One of the common problems that we see and find is people find it hard to maintain their lost weight. The motivation to loss weight usually takes them to their aimed weight level but less than 10% people are able to maintain that over time. The primary reason being going on drastic diets/workouts which are not natural to be continued over longer periods of time. It needs extra levels of motivation to be continue there always.
However following a few simple steps, one can keep a check on his/her weight.
1. DAILY ACTIVITY: Increase your total daily activity level. Try to include physical activities in your daily schedule such as exercise and sports. Even if you cannot be regular on exercise, brisk walking is as good a workout to maintain weight.
2. CUTTING BACK ON SEDENTARY ACTIVITIES: Cut back on your activities which involve little physical movements such as watching TV, computer etc. One thing that often goes unnoticed with such activities is the untimely food and drinks that goes along with it.
3. WEIGHT TRAINING: Weight training is as important as your cardio even in the maintenance phase. Doing weights increases your metabolism in general and hence your weight can be kept in check. Try to keep a track of what you eat and your workout routine. Maintain a record of your weight every week and see if your diet and workout is keeping you on the right track.
It's important to be motivated all the time and make use of whatever little time one has at his/her disposal for exercising. Maintaining a positive attitude is the key to your weight loss and maintenance.
