Weight Loss Tips #2

Exercise

"A rolling stone gathers no moss" I am sure sure most of us wrote that proverb in our compositions in lower primary. In your weight loss journey, let us translate that to "A moving person gathers no weight" hehe. After you have eaten clean, the next thing is to get moving.

Most people claim that they are busy and don't have time for the gym, here are a few tips that can help you:

1. Dont take the lifts, use the stairs instead. It doesn't matter whether to 2nd floor or to 10th floor. You can start small, e.g add one flight of stairs weekly.

2. If you take public transport to and from work, alight one stop before your usual stop. Walk for 30 minutes or so.

3.Buy a skipping rope. Once you have used the stairs and done those 30 minute walks daily, you may want to start skipping. Skipping is quite intensive so you may want to start small. You can start with 50 skips daily for one week. You can then move to 100, then 200 etc. I can comfortably go for up to 2000 skips.
NB: Never skip ropes without the proper shoes, you risk injuring your foot, also land softly and not with a thump.

4. You can then advance to workout dvds. Most movie shops stock these dvds. The easiest to start with are the Zumba dvds. They are quite enjoyable since they involve some dance techniques. I would advice you to look for a workout dvd called "Look Better Naked" it is my all time favourite. The moves seem quite easy but i guarantee you you will be sweating by your 10th minute. There are other dvds also available in the market.

5. You can join the gym and also have a personal trainer.

See, you dont have an excuse for not working out now, do you?

Have a nice workout, Adhis ♥
