The folks over at Zen Habits recently posted a pretty good article on The Simple Fitness Rules, and I thought I would make some observations on them from a WLS dude perspective.
They start out with two simple rules…
- Get your body moving on a regular basis; and
- Eat a moderate amount of real, whole foods (with occasional indulgences).
Number 1 is something as a WLS patient we’ve been hammered about since that first informational session. Just moving (something beyond our normal routine) is important. And the moderate amount of food thing, well… we’ve got a tool to help us out in that department. So it’s the expanded version of this I want to look at more.
- Get Moving
- Enjoy Yourself
- Slowly Add Intensity
- Minimal Equipment
- Just a Few Exercises
- Eat Real Foods
- Eat Less
- Give it Time
