How can anyone know what to believe, with all the grandiose claims made by so many different weight loss programs? The answer can be found in the definition of your goals – and if those goals are the loss of weight and inches, increased flexibility and agility, more effective breathing and renewed vigor and energy … all without suffering aching, painful muscles or an exorbitant outlay of time and money … then isometrics is the exercise for you.

What’s The Best Weight Loss Program?

Anyone considering embarking on a fitness/weight-loss program today has an unprecedented number of options from which to choose. Yet experience (and market research) have shown that most programs are abandoned within the first month – so clearly,Isometric Exercise Combined With Healthy Nutrition Articles choosing the right program – the one that will work for you – is a challenge that requires some thought and study.

Everyone knows the two basics for successful weight loss: Less empty calories and more exercise. But since all fitness programs claim to incorporate both, why aren’t they all successful? The answer is because people find them too demanding, too hard, too painful … and they quit. With an isometric exercise program, coupled with a reasonable change in diet, that kind of frustration and failure doesn’t happen. Why not?

First of all, diet. Don’t think of it as “a” diet, but as an improved nutritional program. If you’re living on nothing but greasy hamburgers and ice cream sodas at the moment, you don’t need a scientist to tell you that your diet is unhealthy and guaranteed to pack on the pounds. You already know that … but you’re not willing to eat “grass and twigs” instead, either. Nor should you be. Balanced, healthy, satisfying meals should be your goal … and reasonable portions of same. There are several excellent, balanced diets on the market that prescribe tasty foods you’ll really enjoy eating; you owe it to yourself to research them and find one you believe you can live with.

Second, exercise. When a devout couch potato decides to join a gym in order to “get healthy,” odds are that all he or she really is going to get is overwhelmed, frustrated, discouraged and beaten by sore, aching muscles and the embarrassment of being so out of shape in front of all the toned, trim bodies one usually finds in that kind of setting. Not to mention developing some pretty powerful resentments about all the time required and the outrageous expense of gym membership.

Isometric exercises, however, are successful because they don’t have those built-in “failure factors.” They do not traumatize your body or torture your muscles … you can do them in the privacy and comfort of your own home, whenever you feel like it … and the low, one-time cost of a good isometric exercise DVD is all the expense you’ll face.

The best of both worlds – and your best chance for success – is an at-home, isometric exercise DVD that includes a sound nutritional program. If you truly want to lose inches and pounds, and become healthier and more vigorous in the process, there’s absolutely no need to starve yourself (which wouldn’t work, anyway, and you’d just re-gain any lost weight) or to torture yourself with the kind of exercise that would challenge even a member of Cirque de Soleil!

A good nutritional program and training in focused, gentle isometric exercise is your best bet – and an isometric DVD containing both will start you on the road to realizing your goals quickly and painlessly.
