Why is an active lifestyle training plan essential to maintaining and succeeding in weight loss?
Success in life isn’t just about having a good professional career or financial stability. It’s also about being successful mentally, behaviorally and physically.
To succeed, you need to keep your mind stimulated, because challenging bad habits is no easy task. Indeed, maintaining a stable and healthy physical base requires willpower. Dare to change!
But how do you get there?
By following a simple, structured training plan.
Today, I’d like to share with you my 6-step plan for making this lifestyle change a success. In any case, it’s a good start that may inspire you to draw up your own training plan later on.
According to the creators of NLP, successful people owe their success to goals set via the WFO.
These successful people consider “before they start” all the conditions of the goal and the results to be achieved. Unsuccessful people don’t consider anything, they just start.
The thought structure of a successful person is known as the Well Formed Outcome.
It’s hard to achieve your goal if you don’t know what it is in the first place. The first step is to define the precise objective of your training plan.
I invite you to spend a few minutes on the Internet to explore the various WFOs.
Choose a simple WFO to follow. This is the first step in your training plan implementation journey.
You can use this outcome design process to clarify your own wishes. That way, they’ll be more achievable and action-oriented.
In other words, choose a reasonable, achievable training plan that matches your abilities.
How about taking just a few minutes to plan your training schedule?
In front of your TV, relaxed, take out a pencil and draw up a small calendar. Then try to choose two or three days of exercise for the coming week.
Don’t have a pencil or a sheet of paper? That’s okay, you can use your smartphone and one of the many note-taking apps.
This calendar will be a great accountability and motivation tool.
The idea is simple.
Select times in the coming week when you’ll be free. Try to choose days that will easily fit in with your daily schedule and tasks. Then plan the exercise times in your training plan.
Recording these time slots in your calendar will boost your motivation. It will also make it easier to implement a good weekly training plan.
You should clearly mention what you need to do and set a day and time to do it.
There are a huge number of exercise programs out there, but my advice is: Don’t get overwhelmed.
You need to start exploring the different exercises on your own.
Start by learning about basic routine exercises. Search the net using search terms like “beginner workout”.
Tailor your search results to your level of exercise experience and physical ability. And remember, your workout plan should not exceed one hour at most.
In a word, try to choose exercises that you could keep doing. Don’t challenge yourself by looking for exercises that are complex or require a high level of physical fitness.
Preparing a training drink is a generally overlooked prescription.
Exercise is a physiological stress factor. To modulate this stress and regulate blood sugar levels during exercise, you should consider preparing a ‘Special Training’ cocktail.
How can you do this?
By introducing a drink containing mainly carbohydrates and proteins into your training plan.
According to the experts, when you consume carbohydrates with protein, you’ll be able to save muscle glycogen.
This will set your body up for faster recovery after a workout.
Bringing your personal belongings with you will give you a feeling of being at home. You’ll feel more familiar with the place you’re in.
For example, do you like to listen to your favorite music while you work out?
If so, take your portable music device with you. Music provides intensity, motivation and concentration.
Also consider buying a mini notepad where you can write down your personal training plan and the exercises you’ve set for yourself.
Don’t forget that you can change these exercises at any time as you progress.
As a general rule, it’s advisable to take a sixty-second rest break between exercises.
So consider having a stopwatch handy. And don’t forget your towel, of course!
Well done, you’ve stuck to your training plan. You’ve completed all your workouts and drunk your training cocktail, but now you need to recharge your batteries.
A balanced meal will fuel your cells, your muscles and also your brain.
I advise you to remember these three essential elements when choosing your meal: carbohydrates, protein and fat.
Try to put all three elements on your plate after training, focusing more on carbohydrate and protein intake.
If you want to recover faster, reduce cravings and boost your metabolism, you need to develop this routine as part of your training plan.
If your desire is to make small but powerful changes to your lifestyle in order to boost your health and well-being, I strongly advise you to adopt a clear, easy-to-implement training plan.
Imagine this process as follows: a written training plan, precise schedules, your personal equipment, your training cocktail and your post-workout meal.
Imagine finalizing this program and seeing it through to the end. Imagine how you’ll feel when you’ve completed your workout without giving up!
I can already see the smile on your face. So, what are you waiting for?
