I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again…it is never too late to take charge of your health and fitness and start making healthy positive changes to your eating and exercise habits!! And today I’ll back that up with another inspiring Lose Weight Success Story of one of our Rock Star Hitch Fit clients who is 60 and FIT! I am so proud of Donna. She is the mother of Hitch Fit transformation Kristin ( mother of 4 including Triplets) . After seeing Kristin’s transformation, Donna wondered if she could make some great changes for herself. She received the Hitch Fit Online Weight Loss plan “Lose Weight Feel Great” as a gift, and we were up and running!! Donna did fantastic, she has lost 22 pounds and 10% body fat. What’s even greater than those numbers is the increased energy and strength that she now has which spills over into every other aspect of her life, including enabling her to keep up with all those grandbabies! Donna’s Stats:  Starting weight: 156.6 Ending weight: 134.6 Starting body fat: 35% Ending body fat: 25% Donna’s Story:  “I am 60 years old and my successful Hitch Fit transformation came true because of my daughter, Kristin, who was my inspiration and motivator. Kristin, her husband Anthony, and my four beautiful grandchildren live in Kansas City and I live in St.Louis. On several visits to KC, I kept noticing the muscles that Kristin was developing and she told me she had completed a program called Hitch Fit. Kristin joined the program after giving birth to my four grandchildren (the youngest were triplets) and she wanted to tone up. I could not believe how amazing she looked. Every time I would visit I would comment on how healthy and fit she looked and I kept telling her that I wish I could lose some weight, tone my muscles, and be able to get off some, if not all, of my medications (especially my blood pressure and cholesterol medications). My four grandchildren are the joy of my life and I so wanted to get out of my rut of gaining weight and feeling tired. I wanted to be able to run, play ball and be able to keep up with four energetic 2 and 3 year olds. I was thrilled to receive as my birthday/Christmas gift, from Kristin and Anthony, the 12 week lose weight program from Hitch Fit. I started the end of January and after completing it I have lost 22 lbs. My energy level has increased and I even have some muscle! Hopefully, my lab work has improved that I may be able to discontinue my medications (I will know in the fall). The program is amazing! Diana is so helpful and answers every question you may have. She leads you through until the end of your program. I can’t tell you how grateful and blessed I am that I have a daughter who cared so much about my physical well being that she recommended to me the Hitch Fit weight loss program and encouraged me to do it. I saw her great results first hand, right before my eyes, so I knew it worked. I have changed my lifestyle to eating healthy and exercising. I was able to celebrate this years Mother’s Day with my daughter Meghan in Scottsdale, AZ, hiking mountains, horseback riding, and enjoying life to the fullest! I would not have been able to do that a year ago. Thanks again Kristin and Anthony!!

New Skinny on Weight Control

                                        

 

How much should you exercise to maintain your weight loss?

After you lose weight, how much exercise do you need to keep it off?

80 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity (walking between 2.2 and 3.7 mph, playing softball, golf or table tennis) a day or 35 minutes of vigorous activity (jogging, active dancing, tennis) a day.

That's according to researchers at the University of Chicago and the University of Wisconsin at Madison who followed 33 women, ages 20-50, for one year after they had lost at least 26 pounds.

This amount of exercise -- the 80 minutes of moderate or 35 minutes of vigorous activity a day -- which the study found necessary for maintaining weight control is much higher than the half hour a day of moderate intensity activity generally recommended to promote health. The researchers suggest that, if you want to try it, the most practical approach is to alternate vigorous exercise one day, moderate the next.

But don't take these numbers as gospel. "It's a good study," Says John Foreyt, Ph.D., a leading obesity researcher at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. "But it's one study. Many people are able to maintain their body weight with less exercise [than this]." While physical activity is a must to keep off weight, he says, those who maintain a weight loss often figure out for themselves how much they can eat and how long and hard they must exercise. It varies from person to person.
