The warm weather is here, it is almost officially summer. Hiding excess body weight under winter clothing is no longer an option. Thick thighs and flabby arms are now more of a concern. The good news is, it is never too late start a workout regimen and adjust eating habits to lose some unwanted lbs. Getting started and wanting immediate results are often deterrents, therefore it is imperative to make a plan, stick to it and the results will come in time. If you already exercise on a regular basis and eat pretty well but are not getting the results you want, there is hope for you too.
If you are new to exercise and healthy eating, keep it simple. Commit to exercising four days a week and select the activities you will do. Here is a simple routine for beginners; Run or speed walk for 20 minutes, complete 5 sets of 100 jumping jacks, and then complete 5 sets of 10 of each exercise; push ups, squats, lunges, sit-ups.
In addition to exercise, diet needs to be considered. To help lose weight, eliminate these things from your diet; fried food, bread, white rice, cheese and all junk food, juices and sodas (fresh vegetable/fruit juice is allowed). Over a two week period, a beginner will notice results in energy and physique after doing this for just four days a week.
For those already exercising on a regular basis and not getting the results you want, you need to take a look at your diet, maybe adopt the suggestions above and/or try becoming a vegetarian for two weeks. Additionally, you need to make changes in your routine. Your body has likely become accustomed to doing the same thing over and over again, you no longer get the results you did earlier on. Lack of results are also a result of doing the wrong exercises and low intensity. Try dynamic and intense movements such as; jump rope, running stairs, boxing and plyometrics.
