Reaching your weight goals can feel daunting. With so many considerations from diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices, it can be hard to know where to start.
If you’re on a weight loss treatment, this can be even more apparent. We all know the feeling, so how do you incorporate fitness habits to build momentum without feeling demotivated?
The MedExpress clinical team says it’s useful to set small and realistic goals.
“Focusing on long-term habits, setting small goals, staying active, and noticing how much better you feel can all help with motivation,” they advise.
“Lifestyle, routines, and habits built during treatment will support long-term goal management.”
For our athletes, it’s about finding consistency when trying to achieve different goals - whatever that goal is.
For example, when Jos Buttler approaches mobility training, he sets realistic and achievable milestones, like working on his core muscles.
"Your core holds you upright,” he explained.
“It helps you bend and twist and jump, and it strengthens your posture, whether you are batting, sitting at a desk or running around a park."
This guide will help you understand how small, consistent steps such as a daily walk or gentle stretching can create momentum.
It includes practical strategies such as pairing new habits with existing routines (habit stacking), reframing setbacks as part of the process rather than failures, and celebrating small wins to stay motivated.
SETTING THE STAGE
Weight loss treatments are changing the landscape of weight management and supporting health improvements across a spectrum of conditions.But treatments are just one part of the journey. To build lasting results, exercise is one partner that will take your progress further.
WHY MOVEMENT COUNTS
Pairing treatments with physical activity will sustain results over time. Here are four reasons why exercise helps:
1. It helps you preserve muscle mass while fat is lost
2. It improves your heart health and endurance
3. It boosts your mood, your resilience, and your stress management
4. It can help you maintain long-term weight loss
You don’t need high intensity or a gym membership, just a commitment to moving regularly. Because even small, consistent steps make a big difference.
SUSTAINABLE CHANGE
Weight-loss solutions can be valuable in supporting effective weight management.
If you exercise you can keep the weight off, keep your head clear, and keep your body strong. Treatments can start the journey, but movement takes you where you really want to go.
