How the Right Fitness Plan Can Help You Maintain Long-Term Weight Loss
Obesity is a growing pandemic worldwide, causing chronic health conditions and self-esteem issues. If you're obese or overweight, losing the extra pounds prevents chronic health problems like diabetes and heart disease.
However, losing weight isn't easy; with the proper diet and exercise plan, you're on your way to success.
Our team at NuvidaRx Weight Loss - Tallahassee Clinic understands the importance of keeping your weight off. Dr. William Lantz Effinger is our weight loss specialist who offers fitness and meal plans to keep you on track during your weight loss journey.
What are fitness plans?
Fitness plans are customized exercise routines our team makes for you to help you achieve weight loss and keep it off. Fitness plans often include a meal plan and weekly support to help you reach your goals.
Our team personalizes your fitness plan to your ability level and overall health. We provide you with strength training exercises and cardiovascular activities to help with weight loss and prevent health issues like heart problems.
It's essential to start your fitness plan slowly, especially if you need to get used to working out regularly. We provide the tools to ease into your fitness plan for optimal results.
Regular physical activity plays a significant role in allowing you to keep off the weight long-term. However, you can only stop once you reach your goal. You must stick to your fitness plan throughout your weight loss journey.
Fitness and weight loss
Your diet plays a big part in weight loss, but you may not succeed by cutting calories. Exercise allows your body to burn more calories for energy, resulting in a caloric deficit when you also watch how many calories you consume.
The calorie deficit daily is what allows you to lose weight. Regular exercise and physical activity let you create a constant caloric deficit, resulting in slow and steady weight loss.
However, fitness alone isn't always successful either. You need to incorporate a healthy diet as well to achieve your goals. Our team provides personalized fitness and meal plans catering to your specific dietary needs.
A proper fitness plan and a healthy diet also help you prevent chronic diseases. Regular exercise is excellent for your heart, and increasing your muscle mass allows you to burn more calories throughout the day.
Keeping the weight off for good
Losing weight is a fantastic feat, but so is keeping it off for the long haul. For many people that lose weight, the struggle is real when it comes to maintaining the weight loss in the months and years afterward.
However, the team at NuvidaRx is here for you throughout every step of your weight loss journey. Whether you're looking to lose weight now or need a fitness plan to help you maintain, we provide you with all the necessary tools for success.
The proper fitness plan is one of the best ways to maintain your weight loss and may include any of the following:
Strength training
Lifting weights and building muscle is one of the critical factors in maintaining weight loss. When you build strength, you're burning fat. A bonus is that muscle also burns calories, so the more you have, the more calories you'll burn throughout the day.
Balance exercises
Yoga and other balance exercises are a great way to keep the weight off by practicing mindfulness. While yoga doesn't burn many calories, it allows you to keep your mind in check and eat healthier meals.
Flexibility training
Staying flexible is another way to help you keep the weight off for good. Staying flexible allows you to continue working out, even as you get older. The more relaxed you are, the more likely you are to prevent injuries and sustain weight loss.
Aerobics
Aerobic exercise burns many calories but is also great for your heart. Examples of aerobic exercise include biking, swimming, or brisk walking. You can also use a machine in a gym, like a stepper or a treadmill.
