Some Obstacles to Fitness Past 40

There are a number of habits which may get in the way of fitness and weight loss after forty.

A major fitness and weight loss block is lack of enough sleep, or allowing ourselves to become so tired that we reach for that energy drink, candy bar, or high-calorie fast food to give us a "lift" temporarily. The result is often an overwhelming lack of energy after 30 minutes, and the cyle goes on. Have something to eat every two or three hours, no matter how small, to keep energy levels consistent throughout the day.

Avoiding breakfast because of a lack of time, or thinking that less calories will mean weight loss is a disaster. In fact, a healthy breakfast will rev up the metabolism to start the day, and you will burn more calories daily as a result.

Clinging to the more dangerous habits that stand in the way of good health and fitness like still smoking after all these years. You may think that weight gain will result after you quit smoking. A temporary, small weight gain can be offset by starting your exercise program. Qutting smoking can be a daunting thing.....I accomplished it with hypnoss and a hell of a lot of focus.
