More About Activity... Your choice of physical activity is a very personal choice that should center on activity that appeals to you. Historically, we have found that once you start losing weight and feeling better, then the urge to move comes natural. The activity section of your new patient manual will help inform you on some basic stretches and general information. Included is an exercise log that would hang nicely on your refrigerator or bathroom mirror. Also discussed is body composition/body fat testing, using bio-impedance analysis. It is critical that we monitor your ratio of fat to muscle as you lose weight to assure you lose fat, and maintain or gain muscle. Specific guidance on exercise and toning will be given as you progress. Also included in your new patient manual are several articles regarding exercise, designed to assist you in increasing your activity levels as your program progresses. These articles and instructional guides will help you choose activities that not only fit your interests & lifestyles, but also your weight loss goals. You are encouraged, throughout your weight control program, to track and record your daily activity and the amount of time you participated in those activities. Just like your nutritional journal, your exercise log gives Dr. Wells the ability to most effectively plan your treatment course. |
