When Exercise Is Not Enough

It may seem unusual, but often exercise is not always enough to prompt fat loss, even if you are eating correctly...


However, if you are working out and still putting on excess lbs, you may need to contemplate including the following techniques into your

fat loss program


1. Go to your doctors

There might be a medical reason why you are putting on excess lbs including hypothyroidism, stress, the menopause or certain prescription medications. Because of this attend your physician, get them to assess you and tell them your fat loss problems.

2. Check your heart and breathing

The simplest way to review this is by using the Borg Scale of Perceived Exertion, and ensuring you are running enough to guarantee results, but not so full on that you are causing yourself to gasp for air. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 sleeping and 10 running full pelt), you should be around a 6 or a 7.

3. Start a food diary

No matter how much you work out, if you are eating too many calories this can lead to weight gain. The problem many of us have is under guessing our calorie content. Even the littlest of drinks - crisp or a cappuccino - can add tonnes of calories to your daily content.
To discover if you are unintentionally letting calories slip under your mouth try weighing, measuring and keeping track of everything you eat and drink in a food diary. Then, at the end of each day, sit down and count how many calories you have had over the course of the day.
You will quickly be able to discover which snacks are making problems. However, for added support talk to a nutritionist who can help you to discover your strengths and your weaknesses.

4. Try a pedometer

Supposedly for every 2,000 steps you take per day, you can burn roughly 100 calories. To figure out how far you walk each day begin using a pedometer and keeping track of how many steps you take in a week. If for example you are already doing 10,000 steps, boost this by another 2,000 to get the results you crave.

5. Start strength training

Muscle is more active metabolically than fat, so by including strength training to your exercise plan 3 times per week, you can gradually enhance your lean tissue mass and speed up your metabolic rate.
For maximum results, aim to utilise free weights, resistance bands and exercise machines...

6. Quicken your pace

As with many things in life, it is simple to get into a rut with your exercise routine. Try pushing yourself further by including quick bouts of fast-paced training such as cycling. Attempt to cycle as fast as you can for 30 seconds (every 3 to 5 minutes) or including hills to your running program.

7. Stay focused

It is easy to get distracted by the numbers on your bathroom scales, especially if your daily routine is the same. Instead, try mixing up your exercise routine by doing a new activity, listening to fast-paced music and most importantly ensuring you focus on feeling positive and healthy.

8. Get plenty of sleep

Sleep is essential. Sleep infrequently and this can cause your body to start putting on fat. Equally, being tired all day can prompt you to eat more as a means of deal in, contributing to extra weight gain. To overcome this, attempt to nap for roughly 6-8 hours every day.
