Why some committed people can't lose weight ?

If you've been working out for a while and if you go to a fitness club regularly, you have probably already seen a chubby fellow working so hard in his abdominals that he can't even breath and his face is so red that you think that it's about to pop out of his neck. Or what about the mid thirties pretty fleshy woman reading a book while she is doing endless sets of abductors on the machine. If you pay a minimum attention to what's going on around you at the gym you may have already seen both of them because we find people like these everywhere. But what's wrong with them?

Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with them, they should be felicitated for their commitment and they're patience. These people are at least doing something, they have the will but they lack of knowledge and that's what is preventing them to achieve their goals. They only need a bit of guidance to start doing the good exercises for them and start getting results.

What to do if you've recognized yourself among these people? First of all congratulations, because if you're here it's because you're looking for knowledge and that's halfway to success. Secondly you should focus the biggest part of your program on compound exercises like rows and presses. If you're a woman and you want to get better legs and gluts don't spend your time working on machines like the abductors, try to work with leg presses, squats and lunges instead. These exercises engage much more muscle and they're much more effective because they not only lead to more muscle building but they also increase your metabolic rate for hours after your workout.

Weight loss is not related to the number of hours you spend at the gym. You can be wasting your time, sweating, struggling and suffering in vain hoping for results that are never coming. Make sure you have a good workout routine and a good nutritional plan before you step into a gym room and you'll be in the good road for success.
