Exercise is vital to shedding excess weight and keeping it off.
The body was meant to be active, and that is often a challenge in
today's often-sedentary lifestyles. White-collar workers, security
workers and drivers make up a large part of the workforce, and many get
very little daily exercise.
1- Exercising before you eat just makes you hungrier. Exercise after eating when the body has to work harder to digest food.
2- Use the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can. Elevators are a great convenience particularly if you have to go up or down some twenty floors. But elevators also make us very lazy.
3- Do not slouch in your chair but try to maintain an erect posture with your tummy tucked in. Slouching is a very bad habit. Not only is it bad for your back but it also gives you a very flabby figure.
4- Do not carry your mobile phone around but leave it a place where you can hear it ringing. In this way you make sure that you at least get up and walk towards it.
5- 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.'
6- Any distance is walkable if you have the time, 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.
7- Try yoga. Yoga is one of the best ways of losing weight. Of course I can't go into a full lecture about yoga, but I can tell you that I have never seen people with better-toned bodies than those who practice yoga. One of the benefits of yoga is that you learn to control virtually every muscle and joint of your body so that the issue of weight gain will cease to exist.
8- If you have a dog, take it for a run and let the dog lead you on. You will be surprised as to how much exercise a dog can give you.
9- While making telephone calls try walking up and down.
10- Exercise out doors as much 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.
11- 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.
This is the last tip, 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.
