While achieving dramatic results from your fitness program in a short period of time is possible, the probability of sustaining your results for a long time is very unlikely. It takes me 16 weeks of intense exercise and very strict dieting to get ready to compete in a bodybuilding competition, and I cannot sustain that peak physical condition for very long. So, buying into those quick fix programs is a waist of your money, because you can't keep up the effort it takes to sustain the results for the long-term.
Staying healthy and fit is a lifetime effort which is most easily accomplished through balance and moderation in your diet combined with regular exercise. The quick fix approach is just a short-term answer to a long-term problem.
As promised I'm starting a contest to giveaway a copy of my book Forever Fit and Firm. All of the exercises that I have posted about over the last few weeks have come from my book. There's only two requirements to enter the contest. 1. Become a follower of my blog and send me a comment stating your favorite exercise from one of my previous posts. 2. Become a Facebook Fan of mine and send me a comment telling me your favorite food.
The contest starts March 1st and ends March 31st. Good luck!
I agree with you. However, many people start a physical activity program because of long-term benefits, it’s the short-term benefits that keep them motivated to continue the habit. :)
ReplyDeleteDan, thanks for your comment.
