Often times, I get to
talk to people with weight problems. They tell me about their struggle to lose
weight and that nothing seems to work for them. So for me to get a better
picture of the problem, I asked them a series of questions that’ll help me see
where the problem lies. The problem always boils down to two things, a dieting
program that’s not tailored for their taste and a lifestyle that excludes the
necessary exercise. It could be one of the two, or both.
A diet program can
easily be adjusted to suit one’s taste, to make it easier to follow. Exercise
on the other hand is much harder to incorporate to certain lifestyles.
“I don’t have the time.” This
is the most overused excuse for the people I’ve talked to. It’s a convenient
excuse. However, it’s because of this excuse that many are suffering from
overweight issues such as a fat belly. While it is true that we don’t have all
the time to do all the things we want, there’s absolutely something that can be
done to insert the needed exercise to whatever lifestyle we have. Here are some
steps to take to be able to add exercise to your life.
Evaluate and create a
list of all your daily activities and the time you spend in each one. As much
as possible, be accurate with the details. You might find an activity that is
not so important yet takes so much of your time.
Let’s be honest here.
How many hours do you spend each day sitting on the couch and watching TV? How
about the time spent in front of the computer? As you are reading now, how many
hours have you spent today browsing through the internet?
These are just a few of
the many things you regularly do that you need to cut some time from. All those
hours watching TV shows, following friends on social networking sites or
playing video games, cut some time off those things and allocate it to a
physical activity.
You could take a jog
for 30 minutes around your neighborhood. If you’re bored with jogging, there’s
biking and other activities.
If you want to lose weight
or lose the belly fat, start by getting off the couch.
