one of the
changes Weight Watchers has made to
the new system is that they are
encouraging members to work towards
reaching an Activity PointsPlus Goal each
week. The base goal is at 14 PointsPlus
which is 2 PointsPlus of activity a day.
Almost everyone, deep down inside,
wants to be more active. Sometimes
getting started can prove to be
challenging. One of the biggest mistakes
that is made is to set your goal too high.
Let’s face it. If it’s been 3 months since
you’ve done any activity, but yet your
goal is to get up every morning at 4:30
am and do an hour workout at the gym…
the chances of you being successful is
probably less than 1%! Be realistic. Like
your daily PointsPlus goal, your activity
goal is flexible.
Now having said that if you are already
earning 14 PointsPlus in a week than
instead of saying “woohoo I’m done”,
challenge yourself to do more. Bodies
adapt. Beginners may continue to
improve their fitness level for up to 12
weeks using the same routine. However,
seasoned exercisers may need to make
changes as often as every four weeks.
Changing routines can challenge your
muscles and make further improvement
more likely.
