I recently had a conversation with a woman who'd just completed her first four weeks of a workout program. She was bouncing off the walls with a newfound energy level, a sense of euphoria, and was so confident her body had changed significantly. After reviewing her numbers, however, her enthusiasm quickly turned into disappointment. "After 4 weeks of exercise, how could it possibly be that my body weight and measurements didn't go down?" Unfortunately, this scenario is all too common when fat loss is a goal. I talk to a lot of people who "exercise and eat healthy" yet are not achieving the results they desire. As a result, some give up in frustration while others justify that, in spite of persistent lack of noticeable physical change, at least they are healthier. I agree! Movement is much better than stagnation and provides plenty of health, mental and emotional benefit. But if someone is investing their time (not to mention their money) into a fitness routine, why not get ALL of the desired results in return? Today’s episode takes a look at six common mistakes people make when attempting to find the balance between eating right and exercising. After talking with our friend, she admitted to making several of these mistakes. I don't want you to be in the same boat in your fitness program! With an understanding and elimination of these mistakes, you'll avoid the frustration of this lady and find yourself moving more rapidly toward achieving your fitness and weight loss goals.
