What do you think is the best way to lose weight?

If you’re like most, your answer is exercise and healthy nutrition.

But what if I told you that this is only a small piece of the truth?

Even worse, what if I also told you that you can do those things and get little to no results?

This is because there are still five fatal flaws you can make. But after you read this you will be much better prepared than most to succeed.

1. Selecting the wrong exercises – All exercises are not created equal for weight loss. Some burn many more calories than others do. So how do you tell the difference?

The more muscle an exercise involves, the more calories it burns. For example, the biceps are a small muscle. Therefore, bicep curls don’t burn many calories.

By comparison, squats use lots of muscle. The mass of the quads and glutes get activated. So squats are a good choice.

Chest presses, pushup, and pullups, are also excellent options. Of course, these are just a few of many options. Always include exercises that use large amounts of muscle into your workout routine.

2. Not increasing your workout’s intensity – The same workout routine that kicked your butt one day becomes easier every time you do it. As a result, the routine becomes less effective.

The way you counteract this is to increase your intensity with each workout. Tracking your repetitions per set, amount of resistance, and total number of sets will allow you to do this effectively.

Every time you perform your workout your goal is to do a little better in at least one of these areas. This will guarantee that you are pushing your body a bit harder with each time you train. This is vital for achieving weight loss.

3. Taking the wrong approach to cardio – Cardio is being labeled a waste of time by many trainers today. This is absolutely not true. The problem is that many are doing cardio the wrong way.

It’s being performed in a way that yields minimal to no results. The common approach is to perform it for 60 – 90 minutes at a slow to medium pace. This burns mimimal calories which is counterproductive for weight loss.

Instead, make sure your cardio contains some element of speed or power, or the combination of both, which is explosion. Work at a pace that you can only maintain for 30-35 minutes. This will have a lingering effect, burning more calories for you throughout the day.

Sprinting, jumprope, and speed swimming are a few examples of good choices for your workout routine.

4. Not creating a caloric deficit - If you want to lose weight you must burn off more calories than you are consuming. This is called creating a caloric deficit. Once you have accomplished this, your body will begin to burn off its fat reserves.

A general range for men is 2200 – 2600 calories per day. For women, it tends to be 1400 – 1700 per day. Keep in mind, that is possible for your caloric requirements to fall outside of these general ranges.

5. Infrequent eating - Maintaining lean muscle makes losing weight much easier. This is because muscle causes your metabolism to work at a fast pace. However, muscle needs to be fed every three hours, for a total of 5-6 meals per day.

Not doing so means your body will actually consume it’s own muscle as a source of nourishment. This is known as catabolism, and it can ruin the best workout routine and weight loss plan.

These are the same mistakes I warn my clients about. Avoiding them will help keep you on track to reach your goal.
