NY POST – Jenna Rizzo, a women’s weight loss coach from Georgia, is sharing three “easy steps” to shedding pounds before summer — gamify your activity, follow the “one-scoop rule,” and get at least seven hours of sleep a night.
“Over the years, I’ve learned the worst thing that you can do is try to go [from] zero to 100 overnight,” Rizzo said in a popular TikTok last month.
Women’s weight loss coach Jenna Rizzo is sharing three “easy steps” to shedding pounds before summer — gamify your activity, follow the “one-scoop rule,” and get at least seven hours of sleep a night.
“So here are three things you can start doing today that will get you results without having to change everything about your life.”
“Now, you never have to spend hours in the gym, but you should get your body moving — and a way I like to do this with my clients is setting up a challenge for yourself,” Rizzo said.
“This could be a step challenge or hitting at least 30 minutes of exercise every day and you incentivize yourself with a reward or a prize,” she continued.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends adults each week participate in 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, and spend two or more days engaging in activities that work all the major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms).
“It is quite clear from numerous large-scale, well-conducted epidemiological studies that 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity most days lowers the risk of premature death and many diseases, such as stroke, heart attack, Type 2 diabetes and many types of cancer,” Ulf Ekelund, a professor specializing in physical activity epidemiology at the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences, told The New York Times in 2022.
