It’s no medical secret
that putting on weight beyond a certain limit can lead to serious health
issues, something, you don't want to see coming upon you. Exercising, is as
important a factor for losing weight, as much as keeping a check on your eating
habit and changing the torpid lifestyle.
Where Should You Start?
You have already
started, when you decided to read this article. The resolve to take up
exercising is the first baby step that'll prepare you mentally to move on to
the next stage — planning an exercise regimen. This in turn will go a long way
in helping you hold on the continuity of your workout schedule, even when you
have dropped a significant amount of weight.
Is Scheduling Exercise all That Important?
Scheduling workout or
breaking it into sessions is less straining on your body, keeps you motivated and
brings the mind and body in harmony, as against, starting off with high-spirits
unplanned and unprepared and eventually ending up with dampened spirits.
How to Plan Your Exercise Schedule?
Given the fact that you’re
a unique being with unique circumstances and requirements, as much as is true
for anyone else, it goes without saying that your workout schedule too should
be unique and make you say, “hey! It’s for me”.
Some important points
below will provide the kick-start needed to come up with your own schedule:
·
Workout & work life balance: It is rightly said, “Health is wealth”, but that
shouldn’t be a persuasive argument to extrapolate that exercise can have
relatively more importance over your work life? The point is, do not allow your
present reality, in this case, losing
weight with exercise become the cause of an imbalance or clash between your
exercise schedule and work life/family life.
·
Do cardios in the morning: Ideally, reserve cardio exercises for morning,
because as research point, your body breaks down significant amount of fat when
cardio is done on an empty stomach than after you have eaten.
·
Sneak in doses of exercise at workplace: Fitness trainers would love to give you this
piece of advice. From eye rolling exercise to taking to staircase for leg
exercise, all can be small but a great way of keeping you physically engaged
and physically fit and active throughout the day.
·
Take a break: Taking rest between workouts is as important as your regular training
workouts. Rest, allows your body to strengthen itself and recover from stress
caused by exercise; thereby preparing your body for the next training session.
When can exercise schedule for weight loss become
ineffective or even worse?
Keep the intensity of
your workout mediocre, initially — it’s highly recommended. Because, when you exert
more physically you lose considerable amount of calorie, and a natural response
your body makes is to demand more calorie to recover the lost ones, pushing you
to pig out on foods that might deteriorate your situation further; resulting in
your body really not moving through much of a shift, at least not as fast as
you would have liked it to.
Therefore, having a
proper exercise routine can play a crucial role in bringing down your weight
and keep your health in sound condition, provided, it has been carved out wisely
and executed.
