Posted at by ifydcat on category weight loss
Almost everyone gets into a routine; in fact, all animals are creatures of habit, and humans are no exception. If you have bad habits, of course these can be very damaging to your waistline. If you follow some sound advice, though, you can make some simple changes in your routine and begin to lose weight.
If you’re already a relatively active person or enjoy exercising in any form, then you should replace an exercise with sprinting. As long as you’re healthy enough for the activity, sprinting will put you in the prime cardio zone to boost your metabolism and burn calories. You won’t have to sprint for long. Try going for 5 minutes and working your way up.
When you’re out on a date with your significant other, the odds are good that you’re not going to wolf your food down like you’re in the prison mess hall trying to keep Bubba off your cornbread. You’ll take daintier bites, watching that you’re not making a pig of yourself. Sharing mealtime with others is a great way to ensure that you don’t get carried away.
You shouldn’t eat in front of the TV, because it distracts you from focusing on when you’re full. But most people prefer a distraction while working out. If you watch TV while working out, you’re guaranteed to add another 10 minutes or more to your workouts without feeling bored or tired.
How many donuts would you shove down your gullet if you could watch yourself do it? The probable answer is zero. So, using this logic, you can watch yourself eat via a mirror to control your appetite. It’s a strategy that works.
This is something anyone in an office building can do. Instead of taking the elevator, just take the stairs instead. Even if it’s only one flight and you feel it won’t make a difference, take them anyway. It does make a difference!
Any walking you do is good for you, even if you only walk the length of half a parking lot. When you park at the store, don’t fight for the nearest space. Park farther away from your destination, and use the opportunity to get some quality exercise.
The average person drinks a couple of sodas (or drinks with sugar in them) per day. Don’t go cold turkey just yet. Simply make the have a bottle of water instead of one soda. Over the next few days, opt for soda more and more frequently until you’re only drinking water.
If you live near a bodega or anything of the sort, leave the car parked when you need some supplies and make the trek on foot. This is great exercise that no one should be passing up if they need to lose weight.
Any changes you make in a positive fashion will pay huge dividends in the long run, so make sure you start by making a few key changes in your life right away. Implement these changes and watch the weight fall away before your eyes.
