Here we are
again, its January, it’s cold and miserable and we all feel fat and ugly! After
overindulging over the Christmas period we are all determined to get back in
shape.
The internet is currently awash with detox plans and miracle regimes to
get everyone thin, fit and strong.
We’re not going to add to the list but we
are going to offer you a piece of advice that you should always take into account
when deciding if you going to try to lose weight.
Do not start a block of hard training if you
are dieting
This is a
mistake people make over and over again and (in our opinion) why many “I must
get fit” New Year’s resolutions fail around mid to late February.
People will
have spent most of December drinking and eating and probably not doing much exercise,
and when January arrives they go on a strict diet and flog themselves in the
gym.
The usual result is they become either sick or injured and then the new
regime falls by the wayside.
As we have said previously you have to match your
nutrition to your training needs. If you are going to start a very hard
exercise regime, depriving your body of the necessary nutrients to provide
energy and make the adaptations will result in, at best poor training sessions
and at worst, getting sick and/or injured.
If you want
to go on a diet some key points to remember are
- Make sure
you maintain an adequate intake of protein, 1.5-2g/kg of bodyweight
- Make sure
you do resistance training in the gym to maintain muscle mass (remember nothing
crazy)
- Keep any
cardio work to a moderate intensity and duration
Once you
have reached you goal weight you can start to increase the intensity of you
fitness regime.
