How To Multiply Your Results By Exercising Right

January 8, 2008

So did I totally step in it? You’d think so from the emails I’ve been getting this week.

It seems people are pretty evenly divided – half are totally ticked off at me for even suggesting they cut grains and sugar from their diets as this is so impossible it’s bound to be unhealthy.

Never mind the fact that the recommendation came from a Doctor – in fact, I’ve heard the same recommendations from several of them. It’s so hard that some folks just don’t want to try.

Well I don’t know about you, but my Mama always told me that if something isn’t hard it probably isn’t worth doing.

And fortunately, the other half of the people who’ve emailed seem to agree. Some are raving about how much better they’re starting to feel, and a few have even already lost a pound or so!

Hopefully, you’ve been implementing the action plans we’ve given so far. After all, they’re sound advice and they won’t cost you a cent to do. But they sure bring the results!

So far, we’ve talked about the foods you eat (or shouldn’t eat). And that’s only natural as they have the biggest impact on your weight and overall health.

But there is the other side of the coin to consider. The other half of the weight loss equation – and it can really turbocharge the results you’ll see.

Of course, that “other side of the coin” is exercise. (Go ahead – get it out of the way: Groooooaaannn…)

With that out of our systems, we might as well face the fact that if we’re really going to be successful this time, we’ve got to (as Dr. Scott says) “move our buns around.”

There’s no getting around it: Exercise is crucial to a successful weight loss effort.

So the only real question is: What kind of exercise should we do, and how hard and often should we do it?

If we are focusing on weight loss, then the answer to this question is Sustained Exercise. We need to get our heart rates up and keep them there for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

What constitutes Sustained Exercise? Any exercise where your heart rate is up at a target range for an extended period. This includes exercise such as running or jogging, jumping rope, cross-country skiing, walking (once again in target heart range), running in place, bicycling, rowing, stair climbing and certain aerobics and dancing.

Stop-and-go exercises simply do not count. Stop-and-go exercises include tennis, downhill skiing, football, racquetball or handball, weight lifting, sprinting, golf and many more. Many people will say that they get enough exercise doing house work, or chasing the kids around the house, or that they work in something like construction that is physically demanding. Even though these get your heart rate up, they are more like the stop and go exercises and have little benefit for weight loss.

Recent studies have shown that New Yorkers are some of the healthiest people in the
United States. Think about that, people living in one of the most crowded cities in the US living around noise, pollution, and all sorts of tempting street carts full of fatty foods are going to live longer than most people in the United States.

What makes New Yorkers so healthy is that they walk everywhere AND they walk fast.

So Today’s action plan is to get up and exercise for 20 – 30 minutes per day.

Now, even though we’re all overweight, some of us are starting out in better shape than others. So maybe your exercise plan will include walking, running – or perhaps you’ll have to sit in a chair and lift your arms and legs. The point is to do something.

And again, not everyone will be able to move for 20 minutes right away. If that’s the case, don’t push yourself too hard – it’s dangerous, and it’s a recipe for failure. Do the best you can and try to add a little more every day.

We’ll be talking more about exercise and how to get started in our upcoming webinar, so I hope you’ll join us –
