How You Can Visualize Yourself to Weight Loss Success

Image
How do you see yourself? Do you really believe you can lose weight and achieve your goals? Self-image defines what you think you can or cannot do. You always act according to the person you believe yourself to be. How you view yourself dictates all your actions, behaviors and abilities. It also sets boundaries and defines what you cannot do. To achieve a healthy body, you must change any limiting beliefs and replace with the vision of what you want in your life.

If you believe you will always carry extra weight than your body will agree with you and hang on to the fat.   If you see yourself as an overweight person then you will always gain back any weight you lose because that’s what your brain expects so it guides you to mak...

Exercise To Burn Fat

To lose weight and feel healthy we have to move more. You aren’t going to start out running marathons just slowly building exercise into your life.

Basic Lower Body Workout

Cardio is very important for your health and for weight loss but so is strength training. Remember muscle burns fat! So just adding a little bit of muscle tissue will help you burn extra calories and give your body form as you lose weight. If you don’t add a little muscle you will just be a skinnier version of the body you have now. Here is a very basic lower body workout to help get you toned up. Alternate lower and upper body workouts and separate days to give your muscles time to recover a day in between. Squats- Quadriceps (front muscle upper leg) Starting position:     Stand with your feet a little wider than your shoulders, toes pointed forward. Action:      Slowly lower your body bending slightly at your hips as if you are going to sit on the end of a chair. You can even use a chair for reference. Keep your weight on your heels and make sure your knees do not go in front of your toes. Straighten legs and come back to starting position. Repeat...
