There is one major factor that I think everyone must do in order to lose a significant amount of weight. It doesn't have so much to do with burning calories, although it does burn many calories. It has nothing to do with eating correctly, although it does make you eat significantly better. It has everything to do with self confidence and taking control of your life. Once you do this one thing, then do it again, and again, then accomplish something you never thought possible, all of the sudden your life goals change, your weight loss journey doesn't seem so hard anymore. Doing this just changes every aspect of your life.
What is it? It's not running, as many of you might think. It's doing something totally out of your comfort zone, such as a 5k road race or a 10k. Even a half marathon, or a full marathon.
If you've never done a road race and want to lose a good amount of weight, you've got to stop thinking about the weight loss and start thinking about changing your life, and getting out of your confort zone. Guess what? Doing a 5k road race, just finishing it, will bring you a sense of satisfaction you've never felt before, thus a new start to a new life.
Even if you walk the whole thing, which many people do, you will get so much out of completing it. There's really nothing like it.
Watch this video of how one person changed his life around. It all started with one step...
I will be starting a Shaping Concepts running club very soon called the SCRunningClub. Who wants to join me in changing their lives?
I'll be sending out more information very soon about my running club. In the meantime... get up and go for a run.
Chad Cannon is the owner of Shaping Concepts Fitness Studio in Bluffton, SC.
