KEEP AT IT!
Regular exercise doesn’t just aid weight loss, it reduces the chances of premature death by 34%, says Dr Norman Swan, author of So You Think You Know What’s Good For You?
There’s nothing more frustrating than putting in the effort at the gym or sweating your way through a home workout and not seeing the results that you’d like. If you exercise regularly, but the scales aren’t showing a loss, bad habits could be to blame.
The good news is that once you know what’s sabotaging your goals, there are simple solutions to sorting it.
Ready to reboot your regime? Ditch these common exercise mistakes and the weight loss will follow, fast!
EXERCISE MISTAKE #1
Snacking after exercise
Do you finish a workout, then reward yourself with a tasty treat? Many of us burn fewer than 300 calories during a session, and that hard work is easily cancelled out if you then treat yourself to a chocolate bar or a smoothie on the way home.
SORT IT Skip the calorific snacks and have a healthy meal once you’re home – ideally within two hours. After longer sessions or heavy strength training, eat as soon as you can to refuel muscles and restore energy. ‘But make it a small handful of nuts or a protein shake,’ says personal trainer Rebecca Fredericks*.
EXERCISE MISTAKE #2
Feeling bored
