Many of us live relative sedentary lives. We are designed to
move, but our modern lifestyle permits us to be less active than
we should be. Our lifestyle is rather unusual when you consider
how we are meant to be. We wake up in the morning, move to the
breakfast table, then to the car, next to the office, followed
by a restaurant, then to the living room to watch television and
finally back to bed.

You should keep in mind that this is a relatively modern
phenomenon. Not too long ago, a man who worked on the farm did
the equivalent of 15 miles of jogging each and every day.

In today’s world, our daily routine keeps us regulated to our
homes, chairs and car seats. If we want physical activity, we
must create it for ourselves.

Obesity is caused by two things. The first is how and what we
eat. The second, and equally important, is the lack of physical
activity. Therefore, it is important that we create some sort of
activity program.

Keep in mind, that exercise alone is not sufficient. It is also
necessary to change your eating habits to lose weight and to
improve your health. Nevertheless, it is essential to
incorporate some sort of sustained activity program. The more
consistent you are in your daily exercise, the easier it is to
lose and maintain your weight. Here are some things to consider.

Get some quality sleep. Exercise and good quality sleep
complement each other. In order to function well you need good
sleep. To sleep well, you have to have enough physical activity.

Walking is probably the simplest exercise program of all. When
done properly, walking may be the only exercise that you
require. You should gradually build up to to 45 minutes to one
hour of brisk walking five times per week. Besides weight loss,
the walking has both physical and psychological benefits that
are more than worthwhile.

Of course, walking outdoors is preferable. When the weather is
bad; however, use a treadmill.

The plan is to develop a consistent approach to diet and
exercise. This should be, of course, lifestyle changes and not
merely some temporary bandaid. The objective of your program is
to lose weight, feel better and to improve your health.

This program that you develop requires both focus and
dedication. Determination is essential to obtain your desired
results. Many of us get impatient easily. What we are striving
for here is long term results. In the matter of losing weight,
as with many things in life, perseverance is omnipotent.

This is just the beginning though. If by the first week you are
able to stick to your program, you have a great chance to
further boost your weight loss and stay with the plan until you
achieve your desired result. Try as much as possible to be
unlike the people who give up easily just because they could not
see the result they want at the time they want. Patience is a
virtue. The same way it took your body time to gain all that
weight, think about it as the time your body will have to exert
just to get rid of it.

Stop procrastinating and seize the day. Take the time now to
develop both your diet and exercise programs. Implement them
immediately. Make adjustments as time goes on and you learn
more. Remind yourself that lost weight and improved health are
gifts to both you and your family.
