Many people are looking for weight loss now-a-days; some get it easily, some get it with very hard work and some don’t get it all. So what makes someone to get results faster is in everybody’s mind.
Weight loss is a highly customized thing for every person. Everyone has a different metabolism rate, and a different lifestyle, even people with similar lifestyle have different rate of weight loss as their metabolism rate differ. However there are some phenomenon that are common.
Some of the popular tools that can be used for weight loss are:
· Gym: cardio, stretch, weight training
· Aerobics
· Yoga and Pranayama
· Sports
· Other activities e.g. dance classes
Any of the above activities can induce weight loss if done smartly and with proper food. Using combination of some of above activities is generally more productive.
One of phenomenon I have observed in gym and running sessions is that people do these activities excessively and do not get results. Some complain that they have put on weight immediately after few weeks of not going to gym or run sessions.
Once body gets adapted to one type of exercise, weight loss rate may come down drastically. Once an exercise provides no more challenge, it’s time to change it or do variations in timing or speed, e.g. reduce timing but increase speed or difficulty level.
Important thing in all of above is proper healthy food; that is also sometimes called diet food. Diet food has got a very negative connotation as people do not eat and stay hungry to get a slim body. However, staying hungry is one of the most dangerous phenomenon; that can have very negative effect on health. Diet food means healthy food that doesn’t get stored in body as fat but provides all the necessary ingredients of a diet as protein, carbohydrate, fat, minerals and vitamins. There is nothing that needs to be completely avoided, quantity and frequency can be reduced or increased as per need. Key to healthy food is balance of all ingredients that comes with proper quantity and frequency.
Watching the progress also is very important, it may so happen that someone is doing lot of workout but there is no result, this may happen due to various reasons e.g. excessive one type of exercise or improper food. So if someone is facing such problem it is a good idea to look both exercise and food.
Last thing is about choosing the activity, generally great results are produced by activities that one loves to do, not because someone is doing to get weight loss. So if someone chooses activity that he/she really enjoy doing, results are bound to be better and faster.
