Best To Watch Without The Volume OnThe main idea behind a weight loss program is to start the process of living a healthy lifestyle, where food is eaten in moderation, with the understanding that you need to fuel your body in addition to ticking your taste buds. It's also supposed to get you to understand just how important developing, or implementing, a movement program is. Without movement, getting rid of excess body fat is almost impossible; unless you decide to starve yourself that is - not a very good idea. Anytime you starve your body, you cause havoc within, what I call, your "Inner World." Organs begin breaking down, as well as muscle tissue; and you can potentially cause more harm then good.
Before we jump into an over-simplified weight loss program, I think I throw out the disclaimer my lawyer always presses me on - always check with your doctor before you take any, or all, of the advice here in this article; and I am not responsible for any negative results in the event you do decide to take me up on it. Ok, now that the courts are satisfied, let's begin:
First things first - Prepare yourself mentally before we begin. You must make a commitment before we get started that you are going to complete this program, if only for a week. If you can do, let's continue.
Manage Expectation - this is a simplified weight loss program, if you think this is going to get you the body of your dreams - think again. All this is, is a way to get you to move towards implementing a health lifestyle on an on-going basis
Dynamically Warm-Up - Before you jump down on the floor and attempt the two push ups you are going to
do, make it a habit of warming up your muscles, and get the blood flowing into those unused muscles. This does not mean you will static stretch - uh uh. Do that and you can injure yourself before you even get started. What you are going to do are gentle movements like swinging your arms and legs back and forth; or like skipping (yes, I wrote skipping) in order to get you ready for a workout. Only after a hard workout does it make sense to static stretch - this helps to avoid soreness.
Go Easy Early On - Everything you do in the early phase of your weight loss program should be done carefully. Your body, believe it or not, is fragile right now, especially if you haven't done anything for a very long time. Take your time, and go slow.

Day 2 - In addition to your walk, when you get back home, or even at the park - drop down and do 3 sets of push ups, however many you can do (which in the beginning won't be much). This helps to build the upper body strength, and it also mentally fakes you out that you are actually doing a hardcore workout - you're not, but it'll feel like you are.
Day 3 - After your walk, you focus on a lower body workout, like air squats. Same formula, 3 sets of how ever many you can gut out. Remember, to go home, and stretch down or else the soreness could you sideline you for a few days.
Day 4 - No walk, but instead you substitute with a stretching session or a "simple" Yoga workout. While stretching or during Yoga, focus on what you want your body to look like, and you want to focus on what makes you happy about your life today. I know, may sound weird, until you start doing it - you will feel great after your workout when you do this.
Day 5 - Back to your walk, and you incorporate both sets of upper and lower body exercises into today's session. This will get you to start having an idea of what a real workout feels like again.
Day 6 - Today you get to play. That's right, like a little kid - you get to go out and play. Only rule is keep it simple and low impact. Swimming is an awesome example, or you can go shoot hoops, or go to a batting cage. Anything that doesn't require you to play full out - yo are not ready for that, but if you keep this pace up - in time you will be.
Day 7 - Get one of your family members to go on a walk with you, and spend true quality time with them in this setting.
That's it, was that so hard? If you can do that, you'll be able to do more; and believe me, once that fat start rolling off - and it will - you will become addicted to this and continue doing it. Doesn't mean you'll be able to use this little program, but you'll be able to go out there and find others that are able to get you the result you're after.
