Weight loss tips

Some of the important points to remember when you are on a weight loss program are:

• If you lose weight too quickly with just dieting alone, you'll most likely lose more valuable lean muscle mass than body fat, so be sure to stick to a program that gives you no more than a two-pound per-week loss.
• Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water before, during, and after your workouts. If you are thirsty, it is too late - your body is already telling you that you're dehydrated.
• Stretch after you are already warmed up and after your workouts. Warm muscles respond better to flexibility training.
• Never work out the same body part two days in a row (excluding core training). Each body part needs a day of rest in-between workouts for recovery.
• Try Yoga in-between workouts if you find yourself feeling stiff and sore. Also, doing some light cardio exercise seems to help to relieve soreness. Just be sure to stretch after as well.
• As with any exercise program, if you experience chest pains, lightheadedness or dizziness, nausea, or extreme muscular or extreme muscular or joint pain, stop immediately and consult a physician before continuing.
