After reading an article written by a well known trainer emphasizing that everyone needs to stick to the same exercise routine for at least 8 weeks to achieve a specific result, I had the following reaction:
Really do not care about any other goal or result except that I keep moving safely.
More and more studies are supporting how exercise can boost the immune system to defend against cancer and heart disease as well as help alleviate depression, insomnia, and stress. However, the wrong kind of exercise can actually have an adverse effect.
Dread, boredom, and injuries are obstacles I have avoided successfully for the past 12 years since making regular exercise a daily part of my life. I have seen others lose interest or get injured trying to do what their mind and body do not want to do. Not getting the temporary, sometimes unrealistic result one is seeking can totally derail all exercise.
As far as permanent weightloss, diets do not work either.
Small permanent changes in one's lifestyle as far as food choices will help maintain a healthier body.
Health and Fitness are a lifetime marathon, not an 8 week sprint.
Bottomline, the best personal trainer is the voice inside of one's own head. Stop searching for the *magic bullet* and start listening.
