Not too far back a member at the fitness center asked me my opinion about her joining a twelve week fitness contest.She was one of those people often found exercising, but not all the time. Her results reflected that. You can read about the importance of being consistent in a weight loss forum.

While not obese, she definitely had weight to lose.The look she had was peculiar: she seemed excited about the chance to win a prize.

To get started I measured her body composition at almost 30% fat.She was about average for being over 40.

She told me that she wanted to reduce to 19% and I agreed that it was a good goal.

Since average fat loss over a one week period is less that 1%, I told her that she’d need a good part of a year to reachh her goal.After training intensely for 12 weeks, she had impressive results: she exceeded her goal by 2%. She even did six pack ab exercises.

She was so happy and excited, it was wonderful to see. Suddenly, however, she stopped coming to the gym.

The woman wouldn’t answer the phone when I tried to contact her

Months later, she came back to the gym, but had gained most of her weight back after failing to win the contest.Her pattern of inconsistency resumed when she came back to the gym. Similar stories happen all the time. short term achievement followed by disappointment.

It is possible, however, to have progressively better results year after year. It just takes more than 12 weeks. Here are a few tips I have that might help.

1. Don’t define your program as beginning a diet: your better eating habits should be regarded as a permanent alteration of your lifestyle.

2. Get a plan ready to maintain your fitness once you’ve achieved your goals.

3. Make only a couple changes at a time.You risk being unable to sustain rapid progress.
