Have you recently let yourself get out of shape? Did it just happen
recently or has it been gradually happening over the past few months or
even years? Don't let it get you down. You're human like everyone else.
Most people have been overweight, out of shape or both at some point
in their lives. The key here is to not let it get the best of you. You have
to force yourself to get out and do something about it...fast. Here are a
few tips that should help you along.
#1. Stop eating anything processed. This pretty much eliminates
anything that comes in a box, bag or wrapper. Cavemen didn't eat at
McDonald's drive through, people in the old west didn't have pizza
delivered. The "Fat Lady" used to be a circus attraction, but now you
see her on practically every corner in every city. This really is sad and
it's also avoidable. Start eating fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and lean
meats. Avoid bad carbs like bread, pasta, ect. Even rice and potatoes
will get the best of you unless you drastically reduce your portions and
do NOT put butter, gravy, cheese sauce or anything else that will defeat
the purpose all over your food.
#2. Start doing light exercise. Begin by doing stretching exercises to
make yourself more flexible. Stretch thoroughly from head to toe and
begin walking short distances. Note: Make certain to check with your
doctor before beginning any type of exercise routine, especially if you
are significantly overweight. You can begin by simply walking around
the block once or twice. It may be uncomfortable at first, but that is to be
expected. Hey, you let yourself get out of whack. It's going to be
uncomfortable for awhile until you begin to strengthen your muscles
again and reduce the weight on your frame. It's not easy, but it can be
done.
#3. As you begin to get used to walking after a couple weeks, start
jogging short distances. The idea here is to eventually work yourself up
to sprinting short distances. Recent studies have shown again and
again that sprinting in "sets", sprinting up hills, running stairs, ect, are
much more effective for losing weight that running distances is. It's also
much easier on your joints in the long term. Some people, including
myself, suffer from shin splints and running distances can be very
painful, especially after you've lost the strength in that area of your body.
#4. Swimming is excellent exercise, as long as you treat it as such. I'm
not talking about dog paddling across the pool a couple times and then
being finished. I'm talking about "sprinting" in the water from one side
to the other, doing a few sets of swimming as fast as you can over and
back across the pool, doing laps and generally just getting a good, solid
workout. Sorry, but no "rubber duckie" allowed while working out.
The fact of the matter is that you've let yourself go for awhile and now
it's time to go do something about it. It won't be a major big deal as long
as you get back on track. Just get rid of the garbage from your diet, start
off slow and work your way back into a healthy life.
