Inactivity Leads to Mental Decline: Why Won't We Simply Do a Fat Loss Fitness Routine?

Inactivity Leads to Mental Decline: Why Won't We Simply Do a Fat Loss Fitness Routine?


Startling new research shows that being a slob, over the long term, can lead to mental health challenges. Evidence presented recently by the University of Bristol research team shows that long term inactivity can lead to dementia and depression.


How does that make you feel? I feel a knot in the stomach hearing research like this. All around the western world obesity is growing. The figures are frightening. The uptake of diabetes is soaring which usually has a direct link to obesity and lack of exercise.


Currently only 35% of men and 24% of women reach the recommended weekly amount of physical activity.


Professor Nanette Mutrie, an expert in exercise and sport psychology at the University of Strathclyde, "It's only recently that people have begun to see the link between physical activity and mental health.


As a society when will we wake up and heed the call of the experts? Put simply, ten to twenty minutes of exercise three to four times a week really is not that challenging. Why don't we help ourselves to become fit and healthy? It really is not hard to do or difficult. Fat loss fitness routines are easy to do and are fun when you find the right one for you.


Look at resources such as this here. Truth About Abs
Simple to do and used by thousands of people with documented results.

Fat loss fitness routines and a careful but simplistic view of eating healthy foods most of the time is the tonic for long term health.

2 Critical Factors for Any Diet or Fitness Routine to Avoid Failure. Used by Sports People Around the World

Elite athletes of any sport, successful business people, even outstanding achievements in music or the arts have 2 primary reasons for succeeding.

Conversely, those that fail in sport, fitness, diets and business do not operate from these 2 principles. Consequently they fail over time.

What are the 2 principles underpinning success?

Your First Principle Must Be a Vision of What You Want (Your Ideal) and a Strategy/ Plan to Get There

97% of small businesses do not have a plan of attack. When I work with small business owners most cannot tell me what they want. Their clarity around their vision is not clear. So for you in the fitness and diet realm - do you have a clear idea of what you want?

Sure - you can say - "I just want to lose some weight". But this is not clarity. Generalities do not cut it! Tell me right now specifically, "What exactly do you want from your fitness and diet routine?"

A great answer might go something like this: "I would like to lose 28 pounds over the next 3 months, fit into size 12 jeans, exercise 5 times a week and feel better than any other time in my life."

Specific ideal is what this is. Visionary and specific wins the day.

A simple exercise I suggest you do which may in fact change your diet or fitness routine into a winning successful one is to come up with 3 written ideals for the next 3-5 years and 3 written ideals for the next 90 days asking this question, "What exactly do you want from your health and fitness?"

The 2nd part to this first step is to find a great strategy or plan of attack to take you down the path you want to go. In business we call this a business plan and often it can be modelled or re-engineered on what another successful business has done. Tony Robbins calls this modelling.
Take a proven, successful formula and copy it (with flexibility for change to suit your own needs).

In diet or fitness there are many formulas that work. This site - Click Here - has some of the best of them with thousand of examples of workout and diet success stories.

Second key principle Behind Succeeding at Your Fitness or Diet

In a word - it is accountability. Weight watchers and other program have worked superbly for many because of the meetings, the weigh ins and the regular accountability.

Most people under estimate accountability. I believe it is the cornerstone for all success. Having a coach (business or personal coach) to report to, motivate you, congratulate you and to "kick you up the backside" is all part of achieving anything.

So if you have failed in your fitness goals; if your diet is not working for you consider this: Do you have a written down vision of what you want? Do you have a plan of attack? Do you have someone holding you accountable who cares about your success? This may make the difference between success or failure.

I struggled for many many years in losing weight and getting fit. Finally some bad news about my heart motivated to make big changes. I found this site also. It helped me with great workouts and diet tips that are practical and easy to follow.
