A Few Words Of Advice On Weight Loss

For those who want to lose weight, I highly recommend a cardio routine which does NOT involve walking, jogging, and especially running. Why? Because you'll end up in the ER room at worst, and at best, you'll do enough damage to your muscle and ligament tissue to where you won't be exercising for weeks until you've healed.

What I personally recommend, is a routine where you're standing in place, and moving your upper body and mid-section (abdominals), and concentrate on those two areas. What about your lower body (legs)? This will happen naturally. When you lose weight from moving your abs and upper body, your lower body will follow. I recommend losing 8-10% of your initial body weight before you start to begin a brisk walk and jogging routine. Trust me on this one. You'll benefit so much more, and you'll actually lose weight quicker if you wait to implement your walking and jogging routine later on.

Why Own A Pedometer?

When I first began my weight loss program, I chuckled at the thought of a pedometer. Why? Because all I wanted to do at that point, was to lose weight. I didn't need a cute little device to tell me how many calories I burned, or how far I walked. I just wanted to lose weight. To this day, I still think the same. However, as a person progresses through their weight loss program, it does become essential to track how much exercise is being done to be consistent. Because let's face it, weight loss is great, but keeping it off is another adventure in itself. Having some sort of visual tool to see when you're exercising, is nice. Sure, a person could simply write down on a piece of paper how far they've walked or jogged each day, along with the time, and keeping a written journal, but since we are in a high-tech society where the computer is such a valuable tool, why not take advantage of it. And how likely are you to be so organized, that you're going to collect all those pieces of paper with those vital stats on them? Yeah, I thought so. Which is why I would prefer an electronic device to handle this information for me, while I lose the weight.

This is where the Omron HJ-720ITC can benefit you. It's simple to use, and the information is loaded to your PC for storage. You can view the information daily, weekly, monthly, and even yearly, to track your progress.

Also, a word to those who need some advice on weight loss. Feel free to email me. In times where HFCS (High Fructose Corn Syrup) is in just about everything (i.e., Bread to Chili), and in the age of a Soylent Green can surpassing the nutritional benefits of food manufacturers, you just have to shake your head and ask yourself...can I do this? Well, yes you can. You can lose weight. Having a product which shows you just how much progress you made on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis, is not only convenient, but helpful. It is a part of the puzzle I personally use in my weight loss program.

So, let's take a look at the HJ-720ITC Pocket Pedometer.
