HOW TO ACHIEVE RESULTS

FOOD
EXERCISE
WATER
SLEEP

Eating the right FOOD:

Making healthy choices and portion control.  There are many programs out there to help you accomplish this.  BeachBody uses a color-coded container system for those of us who are very tactile-type learners.  WeightWatchers uses a point system.  MyFitnessPal is an online food tracking system as well.  The IMPORTANT thing is this:  We didn’t get overweight by eating healthy foods and already knowing and adhering to proper portion control.  These systems make it easy to identify what a proper portion “should” look like.  After that, it’s YOUR responsibility to do with it as you desire.  Choose a program that works for you, and stick with it until it becomes second nature.

Doing the right EXERCISES:

Find what works best for you.  This is not just a physical thing, but also a mental thing.  If it’s not fun, not engaging, not challenging, not interesting, you will probably get bored and quit.  At BeachBody, we have Coaches who can help guide you towards a workout that best serves your needs and abilities.

WATER:
This is simple.  Take your current weight and divide that in half.  That’s how many ounces of water (non-alcoholic liquids) you should drink every day to stay fully hydrated. (Example: A person weighing 200 pounds should drink approximately 100 ounces of water daily.)

SLEEP:
Your body needs time to repair, recover, and metabolize your daily nutrition.  On average, a middle-aged person needs between 7-8 hours of sleep each day.
