Four Important Reasons for a Fitness-Weight-Loss-Program.

In your bid for superior cricket fitness you should be aiming for optimum body fat levels. If you have excess body fat your performance and fitness won't be at its peak.

The completion of a fitness-weight-loss-program will allow you to increase your concentration, motivation and quickness. As well as your motivation and self discipline.

I have purposefully left out a target figure for body fat levels. This would only cause anxiety and worry for people that didn't fit into the right percentage range.

You need a correct measurement taken by a professional if you want an accurate body fat measurement. You then need that measurement interpreted and conveyed to you in a professional manner.

For yourself to do it or a friend you are setting yourself up for incorrect results and possible stress on your part worrying about the results (which are probably wrong anyway).

If you want a reading get a fitness professional to take it for you. At least then you will know it is right and you can then take the appropriate action.

You should know if you are carrying more than you need (body fat that is). However you don't need to see your six pack abs to be at the right body fat level. Use your common sense.

Concentration.

By reducing your body fat levels your concentration will be given the opportunity to improve. Your brain can now utilise more nutrients to fuel its operations. No longer will your body be expending energy on supporting and moving dead weight (body fat) around the training track and cricket field. By achieving your fat-loss goal you will be eating better quality healthy food which in turn will put more nutrients into your body for your brain to utilise. Concentration is a major ingredient for cricket success and by achieving fat-loss your concentration will improve.

Motivation.

Your motivation will also pick up mainly due to your natural energy boost. You will have a renewed vigor for training sessions and matches. Rather than drag yourself to training in anticipation of the struggle you are about to face in lumping yourself around the park lifelessly. Because of the body fat shed in your fitness-weight-loss-program your energy levels will enable you to attack your fitness and cricket training with renewed vigor and motivation. Your actions will be more authoritive and intense in nature. Exactly the actions that are needed for cricket fitness and playing the game. You can forget the slow, lethargic and uninspiring fitness training sessions and start getting double the impact from your efforts in half the time. Why wouldn't you be more motivated.

Quickness and Agility.

A major differentiating factor in any dynamic team sport is speed and agility. By carrying excess body fat you adversly affect this important factor. All actions carried out in training and play involves speed and needs you to be agile. Unfortunately a lack of agility sticks out like the proverbial (dog's b---s). Without completing a fitness-weight-loss -program to reduce your body fat you are starting well and truly behind the pack. You cannot expect to show these athletic attributes and carry excess body fat stores.

Self Discipline.

To achieve your fat-loss you will need to change and sustain a new or improved lifestyle. You've eaten healthy food and increased the quality (not quantity excessively)of your exercise. Most importantly you have attained a greater degree of self discipline. By succesfully completing your fitness-weight-loss- program you have increased and exercised that self discipline. This will flow into your cricket fitness, cricket training and playing life. With your increased self discipline your chances of improvement increase dramatically.

These are just four compelling reasons to undertake a fitness-weight-loss-program to rid yourself of unwanted body fat. And in the process improve your cricket fitness.

To take it one step further you can include resistance training (weights or body weight) in your fitness-weight-loss-program.

By doing this you will be losing excess body fat and helping to keep it off via an increase in lean muscle mass. With your increase in lean muscle mass and lost body fat your strength gains will quantify the benefit you have gained by losing that excess body fat.

If you lose body fat with the aid of resistance training you are now changing your body's composition. The amount of lean muscle mass in comparison to fat tissue is swinging more in favour of the muscle tissue. This is great for cricket fitness and also your health.

So what's stopping you. Get out there and start your fitness-weight-loss-program.

All of the above points are reason enough to lose body fat however check out these added benefits. Injury prevention, a boosted immune system and increased total body energy levels. These are just related to cricket fitness.

The health benefits are endless and are big enough to write a book on.
