim or even more walking.

Try Zumba! Zumba is quickly catching on as a fun way to lose weight by dancing your way to better health. Beginners courses make this new, fun cardio work out a breeze to learn and classes generally advance as you grow in skill. There are also numerous walking clubs that you can join, or even sign on for a charity walking event. If you don?t feel comfortable dancing in front of others, you can always just turn up the radio or a cd and dance at home. This is both a great way to improve your mood and help you stick to a great activity for healthy weight loss.

Hiking is another great activity that is both fun and fit- the newest craze of geocaching turns a hike into a fun, fast paced treasure hunt that can be done with groups for added fun. This takes the focus away from the exercise itself and makes the trip seem eventful and exciting. You usually walk for several hours and before you know it the day is done and you?ve burnt twice as many calories than if you had stayed at home to do it on a treadmill.

Reward yourself. At the end of a day of great activity, have a nice long soak in a hot bath and congratulate yourself on being fit and active. It?s important to keep your motivations up in any weight loss plan, particularly if you are taking on activity after having lived a sedentary lifestyle.

Don't Workout In The Summer

Posted on February 15, 2011November 10, 2024 by floridav

For many in Orlando, spring and early summer time are fantastic times to begin a new cardio work out. The weather is balmy, but then, the hotter weather may be problematic- training safety is a must for any cardio program for weight loss. Even slight exercise in hot weather can result in dehydration so this is an important factor to take into account in your weight loss plans, particularly if you mean to bring on some outdoor cardio into the mix. Understanding that dehydration can occur when ever someone?s fluid loss results in weight loss- 1-2 percent depending on body weight. Fluid loss of more than three percent will result usually in some of the more serious heat related illnesses.

First, it is important to know the signs of dehydration: dizziness, headache, nausea, weakness, thirst and irritability are just the main signs, and most who are following an outdoor cardio plan during the summer months can avoid this by replacing the fluid they lose while working out. Water is a very vital part of any weight loss plan, anyway, so, keeping hydrated is important for both of those reasons. Make sure that you are drinking cool but not cold beverages around 50-60 degrees Fahrenheit.? This will not only help keep hydrated but help to maintain proper electrolyte balance. Remember to drink at least fifteen to twenty ounces of water about two hours before your work out, and then about ten minutes prior to beginning, drink another six to ten ounces. If your work out lasts a while, be sure to drink about six to ten ounces every ten or fifteen minutes until your work out is over.

Heat cramps, heat exhaustion, and heat stroke are all major concerns of those engaging in work outs during the summer months. Heat cramps are the least serious, mainly caused by fluid and electrolyte loss. These are sharp pains in the muscles that don?t diminish with time. Once you have heat cramps, it?s important to stop what you are doing and begin fluid replacement, cool down and get out of the sun. Heat exhaustion shows up as a rise in body temperature, followed by vomiting or nausea, dizziness and a headache. If you do not hydrate yourself, heat exhaustion can get worse, where a lack of coordination, cramps, and heavier sweating may be seen. Untreated heat exhaustion can lead to heat stroke, which is a life threatening condition which will require immediate medical attention. Tiredness, weakness, strange behavior, disorientation and confusion are the initial symptoms, which may be followed by unconsciousness. Heatstroke is where the system that monitors the body?s temperature fails, sweating will stop and the skin may be warm and dry.? Coma, seizures and death can occur if this is left untreated.

Be sure that in your weight loss plans if you are working out during the day, or out of doors, you are very careful to maintain proper hydration and avoid overheating yourself. This will enable you to avoid these complications.

Can't Lose Weight?

Posted on February 7, 2011November 11, 2024 by floridav

Everyone wants to look and feel their very best. We have discovered that there are a number of reasons that many people find that their diet programs fail. Examining a few of these reasons can help you to better understand that you are not alone. Whether you are seeking out a new diet and work out plan, or if perhaps you are looking into Orlando medical weight loss, one or more of these reasons may have been a roadblock for you.

The plateau. Everyone?s been there before. You start a great new diet and work out plan and you see results, then suddenly, you stop, or worse, you begin to gain weight again. This can happen for a variety of reasons- but predominantly this is due to exercise. This isn?t a bad thing- either there isn?t enough physical activity going into the plan, or the physical activity begins to build muscle. So, while you may not be losing weight, you might be gaining muscle mass, which is actually beneficial to your goals. If you aren?t as physically active as you should be, have a look at this if you hit a plateau and consider adding a bit more activity to your daily routine.
Deprivation. Often, when someone is on a very structured diet plan they get to a point where they feel deprived. This is something that can be effectively combatted through finding the exact diet plan that suits your lifestyle and you needs. At our Orlando medical weight loss facility, we understand that different people have very different likes and dislikes, and we strive to structure diet plans accordingly.
Losing the weight but not keeping it off- or yo yo dieting. In many diet plans, the calories are cut too severely. This makes for a great short term weight loss, sure, however, if this is not a lifelong commitment to keeping healthy, you find that yo yo dieting begins to become an unhealthy habit. Making sure that you realize that weight loss is a lifelong commitment to continuing a healthy lifestyle once the weight is off- is vital to keeping it off.
Getting discouraged. If you don?t have the support you need, or perhaps you just gave in when temptation came calling- this is a big stumble for many when it doesn?t have to be. The occasional slip up will happen in any diet, and understanding that and having a great support and foundation for your goals can help this.
Isolation.? With so many social settings involving or even being set around food- it can feel pretty hard to make it through without some practical dieting strategies. Fortunately, many restaurants now offer lower calorie or diet specific foods in special menu sections. Also, never be afraid to ask for the lower calorie version of many of your favorite foods. Often, this means asking for roasted or baked, instead of fried.
Competition and unrealistic goals. Working with some diet plans you may feel discouraged because the advertisements you have seen show those dropping vast amounts of weight in very little time- well, there?s a reason that the disclaimer says ?results not typical?. Everyone is different and every body type is going to take it?s own time to lose the weight. Be sure you are understanding of your own body?s needs and allow yourself to go at your own pace with someone who is educated and understands that as well.

Lose Weight Without Working Out?

Posted on January 31, 2011November 11, 2024 by floridav

weight loss workout At some point in everyone?s lives, they may have wanted to lose weight- if you happen to be at that point right now, you have either decided that you have one of two options: eat better, or be more active. For those of you who have decided to be more active, the world of working out can be an intimidating one- so many different types of work outs out there, what do you choose? Some may want to take classes, others decide to walk, run, or even do yoga. There is really no wrong answer when it comes to exercise, however, depending on what you want to do- you may want to target specific areas to lose body fat. Many Orlando medical weight loss specialists encourage all over training, including weight training.

One of the greatest ways to impact body fat is through weight training. This doesn?t have to be as frightening as it looks and you don?t have to form a big, beefy physique. Because everyone is built differently, everyone will respond differently to beginning a weight training regimen. This custom body sculpting can be used to help you to sculpt just the body you want, as well. Lifting weights not only enables you to lose fat, but it also burns a great deal of calories. For instance, your metabolism stays up for about forty eight hours after each weight lifting session. For every pound of lean muscle you have, your body burns about fifty more calories a day, because muscle takes more energy to maintain than fat. With weight lifting, you also begin to see the results much more quickly. Losing motivation is one of the biggest causes of work out-burn out, and if you want to keep on a plan, it has to show results. If you?re changing up your work outs, throwing in a little weight training here and there, and mixing that in with your aerobic work outs you will find that this packs a powerful double punch towards your weight loss goals.

Experience or lack thereof is never an issue. With weight training, you simply have to begin. There is a wealth of information out there, online and off for this, and you don?t even need to find a personal trainer, if you?d like to get started. Simply read around and find the right fit for you and get started. It?s just that easy. Bringing weight training into a total body work out is definitely a great way to ensure that you are spot toning those hard to lose areas such as the thighs, butt, belly and more.

The best work outs for new weight trainers seeking to burn body fat, fast are:

?dumbbell squats

?Bench presses

?split squats

?single arm or clean presses

?curl to press

These are just a few examples of the ways that many people, just like yourself, are already losing weight and burning fat using weight lifting techniques. Just a couple of reps of 10-15 each and before long, you, too can begin seeing remarkable results.

Speed Up Metabolism For Weight Loss

Posted on June 23, 2010November 11, 2024 by floridav

Metabolism plays a big role in any weight loss plan. One way to speed up your metabolism is to make exercises a daily part of your life. Being able to engage in interval training or resistance training is a great way to give your metabolism a boost. This will have you looking and feeling great and really help you to burn many more calories than simply dieting alone. You can also include certain foods in your diet that can also aid in your weight loss goals by helping your metabolism to work much more fast and efficiently.

Foods like broccoli, celery, asparagus, lettuce, cauliflower and zucchini are great examples of metabolism boosting foods, and they are considered negative calorie foods because they require more energy to burn than the calories they contain. Some other wonderful foods for metabolism health are berries. Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries and the like are powerfully loaded with antioxidants and have been shown to be just as heart healthy and weight loss friendly as they are tasty. Also, including lean proteins in your diet can be a big help. Foods such as fish, chicken and types of pork are a great way to eat better, and the best way to know which foods may help your metabolism is pretty simple- these foods are usually low fat, high protein or fiber. They also typically help to make your blood sugar stable and stave off those hunger pangs.

Antioxidant packed green tea is another great natural metabolism booster. As a thermogenic, it is effective in weight loss plans due to its benefit in enabling you to burn body fat. It does contain caffeine in most cases, but there are alternatives that do not have nearly as much if this is a concern. Also, you can find a number of juices and other drinks now on the market that are antioxidant fortified that really can be a better alternative to soda, coffee and other drinks that may contain far too many calories and not nearly enough nutrients, so, this is something to pay attention to as well when you’re shopping for things to stock your drink section with.

There are other spices that can also help. ?Using ceyenne pepper, cinnamon, cumin, mint, ginger and turmeric are great for not only getting the metabolism really moving but also, they help to curb snacking and craving. Generally speaking, spicier foods are powerful weight loss foods as they typically contain less calories. Another cooking tip you may consider is to use coconut oil- studies have proven that it not only curbs appetite but it stabilizes blood sugar and slows digestion.

Including a few new foods into your diet is a great way to get your metabolism back to a healthy clip and help you to lose weight in a healthy way. There are a number of small changes you can make to the way that you buy groceries even that will enable you to eat better and enjoy yourself more while still working on a healthy weight loss plan.

How Not To Lose Weight

Posted on June 19, 2010November 11, 2024 by floridav

You’ve probably heard the old saying about being your own worst enemy, and this often holds true for weight loss programs. There are a number of things to avoid when you’re either thinking about or even as you go about your own goals- and, sometimes, we don’t even see these things we do that self defeat. Below are a list of the most common things that people do that hinder even the best of weight loss programs.

The big promises didn’t pan out for me. If you’ll have a look at the bottom of the screen in most of those commercials- it reads, “Results not typical”. There’s a reason for that. Chances are good, if you are expecting to drop a large amount of weight in a very short amount of time- it’s either untrue, or it’s not being done in a healthy way. Either way, this is a common set up for failure. Anticipating vast results quickly is usually a sure fire way to be disappointed in a weight loss plan.

Slipped up, gave up. Just because you have a donut during the first week of your diet, does not mean the whole thing is derailed. As a matter of fact, feeling deprived is another one of the big problems with most diet plans. If you do break your diet- don’t worry about it so much. You’re not being graded, and you’re not going to instantly be unable to lose weight because of one or two slips. Instead of getting frustrated and giving up, consider perhaps allowing yourself a little time to adjust to the lifestyle changes. All too often, people just do not realize that weight loss is a big, overall lifestyle change- and as such, you should allow yourself some time to adjust, but don’t give up.

Stopped losing at a certain weight- or “plateaued”. This is actually very common in weight loss plans, especially in those that incorporate physical activity. As the body begins to convert fat to muscle mass, you may find that you stay the same weight or even gain. This is not cause for alarm- it is a good sign. Healthy muscle mass weighs more than fat.

Lost weight, but could not keep it off, or yo-yo dieting. If you find yourself in a pattern of behavior that leads to extreme weight loss, followed by weight gain and back- you may have a bigger problem. Yo yo dieting is extremely hard on the body and as great as you may feel about the weight loss, the emotional roller coaster yo-yo dieting can get you on isn’t good for you, either. Consider instead finding one healthy, balanced diet coupled with a physical routine that works for you and stick to it, as opposed to trying several.

These are just a few of the more common mistakes and pitfalls in dieting. Understanding first and foremost that this is usually a major lifestyle change can help. With any change, you’re bound to have a period of time adjusting.

Weight Loss Plans That Work

Posted on June 17, 2010November 11, 2024 by floridav

Getting ready to engage in a weight loss plan is almost as important as the plan itself. You want to be sure that you encourage a healthy eating pattern and that you are also bringing a regular exercise program into the mix as well.

Planning for weight loss will include working on situations and triggers in advance. Being able to achieve your goals includes identifying things that you feel will help you and support your plans and goals. If your goal is to avoid a certain amount of weight gain, being able to monitor your eating will be important and has shown great results.

You have to figure out and be able to implement patterns of behavior that promote an overall more healthy lifestyle. You’ll need to choose lower calorie foods, make sure you are working out or at least upping your physical activity a bit and these things don’t just happen, you have to plan for them.

First, consider the food choices that you make. You can easily identify existing patterns in your own eating and be better able to work out a strategy that will include a low fat, low energy density diet. You will also be better able to work on things like portion control and an much stronger way of looking at your own habits and how they impact your health.

Setting some goals that are easier to achieve first is usually a pretty good step for most. If you first set more attainable goals, you’re less likely to become frustrated and give up. Research has proven that when you get a little help, such as you’ll find with a weight loss coach or even your doctor, you are better able to stick with the weight loss plan you create. Personalization is key, because the eating patterns that you have usually relate to more personal aspects of your life such as stress response or the use of comfort foods.

In addition to diet, increased physical activity is pivotal to any weight loss plan. In order to have a successful program it is important to note that not everyone’s level of physical activity needs will be the same. Have a look at the things you enjoy doing and see what you can do to make them a little more physically intensive- if you live close to stores and such you usually shop at, consider walking to them rather than driving, for instance. Consider a walk in the park, as opposed to perhaps an afternoon movie. Increasing physical activity does not have to mean attending daily aerobics classes, it just means include a bit more activity in your daily routine. There are a number of ways to promote a much more healthy weight loss program and integrate increased physical activity without having to completely overhaul your life. Being able to make even small changes such as these can make a world of difference when it comes to your own personalized weight loss plans and goals.

Short but intense Workouts and the benefits

Posted on June 1, 2010October 31, 2011 by floridav

Short, Intense Weight Loss Workouts Short intense work outs are beneficial in many ways. These do not take much time and also provide fantastic results. We are going to go through the benefits of short but intense workouts. This should prove to be a nice, long winded article but the benefits we speak about will definitely make up for the time!

Short intense work outs save a lot of time for those that are busy or simply want to do other things with their free time. Not only that but it doesn’t over exhaust the exerciser so you have time and energy for everything else in life. Who doesn’t need more time for family and life? This allows for that.

Financially short intense work outs are beneficial, too. You don’t need to make any investments or spend an absurd amount of money on gym memberships. Take the money and use it elsewhere instead of paying insane amounts of money. You are at the point where you can handle it on your own anyway, trust us!

Also during these changing times, many of us just don’t have the attention spans to spend exercising. It would bore you to death! So why not have a burst of intense exercise and change it up a bit every day to keep it interesting? You could even use practicing for whatever sport or even playing sports as a source of exercise so that you don’t become bored and it is simply fun.

Another reason for this is that it is easy to do short exercises than spending a long time doing intense work outs. It is physically exhausting and painful, who wants all that? If you are exercising on a budget do things that don’t really require much equipment and that you can do at the park or in the house. Throw balls against a wall and catch them, play some quick games with friends like wall ball, or just go for a nice quick run.
If you start performing short intense work outs then you will be able to promote longevity. This means that you will be able to generate force and keep this ability over time if you continue to do this kind of exercise daily. This is important if you want to live a long, energized life.
You will be able to master whatever sport you are interested in by being able to control your exercising. If you do these in short intense bursts, it becomes beneficial as you gain more control. It is almost like you are running and going nowhere all at the same time when you are just doing slow and long exercises like running on a treadmill or something else of the same variety. Is this how you want to live your life? Not getting anywhere and still not being in the shape that you would prefer to be in? Well, if you do short intense exercises every day you will be able to control your life and your health better.
