Get Fit With These 7 Tips

1. Make a goal and realize it will take time to get there.

When you make your goal don’t expect to lose all your weight in one week. Depending on how much you want to lose, it will take several weeks or even months to get fit.

​2. Weight loss and fitness are different for each person.

Each person needs their own personal workout regime based on what they can and can’t do.  Working with a personal trainer and setting a regime up is the best thing you can do. A personal trainer will not only help you start a workout regime but can also help you properly workout in order to prevent injury.

​3. Find a workout program and stick to it. 

Finding a workout program you enjoy that also works for you is difficult.  However, it’s even more difficult to stick to a program especially with so many programs out there. Sticking to a program is worth it and will prove to be very rewarding.

4. Start small then work up to harder workouts. 

It might seem like a good idea to start out with heavy workouts thinking you will get fit faster. This however is a bad idea as it has an incredibly high risk of injury if you haven’t been working out. You can also burn yourself out on the idea of working out due to not getting results as fast as you want.

​5. Don’t spend all day in the gym. 

Despite what you might think, spending more than two hours at the gym working out isn’t good for your body. It is better to have smaller, more frequent workout sessions instead of one long session where you wreck your body.  Long workouts will wear you out!

6. A good diet is just as important as a good workout.

Following a strict, healthy diet in addition to working out is the key to losing weight.  If you eat unhealthy junk food or fast food your workout won’t do much for you. A healthy diet will help you feel more energetic and even make you feel happier after you have stayed on it for a while.

​7. Hitting your weight loss goal isn’t the end all.

Once you hit your goal you can’t just stop working out and relax. You have to maintain at least a maintenance workout schedule. This is important even if you aren’t working out as often as you were when you were trying to lose weight. Maintaining a diet is also important.  You can’t just return to your old habits of eating fast food or junk food. However you can be slightly more lenient on both your eating and your workout once you’ve reached your target weight.

​You don’t have to be perfect. Just be consistent. And when you bring that consistency day in and day out, that’s where transformation happens. That’s how change occurs.  For more tips on getting fit, losing weight, or if you’re frustrated with the results you’ve been seeing in the gym and thinking about hiring one of our personal trainers, call us today (505) 261-1253.
