Hi Julie

Part 3 is here
Part 4 is here
Part 5 is here

Part 6 will cover HIIT training – the cardio version.

It will look at sprint training with cardio machines, hill sprints, etc…

Regarding cultivating your “want to” attitude, i would suggest you look at the physical things that you actually enjoy / tolerate doing.

I actually enjoy lifting weights. I am a naturally strong person , so I get a nice ego boost when I can lift more today then I did the day before.

For most people, lifting weights is a necessary evil at best. Most find it boring and pointless.

Because of that, I need to design workouts for my clients that engage their minds as well as their body.

We need to engage your mind in your exercise program.

I like your quotes around “diet” – that word is so loaded with connotations…

Hi,

I am curious when your segments on Path #3 will be coming out…

As you said, it is definitely the most difficult. I have recently embarked on the lifelong journey of getting healthy.

I have “dieted” so much in the past that I have pretty good practice on what to do in that area, and from your blogs, I am not too far off the mark.

With exercise, to me, it is a necessary evil to a necessary acheivement. I have never been avid with it, but now I have to, and have made up my mind to do it. I appreciate all your work in posting the proper methods to attain results.

I am so very curious to discover what you have to say about Path #3. I need to learn how to “Cultivate my ‘want to’”, so to speak. Any and all advice I can locate will help!

~Julie

that is very true. i put on a tremendous amount of weight last year, and basically the whole year was spent trying to rub it off- to no avail, of course. it was only this year that i realized that i had been neglecting the emotional aspect of my life, and only when i solved that did all the weight come peeling off me.

I can never understand why those grocery store checkout magazines scream at us to try the latest fantastic diet.. then show a picture of a plate full of mouth watering food…

The majority of people like “Angela” are eating more calories than they think. That’s why food diaries with calorie counts facilitate weight loss.

The mental aspect is, indeed, the most complicated and most overlooked. You have to have the right mindset to stick with the nutrition and exercise.
I look forward to your exercise plan.

Thanks
