The Tougher Road to Weight-loss.. Your Training Schedule, and some changes in your Lifestyle..

Your Training Schedule:

  Repeat the daily exercises described in this weight-loss workout program every week for between one to three months for maximum results (with perhaps a rest on weekends)...

  If you add weight training for different muscle groups (for example, if you do curls for your biceps, extensions for your triceps, etc.) towards the end of the second month, you will not only lose excess weight, but will acquire a lean, toned, well-shaped physique as well.

Changes in your Lifestyle..

  Some of the advice below might appear harsh.. please bear with me. Remember, this is a rigorous routine designed to take the weight off as quickly as possible, and so some discipline is necessary..

On Food:

  Go to your refrigerator and pitch out everything considered 'tasty' - ice-cream, chocolates, pizza. Replace with functional foods, especially foods you don't particularly like - things you'll eat only when really hungry.

  Make sure that what you DO stock up on is nutritious, though. Split your usual large means into smaller, much lighter meals - this will raise your overall metabolism, increasing your 'fuel burn'.

  Make sure you're not taking in more than you did before!!

  DON'T eat more than you burn. You don't have to be on any starvation diet if you're doing the above weekly exercise program, because you're burning enough, but you don't have to eat too much either ...if this seems too harsh, allow yourself ONE treat on any one day in a week. And by a treat I mean an ice-cream perhaps, not a massive meal.

On Television:

  Cut TV to no more than a hour a day (if you watch more). It leads to an unhealthy lifestyle.

  Go for a walk in the park, feed the ducks, talk with your neighbors, chop firewood, take up art or dancing or whatever, just don't sit in front of the TV if you want to lose weight.

Other Advice:

  Increase the 'normal' exercise in your life. Up to five stories up, DON'T use an elevator - use the stairs. Then, if the place you're trying to reach is higher, use the elevator. You can use the elevator coming down. Remember, WHEREVER possible USE the STAIRS. There's no better way to burn fat than stair climbing.

  If you walk anywhere, do it at a very brisk pace, or even run. SEEK out opportunities to exercise.

  If you're an executive with a private cabin, start pacing when thinking of something, if you can. If you can't and are stuck at a desk.. every hour or two hours, walk down five flights of stairs and then up again.

  PUSH YOURSELF. To the limit and beyond. Do this program for three months and you WILL see results.

  "We are honest men, so we offer you no easy way out, no 'effortless', 'magic' routine. But we also offer you victory. Don't look at your weight-loss efforts as merely some exercises and dieting you have to do - rather look upon your efforts as a battle against the most difficult opponent of all - yourself!!"
