Weight Loss Exercises
- You can take a day off from
exercise every week This is not just a weight loss tips but it is part of the
exercise routine Your body needs a day off from an exercise routine so do not
hesitate to take a day off from what ever you have been doing
- Exercise out doors as far as possible There
are two advantages of doing whatever you are doing out side One advantage is
that it gives your body a chance to get a lot of the much needed fresh air and
sunshine The second advantage is that the surroundings keep you perked up and
it is a break form remaining cooped up all day long
- Try to collect some information about
exercise, there are a lot of things that you can do at home Extensive research
has been done on exercise and plenty of this information is easily available
You can try browsing the net or getting a book or two on how to exercise at
home This information will be useful to you to know how much you need to work
out on each specific exercise in order to burn off the desired number of
calories
- Try to get somebody to exercise along with you
Teach your new weight loss tips to others But it should be somebody committed
or else your interest might dwindle This is indeed an excellent idea One of the
advantages of getting a committed person to exercise with you is that it keeps
you going There may be days when you feel just too lazy to crawl out of bed in
the mornings On such days, the knowledge that some body is waiting for you is
enough to slide out of bed Another advantage is that you can discuss your
progress and fears with another person and be a sympathetic listener to the
other person as well This is a fine way of getting motivated your self
- Stop when your body has had enough There is no
sense in pushing it When you have worked out for a considerable time, your body
will start giving you signals Heed those signals This is particularly true in
the initial stages Take one step at a time Stop when you are out of breath or
when a certain part of your body tells you that it has had enough
- If you want to increase your time of exercise
or your work out routine, do it gradually and not in sudden steps Well easier
said than done Most of us have such hectic schedules that it is quite
impossible to fit in tie for exercise right’ Wrong I want to say it once and
for all, your body, or anybody’s body for that matter needs proper exercise If
you make up your mind to do it, you just can
- Select an exercise pattern to suit your life
style All of us have different life styles and professions so there is no sense
in trying to follow the book strictly Try and follow an exercise routine that
is suitable for you You have to understand that even more important than the
exercise it is sticking to it So unless you choose something that can suit your
life style, you are not going to stick on to it
- Don’t stand, walk If you can walk about then
do so Do not stand in a fixed position Pacing about is a good thing to do If
you are thinking deeply about something, try pacing about, it will aid in your
thinking
- Don’t sit, stand If you can stand, then do not
sit The golden rule is to choose a position that is less comfortable
- Don’t lie down, sit The rule that we mentioned
above rings true here as well
- Do not be a couch potato It is the easiest
thing in the world to become a couch potato You know what we are talking about
don’t you’ That shapeless thing that sits or reclines on a shapeless chair in
front of the television and stupidly munches away at something fried! If you
are inclined to become a promising old couch potato, break the habit, cut at
the very root of the vine And you want to know what the best way is for that’
Take away that favorite chair of yours In fact, it would be a very good idea if
you could keep a chair that isn’t too comfortable in front of the TV This will
discourage any tendency to become a couch potato
- If you have a sitting job, stand up and
stretch yourself every half an hour Most of the jobs today are indeed sitting
jobs that are in one word sedentary This is especially true for those who sit
and punch away at the keyboard or toy with the mouse all day long So if you
have such a job, make it a point to get up at least every half an hour and
stretch your self
- While making telephone calls try walking up
and down I hope you will agree with me that this is an excellent suggestion
- Use the stairs instead of the elevator
whenever you can Elevators are one hell of a convenience particularly if you
have to go up or down some twenty floors But elevators also make us very lazy
There may be no sense in trudging up some twenty flights of stairs because by
the time you get there you will be totally pooped But while coming down, if you
have the time, you can easily come down the stairs instead of using the
elevator Coming down is not at all exhausting And talking about the time
factor, I don’t think that there is much of a difference Sometimes waiting for
an elevator door to open at your floor after you hit the button can take up all
of eternity
- Smoking is bad for weight loss Smoking as such
may not contribute to weight loss but smoking leads to other conditions like
erratic eating habits and excessive dependence on things like coffee Teach
loved ones that smoke these weight loss tips and maybe they will stop too
- If you hate running, remember, you do not have
to run a marathon to stay fit minutes of
cardio each day is good enough for most
- And if you can’t run, try walking minutes of brisk walking a day is enough to
keep most fit
- Any distance is walk able if you have the
time, so consider walking to places that you would normally drive (such as work
or the market if they’re not too far away) It may take you longer, but the
health benefits will last you a lifetime
- It sounds strange, but some people have
reported that they lost more weight when they drank black coffee before a
workout While there’s no hard data to support this, nutritionists speculate
that the caffeine in coffee makes the body rely more on fat for fuel during the
work out It’s worth trying!
- Here’s a corollary to the tip above: Avoid
drinking coffee in excess, as it tends to desensitize your body to the fat
burning effects of caffeine
- Stop using remote controls Remote controls are
the bane of a prospective weight loser They may be remarkable gadgets by
themselves but for weight loss tips remember that from the weight loss point of
view, they just aren’t very helpful They really encourage us to take a laid
back kind of attitude towards life itself In fact if remote controls were not
there, the television would not have become so popular It is because of remote
controls that people can remain where they are and switch from one channel to
the other And they only have to twitch a finger muscle to achieve this Now, I
have nothing against multi channel television sets but what I strongly advocate
is that you get up from where you are and change the channel of the TV each
time you want to do so The same thing holds true for other remote controls as
well As it is we have remote controlled TVs, DVD players, A/Cs, garage doors,
gateways and what not The next thing we know is that we will have remote
controlled people as well
- Do things like fetching, turning things off
and on by you’ Often when we come back tired from work, we tend to get others
to do simple chores for us These things are no big deal They are things that we
can very well do for our selves but we don’t That is why we often ask our kids
to fetch us this or take away that Training your pet is a wonderful thing
indeed It is quite remarkable how some people get their dogs to fetch them
something But the fact is that while you may be making sure that your dog is
getting a lot of exercise, you are neglecting your bit of the story
