The mention
of a gym sent shivers to some people who are not used to the equipment, and
some who are simply shy when they have people looking at them exercising. This
was my fear until I realized that most people down the gym are too busy getting
fit to pay anyone else any attention. And the good news is that one can do
without the gym for weight loss workouts, check out Fast Weight Loss
Exercise
is a great way to become healthier. The more muscle you build the faster your
metabolism becomes. But
you should always seek your doctor’s opinion before
embarking on workouts especially if you are severally overweight.
Try
and find an exercise you enjoy. You are far more likely to do it and it will be
easier to add that weight loss workout to your overall lifestyle. There are
countless types of fitness activities that you can try. riding a bike is a
great way to workout providing you do it regularly. And a gentle bike through
the park is not sufficient. You need to be biking up and down hills to really
get the benefit from this program.
Aerobics
may suit some people although be warned as it can be heavy going on your
joints. Be sure to attend a class held by a qualified teacher and ask to start
with low impact exercises. Always choose the right gear particularly your gym
shoes as you need to protect your body. It is not a great calorie burner though
despite the fact that you can end up sweating a lot. You would use up more
calories climbing the stairs a lot at home.
Swimming
is a great exercise if you are worried about your joints or have an injury
which affects your ability to work out.
You won’t lose a lot of calories unless you work really hard but it is
great for your heart and lungs.
You
could try combining swimming and aerobics i.e. aquarobics. The water adds an
element of resistance. This should help you to tone up quicker but only if the
instructor makes you work harder. Gentle classes are not your goal at the
moment!
Pilates
is a fantastic exercise for those looking for weight loss workouts. The simple
mechanics of Pilates make you stand straighter; this automatically makes you
look like you have lost weight. Good instructors will help you to advance to
more specific Pilates moves to help you tone more quickly without causing
injury.
Walking
is a great way to get some free exercise. Buy a cheap pedometer to keep track
of those steps. You want to aim for at least 10,000 per day. Swinging your arms
as you walk will encourage you to walk faster and thus burn more calories. We are not looking at going for a gentle
stroll. Leave that to the older folk.
Walking helps prevent heart disease and stroke.
