Alka Tone Keto - Determine commitment boundaries: This concept is perhaps the most important of all. I have seen people spend thousands of dollars on weight loss programs only to abandon that effort just days into the program. They over-committed themselves and were not able to follow through. Every weight loss program has a few things in common. Each of these things will vary from program to program, but the basic components remain: Frequency - how often you must workout, Intensity - how much effort and intensity you must put into your program Time - how much time you must exercise each workout, Type - the type of exercise(s) you will be doing during a program This actually has a common name. We in the fitness industry call this the F.I.T.T principle.
