How to Lose Weight and Get Fit with a Wall Calendar!
December 31, 2011 weight loss No CommentsA calendar can be a great visual support tool when you are trying to lose weight and get into shape. It offers a quick reference and can be used with home video workouts, jogging, pushing weights, walking, or even with your home exercise bike. A calendar can help keep you going.
The calendar can give you a quick visual record of your progress and keep you on track. It can make you feel guilty when you miss your workout, and make you feel proud when you see it fill up with marked completions. The weight scale may be slow to report and can offer varied results throughout the day due to normal fluctuations in weight.
Make sure your workouts are set up in stages. You should already know that performing the same movements over and over again is not the most beneficial way to get results. Take that a step further and put up a calendar near your workout area, or if you go out to exercise, try placing it near where you might keep your gym bag or running shoes.
If you have a 60 day workout routine, mark it out as day 1 through day 60 on your calendar and place a small notation of what your workout for each day will be. For each completed workout in that routine, mark a big X on your calendar for that day.
When you break off your program into smaller routines and place it on the calendar as noted, you may find yourself glancing at the calendar and telling yourself that you only have 10 more days to go. Anyone can stick with it for 10 days right? On the other hand, seeing those big open spaces on the calendar because you skipped a workout day can get you down and push you to try even harder to keep it going.
Team Beachbody uses calendars in many of their more popular home DVD workout programs. With these programs you get a calendar that counts out a 60 day program or a 90 day program that is often broken down into 30 day segments, and you get instructions on which workout to complete for each day of the program.
As an Independent Team Beachbody Coach, I encourage you to hang in there with your program, whatever it may be, get healthy, and share your success to help motivate others to get healthy too!
