THE more you think about exercise, the more weight you lose.

For some people, exercise is their favourite part of the day, for others its just another chore they want to get over and done with.

However, thinking of exercise as a chore could actually be the reason we cant lose weight.

Researchers from the University of Michigan have suggested the key to weight loss is all in our minds we need to change the way we think about exercise.

The study published in BMC Public Health, found what makes us feel happy and successful overall can be determined by our exercise methods.

The study showed both active and inactive women said connecting with others and helping them be happy and successful made them feel fulfilled, along with being relaxed and free of pressures during their leisure time, and accomplishing goals from grocery shopping to career goals.

However, inactive women said the way they felt about exercise made them feel less happy and unsuccessful.

This is because many of them said they believed valid exercise must be intense, yet they said they wanted to feel relaxed during their leisure time.

The inactive women said they feel pressure to exercise for health or to lose weight and yet during their leisure time they dont want to be pressured.

And these women also said they believe success comes from achieving goals, yet their expectations for how much and how they should be exercising was leaving little room to achieve these goals.

Comparatively, active women didnt feel bad if they missed a workout every so often and for them exercise was a middle priority.

Michelle Segar, study author said: "Their beliefs about what exercise should consist of and their past negative experiences about what it feels like actually prevents them from successfully adopting and sustaining physically active lives.

Michelle said she thinks the traditional approach to exercise 30 minutes of vigorous exercise per day could potentially harm motivation.

She added: "We need to re-educate women they can move in ways that will renew instead of exhaust them, and more effectively get the message across that any movement is better than nothing.

Michelle continued that the key is to make exercise fun, not daunting and prior studies have shown exercising with friends or finding a fun exercise can help with this its all about changing the mindset to enjoy exercise, not fear it.
