The best way to lose weight and fat faster is to set specific goals.
Most of us share a common goal to “lose weight”. We may even have a time period in mind, such as “I want to lose weight faster”. But what does that really mean? It´s just too ambiguous of a goal to help you achieve the results you want. If you know you want to lose a certain amount of weight before going shopping for a new bathing suit, getting married, or going on vacation, you still need break down what that actually translates to in your daily habits.
You might be tempted to start with your current eating habits. There´s merit in understanding that your evening ice cream habit or Saturday beer bash is sabotaging your weight loss efforts! Ultimately though, every successful weight loss program will boil down to burning more calories than you consume. What you eat is certainly important when you want to lose fat; how you burn it is more so.
Measuring your daily steps is a good place to start.
Like the disciplines of counting calories, carbohydrates, and fat grams, it´s important to count your steps to realize how much you are really moving in a day. You may be moving much less (or even much more!) than you realize. The point is, unless you measure your steps, you won´t have accurate knowledge of where you´re starting and what you need to do to accomplish your goal.
Step measurement can be accomplished a few ways; the most effective is to make the small investment into a quality pedometer. If you wear it all day you´ll quickly discover small ways that add up to large step counts. This is one of the most effective ways to transform from a sedentary person to an active one.
What to look for in a good pedometer:
• Step counter: 10,000 steps a day is the base recommendation to be considered an “active” person.
• Calorie counter: not every activity that feels strenuous is a great caloric burner! And plenty of foods contain more calories than they appear to. Counting how many you´re burning in a day helps you make good choices.
• Distance traveled: 10,000 steps translate to 5 miles! Think of how accomplished you´ll feel to habitually get 5 miles of activity in daily.
• Walk or run sensor: “not all steps are created equal”. A good pedometer will be able to count the difference.
• Chronograph: a timer on your pedometer or stepometer is a great way to challenge yourself to more intense intervals for fat burning and weight loss.
A good pedometer or stepometer is the best way to measure activity progress.
There´s an old saying that goes something like this: “To get where you´re going, you have to know where you´re from.” Getting a good baseline of your current caloric burn and activity level is the best way to devise a weight loss plan that helps you reach your goal faster.
