It’s a huge mistake to think that it’s not natural, and even sinister, for a very overweight body to huff, puff, pour sweat and become exhausted. If you are plus-sized with a jelly-belly, you must not fear exercising with vigor and rigor. I’m not saying go out there and pound your knees on the hard pavement. You must learn which routines you can do with a high level of effort, and which ones you must do with caution. This will take experimentation, and a personal trainer can help. There are numerous routines that a very heavy body can do with high intensity, while maintaining safety. I will discuss this in a future blog.
It’s no more “torture” for a significantly overweight person to pant heavily and feel the “burn” from serious muscle fatigue, than it is for a 130-pound person to endure the same experience. Exercise should be uncomfortable (but not painful), challenging and tough in order to generate results. That lean, buff individual is just as uncomfortable working his or her butt off as any obese individual would be. The only time “results” come before “work” is in the dictionary!
Let’s get to work.
