Utilize everyday activities like walking the dog to increase your exercise training.

few, exercise training helps control weight, improve your attitude, and helps boost your body’s natural defenses against injury, disease, and even depression.  The experts are now telling us that just thirty minutes a day of moving will improve your health. While this may be manageable to some people, for others it may seem very difficult,  or even impossible to fit into their busy schedules.

If you are one of those people having trouble finding the time to exercise, try burning some extra calories throughout your daily activities. For example, park your car further from the grocery store to walk more, take the stairs in front of the elevator, or even ride your bike to work or school instead of driving. Go outside and clean the yard, mow the lawn, walk the dog a extra few blocks, or just play with your kids-all these activities burn extra calories.  Just bending and stretching to pick up leaves and trash will burn calories.

While we are all busy people, we need to try to find time to take care of our Our bodies are the vehicles that carry us through our ever important business meetings, conferences, interviews, lectures, or any other routine activities that encompass our days.

Ok, here’s the thing… I’ve been “really” pushing the envelope lately on my “anything goes” days. Both on the number of calories I’ve been eating, and the types of foods as well. (My exercise training, in spite of my injured ribs, has also been going phenomenally well.)

Here’s what I discovered.

1. If you do everything right leading up to the “anything goes” day, you literally have a license to eat anything, and I do mean “whatever you want” in any quantity you want, and nothing bad will happen in terms of gaining fat, or retracing whatever progress you’ve made to that point. In fact, I’ve discovered you will actually lose fat faster when you have these higher-calorie, higher carbohydrate days.

2. If you want the absolute best results then you should try and control your fat intake on these “anything goes” days. Choose foods that are high in carbohydrates (doesn’t matter the types of carbs – they could be simple or complex – doesn’t make a difference), i.e., bread, pasta, rice, cereals (think Sugar Frosted Corn Flakes – my favorite), low-fat ice creams, sorbets, low-fat frozen yogurts, etc. Eat as much of these foods as you like — no lie. My findings, as well as those from my clients, are proving this method is the nirvana for getting into your absolute best shape quickly, and easily.

3. If your exercise training is done a certain way the day after these high-carbohydrate days (high intensity interval exercise training on the morning after), and take certain supplements (branched chain amino acids in the right doses for your body weight) both prior to this exercise training session as well as twice per day over the next 3 days, your fat loss results are accelerated even more.

I woke up at 10:30 am today.

Pretty late huh? Well, I did go to bed at 3:30 am the night before…

Are you burning the candle so much you're not regularly doing your exercise training program?

I immediately went over to my mom’s to get her breakfast going (she is suffering from Alzheimer’s and doesn’t cook for herself anymore). I don’t know if you remember how her blood sugar used to be over 200 on a consistent basis just a short 3 weeks ago, going back years. Well, since I’ve been completely in control of her diet, for the past 2 weeks her blood sugar has been less than 120, and for the past 5 days less than 100 even. This morning it was 77. This is a normal blood sugar level for a person without type 2 diabetes. My next step is to wean her off the medication she’s taking to help lower her blood sugar. In fact, today was the first day I didn’t give it to her. We’ll see how she does tomorrow.

I’ll dedicate a blog post in the near future to the diet strategies I’m using to get her blood sugar so low. Believe it or not, it’s based on the diet I have in my Amazing Fat Burning Formula.

After her breakfast I took her to the beach (she lives a couple of blocks away from the ocean) to get some vitamin D. Have you read my post about vitamin D and the sun yet? If not, I’d recommend you do because there is some very important information there.

Don't forget to get some sun to help your exercise training program

By the time I got my mother back home it was past noon already. And by the time I got to the office it was 1:00 pm. Looks like today is going to be a long day as the afternoon will be dedicated to spending time with my son.

So let’s get into 7 ways that can help you stick to an exercise training program.

FIRST
Find an exercise program you enjoy. If you like the exercise you choose, chances are you’re going to want to stick with it.

Find an exercise training program you enjoy!

SECOND
Find something that fits your lifestyle. For example, something that doesn’t require you to go to the mountains to hike, or require special equipment that you don’t have or can’t afford.

THIRD
Make an appointment with yourself to exercise so there’s ALWAYS time that’s scheduled in. Without that reminder, it’s easy to run out of time or rationalize you don’t have enough time to exercise.

FOURTH
Psych yourself up. You have to recognize the benefits of exercise. By doing something you like to do and getting into the habit of doing it, you’ll start to quickly see and feel results. You’ll feel better, develop pride when you finish your workout, and maybe even reduce any stress you may have. After a short while you may notice you’ve gotten stronger or lost some weight. Use these improvements, really focusing on how they make you feel, to help reinforce your positive mental attitude for exercise. If you feel like you need further help, maybe because you might be self-sabotaging yourself. CLICK ON THIS LINK FOR MORE INFO.

FIFTH
Morning is a great time to exercise. It helps get your day started plus you get it done and out of the way. An added benefit is studies have shown that fat-burning is increased if cardio is performed in the mornings on an empty stomach.

SIXTH
Exercise at least three times a week. And try to incorporate activity that exercises your cardiovascular system as well strengthens your muscles. There are many cardiovascular machines available at most every gym. Or, take a quick jog or brisk walk outside (the more intense you do it the more fat you can burn, like the cardiovascular routine I highlight in my Amazing Fat Burning Formula that burns 350% more fat for the same time period than regular cardio).

There are also many recreational sports and exercise classes available that are valuable workouts for the cardiovascular system. Finally, you can incorporate a weight-training workout that exercises your muscles as well as your cardiovascular system at the same time. Here’s the key there: Keep the rest periods short and alternate between a lower body and an upper body exercise; moving from the largest body parts to the smallest as you progress through the workout. This is how my exercise training program is structured in my Amazing Fat Burning Formula and will give you the biggest bang for your buck.

To get the most bang for your exercise training session, move quickly between exercises

SEVENTH
Consistency is key.

Some people, when they get on a program, get fanatical for a few weeks then stop. The key to continued success and results is to develop a habit for exercising. At first don’t worry so much about the intensity of your sessions. It’s more important to have a moderate session and do it consistently over a long period of time.

Write down some goals on what you want to accomplish as well as the number of exercise sessions you want to perform every week. Then tell yourself from the beginning you won’t stop.

A good goal to shoot for is 100 exercise training sessions. Why? Because studies have shown that performing anything 100 continuous times leads to a lifelong habit.
