16 Fitness and Fat Loss Tips
It's a New Year, and you have a clean slate.
I don't know if you are one to make New Year's Resolutions or not, but either way you're probably thinking about how you can become fitter, healthier and happier than you are right now.
These 16 Fitness and Fat Loss Tips will get you on the right track for this New Year:
1. Visualize the accomplishment of your goals each and every day. Experience the taste of success and feel that sweet satisfaction.
2. Use smaller plates at home. This effortlessly reduces calorie intake and promotes weight loss.
3. Build accountability into your workouts so that you resist the temptation to take days off. The best way to ensure accountability is to work with a personal trainer either one-on-one or in a group training setting.
4. Believe in yourself. Know with conviction that you CAN accomplish your goals.
5. Drink water throughout your day. Do this by carrying a water bottle and opting for water rather than calorie-filled beverages. This simple action is extremely beneficial.
6. Maintain your metabolism by eating a healthy snack or meal every three hours. This food should be unprocessed, low in fat and high in fiber.
7. Don't be afraid to ask for help.
8. It's not about will-power, it's about want-power. You have to want it.
9. Do not eat processed foods. These items are high in empty calories and contain a plethora of chemicals that are harmful to your health.
10. Be wary of products that are labeled as ‘health food'. Always read the nutrition labels.
11. Destroy negative self-talk.
12. High fructose corn syrup should not be in your diet. It is high in calories and will quickly derail your weight loss efforts.
13. Challenge your body with each workout. Use different weights, do different exercises and break through plateaus.
14. Eat lots of whole plant foods. Vegetables, fruits and whole grains are filled with fiber and antioxidants, vital for your good health.
15. Do your cardiovascular exercise after weight training to ensure more fat burn. Your stored sugars will be depleted during the weight training then your body will rely on fat stores to get you through the cardio workout.
16. Set specific, measurable goals.
