How can I stay on an exercise program even if Im not seeing results right away? Heres what I answered: By results I assume you mean losing weight. But remember that you may be gaining muscle and losing fat. So, although the scale doesnt change much, your body composition does. And ultimately, thats what the game is all about... If you havent measured how much fat you have before you start your weight loss program, the scale can be really misleading. Sometimes, just seeing how your clothes fit on you may be a much more accurate method of watching your progress... Are you getting stronger and do you have more endurance every workout? If yes, then you are on track and you are already getting results. You cant improve what you cant measure. The mirror can be deceiving. Put things on paper. Note down your fat percentage and how much you weigh. Cold numbers dont lie. Your mind may be playing games with you - especially during a weight loss program. But you will do the smart thing and note things down (something that 95% of people never do - thats why they never lose any weight and they quit after a week). Try to measure your weight AND fat percentage, say once a week. Do it in the morning on an empty stomach. You may see that you have lost just a little fat and you have gained just a little muscle. But Rome wasnt built in a day. The way you climb a mountain is one step at a time. Theres a lot to be said about consistency and theres strength in numbers. Small improvements add up over time with TREMENDOUS results. Its what the Japanese call Kaizen... |
