There are really only 3 ways to lose weight.
1. Eat better.
2. Exercise and work out.
3. Increase non-exercise-related activity.
Number 3 is the simplest, number 1 is the most important but hardest, and number 2 gives you the body you want and desire.
We recommend Nutrition Coaching because knowing what to eat and doing it are two very different things and at our gym, everyone starts with Personal Training for increased safety, comfort, and accountability.
1. Eat better.
You can’t outwork a bad diet. Cliche but true.
Get our Free Nutrition E-Book “Eat”.
Tactic: Most diets focus on elimination and what not to eat. Do the opposite and focus on what you need to eat like protein and water.
2. Exercise and work out.
Cardio is great and necessary for a healthy heart but weight training helps build lean muscle, increases bone density, and is necessary for healthy joints, tendons, and ligaments.
Tactic: Something is better than nothing. Aim to get to the gym and lift weights at least 2x per week but other than that doing a quick bodyweight workout at home or on vacation will go a long way to improve your body composition.
3. Increase non-exercise-related activity.
We are built to move and play. 10,000 steps is a good goal to build up to if you’re not there already.
Check out our movement guide “Move” here.
Tactic: Take the stairs or phone calls while walking.
We help all of our clients at One Life improve each of these 3 strategies with nutrition coaching, personal training, and group classes.
Take Action!
Drink a glass of water when you wake up, have some protein at each meal, start with 2 gym sessions each week (not 5 or every day) if you’re not currently working out, go for a walk during lunch or your next phone call.
We give away the free tools and information above so you can get started and then hire a coach so we can help with consistency and faster progress.
Hope it helps!
