Nick Geoppo has not only achieved a remarkable weight loss of 110 pounds (49.89 kg) but has also successfully maintained this transformation for five years. The American individual, who consistently shares inspiring content related to weight loss and fitness, has now taken on the role of a health coach dedicated to empowering others to cultivate self-belief through the attainment and maintenance of a healthy body weight. In a recent post on Instagram, he discussed what he considers the most effective exercise regimen for lasting weight loss.

'Exercise for your mind and eat for weight loss'

"Focus on mental well-being through exercise and prioritize nutrition for weight loss," Nick emphasized. He shared striking before-and-after images showcasing his significant transformation and remarked, “The initial step is to cease exercising solely for the purpose of weight loss. For instance, it may take approximately an hour of walking to burn 300 calories, whereas consuming a slice of pizza can take merely two minutes to ingest the same amount.”

His guidance? “Engage in exercise that benefits your mental health and make dietary choices that support weight loss,” Nick advised, further suggesting, “To establish a sustainable routine, reflect on this question: What is the maximum effort I can exert that I do not dislike?”

Begin with a daily 10-minute walk for two weeks

"Nick continued. “If you currently lack an exercise regimen, incorporate one full-body resistance training session each week, gradually increasing to two sessions.”

For those who feel apprehensive about visiting a gym or working with a trainer, Nick offers this reassurance: “If the gym is unappealing, consider exercising at home. Search for ‘Full body 10-minute home workout’ on YouTube. If you find workouts tedious, play some upbeat music to make it enjoyable. Exercise need not be overly serious or burdensome; it should not feel like a chore involving meticulous counting of repetitions or constant weight increases.”

In conclusion, he advised, “Make it simple, enjoyable, and lighthearted. Allow your routine to evolve over time rather than striving for a 'perfect' plan from the outset.”
