One of the biggest culprits of weight loss failure is setting unrealistic goals. Often times a lofty standard is set from the get-go, not allowing the resolver to gradually adapt to a workout routine. The result is a starved, over-worked body and a burnt out ex-gym rat. The solution? Start small!
If you’ve never set foot in a gym before, utilize the common free training that comes with a new membership and soak up the trainer’s knowledge! Start with 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise per day, 3 times per week on a treadmill or elliptical to get your blood pumping and your body used to the movement. Exercising with gradual increase and moderation is the key to success!
