Your body uses food for energy and stores any excess energy as fat. To lose weight, your body must use up these stores of fat. If you increase your levels of activity but maintain the same diet and kilojoule intake, you will almost certainly lose weight.
Start a cardio and weights workout programme
A healthy weight loss programme is incomplete without a good exercise routine, and weight training mixed with cardio is the best way to lose weight. Variations and different forms exist, but any workout that concentrate on muscle tone and increased heart rate will always help you lose weight and keep it off. You can either start a home workout today, or rely on gyms for fitness training.
Have at least one active hobby
Find something you enjoy that is easy for you to do in terms of location and cost. You will then more likely build it into your routine and continue to exercise, despite inevitably missing the odd session through holidays, family commitments, etc. The probabilities are endless: buy a motion sensor gaming console that lets you enjoy social games with friends and family; clean your house once a week; do gardening; dance; play sports. Get out of the office during lunchtime and off the couch during weekends and you will have fun along with the healthy weight loss.
Get out and about over the weekend
Make the most of the summer and plan weekend trips and outings to the park, coast or countryside. Tell family and friends about your efforts to lead a healthy lifestyle and involve them in activities. Getting support can help you reach your weight loss goals. When you have a picnic for example, you are in control of what you are going to eat and drink that day.
Increase your activity levels
Every extra step you take helps to control your weight. Leave your car at home and walk to the shops. Always use the stairs instead of the lift, or get off the bus a stop before the usual one and walk the rest of the way. Even light exercise, such as a short 20 minute walk, will be beneficial if done most days of the week.
Exercise while watching TV
Use commercial breaks between TV-programmes to stand up and do exercise, or consider using an exercise bicycle in the living room while watching your favourite programme.
Losing kilos doesn’t have to be torture. Every single time you exercise more than usual, you burn kilojoules and fat. Combining exercise with a controlled-kilojoule diet gives the best results when you want to lose weight.
