Best Exercise for Weight Loss

What exercise is best for weight loss? Honestly, the best exercise is what ever you like to do. Yes it is true that some types of exercise burns more calories than others but if you try to force yourself to do something you don’t enjoy how many times are you really going to do it? At one point I really wanted to be a runner. It burns lots of calories and I just thought it sounded cool to say I went for a run. Guess what? I hated it. I kept trying to force myself to do it. I was trying one of those programs to work up to a full 30  minute run- walk a couple minutes then run for a minute and repeat. You are supposed to work up to walk and run in even amounts and begin to transition to all running. Nope, not happening for me.

How to Set Weight Loss Goals and Why a Number on the Scale Isn't a Good Goal Now that you know your big why and have turned it into your Super Power affirmations it is time to set some goals. Having a specific goal can mean the difference between success and failure. A well-planned weight loss goal keeps you focused and motivated. How do you set weight loss goals that will set you up for success? A good weight loss goal should follow the S.M.A.R.T. formula S = specific: a general goal to lose weight or exercise more is not specific enough to have any impact. A specific weight loss goal example is 30 pounds, an exercise goal could be to walk 5 days per week. M = measurable: eating healthy is not measurable but a goal to eat 3-5 servings of vegetables can easily be measured. A = attainable: a goal needs to be one that you have the time and resources to reach. If you work a very demanding job with lots of hours than a goal to go to the gym everyday for an...
