Convincing patients to exercise can be tough… not only does it need discipline and determination but the harder part is how to plan ahead that this patient will stick to the regimen.
The idea of losing weight can be attractive but doing it is another story. Going through my recent posts on weight loss tips: a simple way to lose weight using the food diary, eating the right food choices and benefits of increasing physical activity…this time I thought it would complete the package by sharing with you some tips on how to stick to a regimen. It is as important as having a goal and achieving that goal… so that all we need to do is to stay focus to be successful!
