Dieting and Exercising – Results all the time!

Dieting and Exercising – Results all the time!
To be successful in keeping to an exercise program, you going to have to
define results. Results for most mean weight on a scale, a dress size, the
number of pounds on a bench press, and your waist size. I challenge you to
think in abstracts. Results, all the time? Yes! It just may not come in the
form you are looking for on the surface. You can break the type of results
into three categories: emotional, internal and external.
EMOTIONAL
I believe more important than waistline measurements, personal bench
press records or reading whatever the scale says, is what exercise does for
you emotionally. For me, it was self-confidence and self- esteem. I will do
this for life because I do not want to go back to the person I once was. For
you, it may be a feeling of being productive. Or because you are doing
something for you and no one else.
INTERNAL
Internal results come in the form of vital signs, such as lower blood
pressure, and a decrease in body fats, cholesterols and triglycerides. Of
course, these are important, but do not look just at the typical attributes.
EXTERNAL
These are results you are accustomed to achieving. It is something we can
see or touch. Pants are fitting loser, arms are looking toned, and numbers
on the scales are going down. At times it is a lot easier to get motivated
by those things we can see, rather than all that is going on inside.
Personally, I have seen more people stick with a program if they focus on
the emotional and internal results, more than the external. The outside
results may motivate you in the beginning, but it is the INSIDE OUT approach
that keeps you going.
