Ive noticed many people are reluctant to do exercise to help them lose weight - just wondering if its to do with them having not enough time or they are happy with the amount they are losing without exercise.
personally I have found that exercise is absolutely essential for my regime.
when i first started i tried to diet as well as exercise - i failed both of them. dieting i done for a week or so and then i couldn't take it, because if your friends are eating junk food, you need to do it. not only that i enjoy the taste of so much food, i cant not have it. not only that i also work in a food place, so i am surrounded by food non stop.
exercise at the beginning was hard, although i enjoy sports, it wasnt something i could do in a regular basis. also i didnt know exactly what exercise to do or how much i needed to do.
but in the last few months i decided i was going to give exercise a go again. and i started doing something called tabatta intervals (google it if you want to know more).
because it is such an intense exercise, i really struggled at first, found it very difficult. but i kept at it and noticed my fitness levels dramatically increase every time i done a session.
i do a little weight lifting as well to keep that metabolism going.
not only that i have not been dieting in any way and i have to say my fat levels either stay the same or decrease every week, which is nice.
because this exercise interval only lasts 4 minutes (excluding time taken to warm up and warm down), its very quick and requires very little time for being so effective. i last much longer, feel less tired after exercise, feel stronger overall, i have become so much faster and can continue this speed for a longer time. i used to feel sick after workouts when i first started interval training, but now i just catch my breath and no muscle pains or injuries.
and now i have to do my sessions otherwise i dont feel right. progress is now really fast i feel fitter every time i do it.
and it is possible to find the time. i am a busy person with uni and part time work, yet i find the same. i have to do it in order to look and feel good.
so from my experience i would greatly encourage cardio exercise for fat loss. it should give your weight loss regime a huge boost. and the benefits that your body will receive physically as well.
