If you have made the difficult decision to lose weight - congratulations! For most, committing to their own fitness is a difficult aspect. But despite self-motivation, many people find they do not know what exercises to use for rapid weight loss.
There are three key types of exercise: aerobic exercise, such as biking or running; flexibility exercises, like yoga and other forms of stretching; and strength training, like bodybuilding.
Aerobic and strength training will help you work off the most calories. Since weight loss is dependent on either burning more calories or consuming less, it's best to focus on these at first to make sure your self motivation lasts as you drop pounds.
Typically, 30 minutes of aerobic exercise three times a week is best. Build the time and frequency as you progress.
But many people whose self-motivation has helped them to begin an exercise for weight loss program ignore the importance of strength training. Aerobic exercise burns more calories at first, but weight lifting increases muscle mass, and muscle burns more calories than fat. A pound of muscle burns 35 calories a day to function at rest; a pound of fat burns only two calories for the same function.
The fitness consensus used to tell us that to "build" muscle, you should perform fewer reps (3-5) at higher weights, and to simply "tone," higher reps (12-15) at lower weights was the best way. But there's no such thing as "toning." Definition that happens with what is incorrectly called toning happens because you have lost the layer of fat covering muscle, making it more visible. The size of the muscle underneath depends on how vigorously you train.
You must "tear down" the muscle so it can rebuild itself afterward. In fact, you do not build muscle while lifting weights but you do in the days after when the muscle is "resting." The common guideline for strength training is beginning with three sets of 8-12 reps at a weight that leaves you almost incapable of executing the entire set. Then, rest for 30-60 seconds before attempting your next set.
Don't be disappointed if you're not able to complete all of the reps on every set. In fact, use that to gauge when to add weight. If you are doing each set without any muscle strain, you will want to add weight.
Self-motivation helped you to start, but many people have trouble maintaining the pace. It helps to know that the source of our motivations is a belief. Think about it: If you didn't believe the gnawing sensation in your stomach meant you were hungry, you would not feel motivated to eat.
Understanding what ideas motivate you is key to weight loss, because when you feel powerfully motivated, you will exercise regularly. NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is a form of self-hypnosis. And there are NLP methods that can build exercise motivation because, over time, desire to exercise for weight loss alone probably won't be enough to keep you working out. Hypnosis for exercise motivation therapy can help.
Your initial task is identifying the most important things in your life. We call these things your highly valued criteria. Highly valued criteria are typically intangibles: money would not be highly valued criteria, but the freedom, security or fun that money can provide would be.
Next, determine what you need to believe to feel highly motivated to exercise. It is important to remember that logic has nothing to do with belief. Things don’t have to be logical to believe them. You may realize you already have a belief that goes against this new idea. That is okay.
While understanding what motivates us is important, hypnosis exercise motivation therapy can put these ideas to work by ensuring self motivation endures. Hypnosis for motivation does this by changing the computer codes in your brain, so you accept ideas that motivate you.
Belief systems are based in our unconscious mind, which is like a computer. Computers do not have any capacity to reason. The input controls the output. The methods used in hypnosis for exercise motivation therapy can make you believe nearly anything, as long as you are willing to believe.
You begin by creating a picture in your mind's eye that illustrates something you already believe, like, "I love my children." Then you learn to calibrate the elements or 'Submodalities' of that mental belief picture.
Next, you make a mental picture that illustrates your motivational idea. Let's say your motivational idea is, "If I exercise, then I'll look great and my marriage will improve." Then you learn how to alter the Submodalities of this mental image to match with the Submodalities in your calibrated belief picture. On the other hand, if a belief is holding you back, the same technique can change that belief to doubt.
Hypnotherapy for motivation that uses NLP can provide you with something of an internal personal trainer. Using an exercise hypnosis motivation program ensures that the fervor you began with remains until reaching your objective, and then helps you maintain that objective.
