12
week weight-loss programme
The
Weight-Loss Cycle
The weight loss and dieting world has evolved in to a multi-million
pound industry with so many diets, latest fads & gimmicks and weight loss
products and even patches!
No wonder the population is confused as to which route is the most effective
with long-term results.
‘Losing
weight can be very challenging and very worthwhile. All you need is the right
guidance and support - Health Performance in Middlesbrough offers that support!’
Burning
Calories!
A calorie is a unit of heat and therefore makes sense that,
in order to ‘burn’ calories, we need to put the body through some
calorie burning activities!
Cardiovascular Exercise
Cardiovascular exercise is a part of most programmes and
will include equipment such as bikes, steppers, cross-trainers, etc. It can
be any activity providing that it raises your heart rate to within certain zone
limits which are based upon your age. This form of activity is fantastic for
burning calories in the way of fuelling the activity.
Resistance Exercise
The advantage of adding resistance exercise to your weekly
routine is it increases your metabolic rate. This means that you will burn more
calories at rest which is a help in the weight-loss game. Our personal trainers
can guide the most appropriate solution for your long-term weight-loss plan,
contact us for assistance.
It
can be easy to be drawn in to the next fad diet because we all want result quickly!
But be careful as these diets do not provide long-term results.
Listed below are a few points to help you steer clear of fad diets/products:
1. Claim to help you lose more than two pounds per week
2. Be careful of testimonials/endorsements as these people are probably being
paid to advertise the plan
3. Limits your food choices
4. Base claims on before and after photos
5. Is very costly and requires special meals
We
offer a full range of fitness products to suit everyone at great prices!
Yoga
Mats & Blocks, Pilates Equipment, Stability Balls, Video’s & DVD’s.
Weight-Loss
Dilema
You are doing your best, you begin exercising, start to
eat healtheir options, reduce your food intake a little - but you still can’t
shift the weight! Does this sound familiar?
Achieveing the correct balance can be quite challenging but very rewarding when
you do get it right!
How
Do You Do It?
It revolves around looking at your current lifestyle and slowly adding/deleting
certain foods gradually, and becoming more active. Obviously this is a task
in itself and one that our weight-loss programme will succeed in. The single
key element here is if you choose to suddenly (and for some drastically) reduce
your food intake your body will believe it is being starved and will therefore
hold on to those few calories - and convert them to fat!

A
Little Bit of Science
The liver has many functions, but one of it’s main jobs is to convert
stored fat in to energy.
Another role of the liver is to pick up the slack of the kidneys which, you’ve
guessed it!, need plenty of water to function properly.
Poor
Metabolism of Fat
Your liver not only picks up this slack, but also needs to carry on with it’s
own workload and as a result, lowering it’s ability to metabolise fat
as efficiently. If you let this happen then you are increasing your chances
of storing fat.
The moral of this short story is - start drinking water!

As
Tempting As It Looks!
I’m afraid that ‘chocolate’ does not
form part of our weight-loss programme - but it grabbed your attention!
So what is our 12 week programme about? Well let’s begin by telling you
what it’s not. Our weight-loss programme is not a quick fix scheme, their
