Fitness goals often end up on the back burner when people are cooking up holiday foods. For weight control now and in the New Year, the physicians at Weight Success Centers are explaining how to stick to a plan for better health.
Physician-Led Programs and Medical Weight Loss
Often, physician-led programs are the best place to start for achieving fitness goals. From low-impact exercise to medications and plans for medical weight loss, these steps could be your path to success.
1. Talk with a Physician: Start with an easy conversation between you and your doctor. Physician-led programs for exercise and medically supervised weight-loss plans can be customized for your unique needs, current health condition, and fitness goals.
2. Know Your Numbers: Physicians will conduct exams and tests to provide you vital information, including your base levels, BMI, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart health, and overall health. This will help determine a sustainable routine and treatment plan to fit your needs.
3. Avoid Quick-Fixes: Many quick-fix diets and workout trends promise results, but we all know they do not work in the long run. A weight-loss doctor can help design and customize a complete program with medications, exercise, and meal plans tailored for sustainable health and fitness.
4. Don’t Overdo It: Starting off with an easy exercise routine or a daily 20-minute walk is not only safer for beginners, but it will also allow you to progress and build momentum. Later, fitness plans for aerobics, HIT, or strength-training may be recommended.
5. Start a Healthy Routine: Rather than exhausting your body with excruciating workouts, seek expert advice for easing into a healthy routine. It may be as simple as starting a fun hobby like pickleball or golf. Physicians and trainers may provide you with a fitness strategy to break free from a sedentary lifestyle and to add enjoyable activities for cardio health.
6. Fitness is More than Exercise: As always, it is important to remember that proper nutrition, hydration, stress management, and regulated sleep schedules are all essentials for physical and mental fitness. One-size-does-not-fit-all in terms of fitness goals and weight control. A comprehensive approach to medical weight loss may be the best choice for long-term success.
7. Finally, Embrace Modern Technologies: Today’s modern fitness apps and health tracking technologies can provide guidance, motivation, and accountability. More importantly, mobile apps connected to body-monitoring equipment can check our vitals for safety and emergency support.
In honor of National App Day on December 11, you might consider downloading a physician-recommended health app to monitor your goals. As with any therapy, plan, supplement, or medical treatment – results and benefits vary for each individual patient. Customized treatments may include nutritious diet plans, heart-healthy exercise programs, behavioral support, supplements, hormone therapies, weight-loss medications, and medical solutions for achieving a healthy balance in life.
