Readers Questions - Coach David

This week’s question comes from Clare in Berkshire, England: Thank you for recommending the DreamBody System to me Coach David. In 10 weeks I lost 30 pound which is fantastic. However, for the past 3 weeks I have not lost any weight at all. I would like to lose another 12 pounds. Can you help? Great question Clare. Firstly congratulations on your weight loss. Here at Dreambody we know that the DreamBody System works but now like many of our clients before you, you have now proved to yourself that it works too, so well done. What you are now experiencing is a ‘plateau’. This happens to most people at some stage on their weight loss program. I always advise my personal clients to expect this. It really is perfectly normal, actually I would be more surprised if a client didn’t experience this. What your body needs now is what I call a ‘kick start’ – Simply it’s got used to your new way of life and has started to idle, it just needs a bit of a boost. So here are my tips. You now need to challenge your body more – If you keep doing the same exercise at the same intensity for the same length of time your body gets use to it. So change what you do eg: If you walk, cycle or swim go a little faster or exercise a little longer or add another day of exercising. If you always cycle then try some swimming or walking. ‘Cross train’ - eg do some walking and some cycling and some swimming. When you are walking or cycling try to include some hills and gradients in your route. I recommend that all my clients exercise first thing every morning – It’s a great time to exercise, it sets you up for the day, awakens your metabolism and starts burning those calories. Also it gets your exercise out of the way so there is no risk that ‘more important’ things get in your way and stop you from taking your exercise. Everyone can find the time to eg walk or cycle every morning – Just get up 30 minutes earlier. You won’t lose out on sleep, because as your body gets used to your daily exercise you will start to need less sleep. So make exercising first thing every morning a habit. You wouldn’t start your day without brushing your teeth or going to the bathroom would you? Well make sure that you wouldn’t dream of starting your day without your early morning exercise! Here’s a great technique that I’ve mentioned before - It’s called ‘Fartlek’ which is a Swedish term meaning ‘speed play’. I recommend you try it. If you are walking, cycling, or running you simply play with your speed. Eg 1) Work at a medium intensity for say 1 minute or between two street corners or for the next 4 trees or if you are swimming, for say 2 lengths of the pool 2) Then work at a high intensity until eg the red sign post or to the cab rank you see ahead of you or again if swimming for say 1 length of the pool 3) Then reduce to a slow pace to get your breath back (recovery) You might do this several times before returning to a longer period of 'even' pace. Then you might do a second and then a third period of Fartlek and so on – get the idea? There is no set format for Fartlek, you just do what comes into your head but make sure you get some high intensity and medium intensity and low intensity (recovery) and try to include hills / gradients. A fantastic exercise that I have recently taken up is ‘Nordic Walking’ – This is walking with poles similar to those used by cross-country skiers. Nordic walking is huge in Scandinavia and parts of mainland Europe. An amazing 16% of the population in Finland take part in Nordic Walking. It has been proven that Nordic Walking can burn up to 46% more calories than normal walking (Cooper Institute Dallas 2002). I now Nordic Walk for one hour every day on my local beach and once a week I walk in the hills for about 4 hours. I really recommend that you check out Nordic Walking but do try and take an introductory session with an instructor so that you learn the correct technique and get the maximum benefit and enjoyment from it. For more information about Nordic Walking and to find a Nordic Walking Instructor visit: www.nordicwalking.com Ok Clare – I hope that has given you some ideas. One final tip that I mentioned in one of last month’s newsletters is to ‘Food Combine’. At a simple level that means not mixing carbohydrates and proteins at the same meal. It’s worth getting yourself a book on Food Combining to learn more – It really is an excellent way of approaching healthy eating. Have a great week... Coach David
