There will only ever be 24 hours in a day and how we use those will have a huge impact on our weight loss success.
I know it’s not easy. With the crazy pace of our lives in the 21st century we are finding ourselves busier than we ever have before at any other time in history and as a result, we may find it difficult to incorporate exercise into our hectic schedules.
The reality will always be that if you want to have any success with your weight loss you have to be able to exercise and make it part of your new lifestyle.
But just because you will be adding exercise to your daily routine doesn’t mean that you have to join a gym unless you really want to.
Even just watching a little less television and opting instead to go for a brisk walk can contribute to your weight loss. Playing with the kids and exerting yourself a little more will burn extra calories. Finding the balance that’s right for you and the exercises that you can work into your lifestyle without turning your whole life upside down is the key to your success.
If it proves very difficult for you to find the time during your day to exercise then simply take the times that you undertake any kind of physical activity and amp it up just a fraction more to burn the extra calories.
Use the time you play with the kids to increase activity levels. Instead of just playing with them why not bike ride with them or throw a ball around at the same time? You still get to spend quality time with the added benefit of ditching extra calories.
Get active, sign up for a sport whether it’s tennis, football, baseball, swimming or aerobics. This is a great way to lose weight and have fun at the same time and while making new friends (what a great way to get support). Even making the time to do this once per week can contribute to your overall weight loss.
If you work in an office building why not opt to take the stairs? To build up your fitness you may even wish to go past your own level. Not only is this a great way of increasing your fitness level but it’s also fantastic for incorporating into your daily schedule so you in essence made it part of your new lifestyle change without having to make too
