Where To?

Most people have a basic goal when they work out. It might be to lose weight. It might be to have a smaller waistline. It might be to have bigger biceps or tighter glutes. It might be something less visual, such as being able to reduce certain medications.
Whatever your work out goals might be, it is important to have a goal because if you don't know where you want to go, how will you ever get there. People don't just show up at the airport and take whatever plane is available at that moment. They already know where they are going when they leave for the airport. Likewise, you should have an end result in mind when you are working out. If your primary goal is to lose weight, you should be doing everything you can to burn calories while at the gym. It would also be helpful to set a goal, such as staying on the elliptical machine for 30 minutes or until you have burned 300 calories. If you are serious about losing weight, know that you should exercise 5-6 times per week. If you are trying to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you take in. A pound of fat is equal to 3500 calories, so if you want to lose a pound a week, that is the deficit you must have. For best results, reduce your caloric intake and increase your caloric output. It is hard to do, but it is not impossible. Find a trainer who can guide you or a friend who will be your support group.
