Lose Weight Fast

Hi,

Are you having a tough time fitting exercise into your schedule?

If your answer is YES, we want to help you out today.

To stay fit, and especially when you are trying to lose weight, exercise and diet are both important factors.

It is great to get some aerobic exercise 3-5 times a week, which includes walking, running, biking, swimming, anything that gets your heart rate going....but is this all that realistic. I mean who has time to go down to their local swimming pool for a couple hours every day to get a swim in.

These days it is becoming hard to find the time to fit exercise in between families, jobs and other commitments. We understand...

The good news?

There are many great ways to get exercise into your everyday life without having to sacrifice a large amount of time to get them done!

So how to busy people fit exercise into their daily routines?

Here are some ideas of how you can fit exercise into your everyday lifestyle.

These days, we really rely on our cars. Here are some alternatives:

Walk to the corner shops instead of driving.W
Walk to the bus stop or train station, and catch public transport to work.
If taking the bus or tram, get off one stop early and walk the rest of the way.
Park the car a fair distance from the entrance of the shops and walk, rather than parking right out front.
Wash and vacuum the car yourself instead of taking it to a car wash

Many of us also work desk jobs where we are sitting for most of our day. Some ideas to get up and moving are:
Take the stairs instead of the elevator
Use at least half of your lunch break for a brisk walk, even if it is only 10-15 minutes (make sure to bring some comfortable shoes with you, or leave them in your locker at work)
Stretch at your desk every hour
When you need to talk to a colleague, don't use the phone or internal email - get up from your desk and walk over to them
If your job involves sitting at a desk all day, make sure you get up and walk around for a few minutes every hour
There are so many activities that we do around the house that can really be amped up to help keep fit. Some ideas are:
You might enjoy the housework a little more if you think about all the calories you're burning while pushing the vacuum and mop around
Listen to your favourite music or the radio and dance around the house
Play actively with your children
Walk the dog or go for after dinner walks regularly with the family, or make your usual walk 10 minutes or so longer
Get stuck into your garden. Mow, rake leaves and get some planting done
Incorporate a few more physical activities into your family's leisure time, for example, you could take the children to the park or kick a ball around the backyard instead of going to the movies.

And of course, when you are just out and about in town, you can still make everyday tasks more challenging by:

Ignore the elevators in favour of the stairs
In shopping centres, take the stairs instead of the escalators
If you do take the escalator, walk up them instead of just riding them
If you live close enough, try walking to drop off the movies you rented, or walking to mail a letter or pick up some milk
By making these small changes, your body will really thank you! You do not need to re-arrange your whole life to fit in exercise...make exercise work for you!

Choose exercises that you enjoy doing, and if that means doing crunches or squats in the ads of your favorite TV show, or making a walking date with your best friend once a week, that's great! The smallest changes can have the biggest influence, so choose some favorites from this list and get exercising!

Have a healthy day,
