Slimming Down - Fast!

This is the time of year where traditionally you look forward to the coming year and imagine a better version for yourself.

There is nothing wrong with this per se, but as I see it there really is only one thing you should commit to this year and that is “Staying Healthy” and the easiest way to do that is by Slimming Down – losing weight 

Your health underpins everything you do. Without it, all is lost. There are plenty of sick wealthy people wishing that their money could buy them health. For the majority of you it should be your number one priority. You may not have thought much about it but your hopes, your dreams and your aspirations really are tied solidly to your health.

Slimming Down - Getting Started: Assuming you are sedentary, (for most people the only exercise they do is breathing) what do you need to do to get started? Just do a bit more than you are doing now. For example, if you live in town, walk everywhere (whenever you can).

Do more than you do now. Set aside the time and walk any distance that is less than 1 mile or so. That’s about 30 minutes there and back –It is, in the scheme of things, no time at all, but can make a big difference to your health.

Slimming Down – Teenager: If you are a teenager, leave the computer games, FaceBook et al, indoors and play some sport instead somewhere other than inside your home. Why not try dancing – salsa or zumba or some other sport like tennis, table-tennis or football? However, you need to commit to it – by that I mean join a club and play in one of the local leagues so that you have to commit. 

50’s Slimming Down –If you are in your fifties, looking ahead, there is one
big piece of advice I’d make. “Make sure to work your joints to their extreme
limit, daily”. It is from this point onwards, (in your fifties) that in the next
20 years or so, your joints will begin to function less if you let them. They do
this primarily because we accept that “we’re getting on in age” and we work to avoid any pain in moving our joints. Don’t succumb to reducing your joint movement! That acceptance is the fast-track path to old age and to immobility. 

Do not readily accept any walking aid when prescribed unless it will actually prevent you from physically falling over. Don’t accept one of those devices used to pick things up from the floor – they save you from bending – and you do not want to stop bending - ever. Beware your doctor, who however well-meaning will probably try to persuade you, but try your hardest to resist. Remember that mobility equals independence.

Commit to remaining mobile - Probably the most important thing you should commit to doing this year is to reducing your body weight if indeed you are overweight. This is a big battle for everyone. For some, not today, but surely for most tomorrow.

Without weight control, your weight just grows and grows and with it come all sorts of ailments that affect your joints, ability to breathe and move. Commit now to reducing it. Sure, it requires a paradigm shift but it just requires that you get started. Consider getting yourself a personal trainer – someone that can understand your goals and continue to motivate you as you move forward.

Second to money management, weight management, especially as food is cheap, abundant and convenient, you need to grab this particular obesity bull by the horns and wrestle it to the ground this year.

One thing to note is that as you get older, being over-weight, your inclinations towards slimming down do reduce, and you tell yourself that you can’t do it or that it is too late. Beware of this.

So commit to getting fitter by slimming down now while you can.

Happy New Year

To your greater weight loss
