Weight Loss Motivation - Do You Hate to Exercise?

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Motivation can be a big problem for a lot of people. Do you know you need to lose fat, know how great it would feel to succeed, but for some reason don't take the actions to do it? If so, you are not the only one. Motivation can be a tough thing to get past.

In order to get past this, you need to understand how weight loss motivation works.

The first thing that you need to do is stop looking at motivation as something that can be achieved and preserved. It is a common thought that once you "get motivated", you are forever in that state of mind. I assure you, this is not the case at all.

Fat loss motivation is NOT something to be achieved and preserved.

Fat loss motivation IS an emotion that is just like being happy or sad. There are times when everyone has good days and bad days. Motivation for weight loss is no different. There will be days when you will feel like you want to do something, and days when you won't. Instead of fighting this and coming down on yourself, you should understand that this is perfectly normal. The key is to be aware of this and use it to your advantage, not as an excuse.

Another big factor in weight loss motivation is what your subconscious mind attaches to exercise.

When you hear the word "exercise", how do you feel? Excited? Frustrated? Angry? Anxious?

If the answer to that question was anything negative, I can tell that you have negative mental links to exercise. Maybe it was a specific bad experience in the past, or maybe you have just not been successful with exercise and it has frustrated you. If the word exercise gives you a negative vibe, then you need to get past that. This all ties into weight loss motivation because your subconscious thoughts are what dictates your feelings about exercise.

If you feel like weight loss motivation is a challenge and you have negative mental links to exercise, here are some great tips to help get past that.

1. Workout with a friend with similar goals.

Research studies show that social support is a huge indicator to how well you will adhere to a program. You may noy enjoy working out alone, but what if you were with someone every step of the way who was going through the same thing? Your motivation for weight loss would change dramatically!

2. Workout at home.

If the thought of going to the gym bothers you, don't worry. You can do a great home exercise fat loss routine with just a few pieces of inexpensive equipment. Once you are in great shape, you can go show off at the gym =)

3. Don't be so hard on yourself.

I am a personal trainer. I have spoken with a lot of people on motivation. The one thing that almost all of them have in common is that they are very hard on themselves for not "making" themselves workout. The more critical you are of yourself, the more negativity you bring into your weight loss efforts. Learning to be disciplined but also accepting that exercising for weight loss is not always easy. You can be successful, and you have to believe that you can do it. Motivation for weight loss is something you can achieve!

I hope that you have learned a lot about weight loss motivation in this article. Remember that your motivation for weight loss will have its ups and downs. As long as your stay positive, persistent, and enthusiastic, you can make it work!

Weight Loss - It's All Relative

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

10 minute whole body workouts are not easy. They are not supposed to be.

Comments I often get are "there is no way I can perform the exercises in those workouts" or "I will probably only be able to each exercise once in 10 minutes".

Another terrific attribute to this system is RELATIVE INTENSITY.

Everyone, and I mean everyone is at a different ability level and fitness level.

  • Some are stronger.
  • Some have never exercised regularly.
  • Some don't have much stamina.
  • Some feel like they need to lose weight before they can exercise.
  • Somedays we feel great...somedays not so much.
  • Etc.

It doesn't matter. Why? Because every exercise can be modified to be more difficult or much easier.

The days you feel like a million bucks...you might get 4 or even five rounds done in 10 minutes.

The days you don't you may only complete 3. You take what your body will give you.

In addition, you can also increase or decrease the resistance of any whole body exercise routine without adding weight. Your can:

  • Increase or decrease your base of support (move your feet closer together or further apart)
  • Go Bilateral (Stand on one leg or perform with one arm if appropriate
  • Increase or decrease speed
  • Less rest

Here's a bit of advice that was given to me along time ago -

"Before you can be great at anything you first have to be good. Before you can be good you have to start!"

Can you do 4 exercises, 10 repetitions each, and then repeat that for 10 minutes at your personal best effort?

I bet you can.

Weight Control And Fitness Advice For Seniors

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Are you at the stage where you think it is too late to start exercising and watching your weight? WRONG it is never too late to start correcting any excess in body fat or lack of energy, the latter probably caused by the former.

Before retiring in 2000 I held a commercial pilots license and was a chief flying instructor. To retain my license I had to have a strict medical every six months so I was acutely aware of the necessity of keeping in good shape and understood the importance of keeping my weight under control to minimize the possibility of high blood pressure and all the other possible undesirable effects of being overweight. I had always been fairly active, played a lot of golf, skied annually, enjoyed swimming and walking so kept fit without any specific exercises or keeping to boring diets.

However, on retiring and due to traveling extensively plus partaking of all the delightful varieties of foods available I found my weight increasing considerably. I was very tempted to resign myself to this as a natural process due to aging but when I noticed that after playing eighteen holes of golf I was not interested in another nine and that the pit stops on the ski slopes were becoming more attractive and difficult to leave, I decided it was time to do something about it.

The crunch came when, while playing in a friendly soccer match I tore my Achilles tendon. This required surgery and afterwards six weeks in plaster and on crutches. It was another couple of months before I was able to walk comfortably without a stick and by this time my weight, mostly belly fat, had seriously increased. I was unfit and fed up. My physiotherapist had advised me to join a fitness center to workout regularly and to watch my diet. I spent a couple of months going to the gym, pumping iron, doing crunches and curls, pounding away on the treadmill and while feeling slightly stronger and fitter, did not experience loss of body fat. I was beginning to accept the likely fact that maybe I was just too old to lose my belly fat.

Fortunately someone at the gym suggested I hire a personal trainer. This I did and was started on a full body workout routine three times a week. Whereas before I had been randomly going from one exercise to another I was now on a monitored and varied workout which was designed to reduce my belly fat and at the same time to tone up my muscles. Even so it was some time before I saw any real results in loss of weight but as my trainer explained to me the reason for this was although I was losing my belly fat I was at the same time building up my muscles, which weigh more than fat. I had noticed by then that he was starting to cut back on the muscle building exercises and was concentrating more on the cardio work and that's when I began to see a regular reduction in my weight.

During this time my trainer had been trying to persuade me to talk to the dietitian at the club but I have always been opposed to diets having known so many people who had been on a range of them, some cutting out carbohydrates, others semi starvation etc. etc. Virtually everyone I knew either lost some weight but immediately put it back on when they stopped the diet, or got so depressed with being deprived of so many foods and drink they enjoyed that they adopted the attitude it was better to be fat and content than lean and miserable. I therefore continued to eat as I have always done with a good variety of meat, fish and vegetables in reasonable quantities and still enjoyed a regular pint of beer and wine with my meals.

As my contract with my trainer was nearing its end he naturally wanted to know if I was going to renew it. I told him I felt that I was capable of continuing on my own after all his excellent advice. He told me that although I might know the workout routine I was still ignorant of the best way to eat healthily and in particular what foods to avoid and this might lead to a gradual increase in weight, which if not checked would put me back to square one. He urged me to purchase a couple of books written by acquaintances of his who were professional trainers, body builders and qualified nutritionists and which were available for download on the internet. Having reviewed a number of books on the subject, the majority of which seemed a load of rubbish I was naturally doubtful but was confident my trainer would not risk his reputation by recommending them to me unless they were something special. I took his advice and these books were a revelation. Not only do they contain all the information required for any workout routine, whether it be to lose weight, to build muscles or great abs they also contain a wealth of information on how to eat healthily and give excellent advice to both male and females of all ages plus adaptable to suit your own requirements. I still eat more or less what I enjoy and have my usual beer a day with wine at dinner. What I have cut out are most of the foods that are bad for your health, there are not that many, many of which I was not aware of before.

It is not surprising that one of these books has become the best selling book on the internet of all time on ANY subject and that really speaks for itself. The combined price of these books is just a fraction of the cost of a good trainer for a couple of months and you have them available for reference for life or to pass on to your children or friends. I have read them both over and over and each time discovered something that I missed previously and think WOW how did I miss that?

By now I can hear you thinking I have only written this article to promote these books and make some money. NOT entirely true. I am not like the majority of people marketing goods on the internet that assumes most people are suckers just waiting to be taken for a ride and who will purchase anything given the right sales pitch. As I told you I am now retired and as a hobby have taken to designing and publishing my own websites and as a further challenge to review and promote books on a large number of subjects. However these two books have helped me and a large number of my friends and acquaintances to maintain a standard of fitness and health that would have been unsustainable without the advice contained therein. Obviously, I make a small commission from each sale but more important to me is the satisfaction I get from all the thank you mail I receive from the many I have recommended this book to, in particular those of my own age who had nearly given up on the quest to keep their weight and fitness under control.

I hope I have made it clear that it is not easy to lose excess body fat; it is far easier to prevent it by regular exercise and moderate eating and drinking. To get rid of it requires desire, motivation and determination plus a lot of hard work. If you are looking for a quick or easy solution do not expect to find it in these books but beware of all those offering fancy diets that guarantee you will lose X amount of weight in a very short period of time. Sure anyone can lose weight by starving themselves but it sure as hell will come back with a vengeance and damage your health at the same time. Even more dangerous is to resort to pills or potions, again these may work initially but once you stop taking them look out for problems!

Blasting Away College Weight Gain While Still in College

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

The freshman 15 can strike at any time, during any semester and can also compound upon itself becoming the sophomore 30 and the junior 40. In some ways, college can be one of the most difficult times to try and lose weight. Here are some key ways to not only keep the weight gain at bay but to also lose it if it should creep up.

Step #1 Walk everywhere.

Whenever possible, you want to pound the pavement to class and activities. A bike is also a great way to get some activity but if your destination is within waling distance you can burn a lot more calories in a 15 minute walk than with a 4 minute bike ride. The more you walk the more calories you burn and the easier it will be to lose and maintain weight without needing to add extra workouts to your day.

Step #2 Prepare your own food

There are only 3 components to a healthy diet. 1) What you eat. 2) How much you eat 3) when you eat. If you leave your diet to the dinning halls and local sandwich shop you are losing a great amount of control over all 3 of these crucial components.
So stock up on the essentials like fruit, veggies, whole grains and lean meats so you can easily prepare your own food.

Step #3 Establish a workout routine on day 1 of the semester.

I know some people like to "get established" before they start a workout routine, but the reality is that starting your routine is part of getting established. The consequence of starting a workout routine 2-3 weeks into a semester is that your schedule becomes filled in a hurry and it's tough to find time to fit it in. Before you know it, a full 2-3 months can go by without a single workout or any progress in the fight against weight gain.
By claiming workout time from day one you can block off time to give yourself some me-time that can help you distress and clear your head from the events of the day.

Additional tips:

Be sure to buy appropriate rain and cold weather gear so you are chased away from your walking commute by the weather.

Stay up to date on assignments. It's very easy to fall behind in your exercise habits when your time and energy is spent catching up with that last minute report or home work.

Lose Weight Fast With These Techniques

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Losing weight is very important to us. It is a constant pressure to keep our bodies in optimal shape both for health reasons and for aesthetic reasons. If you are overweight, you will feel better both physically and emotionally when you start to lose weight. This is important since as you lose weight, your chances of getting various illnesses such as hyper tension and Type II Diabetes will decrease dramatically and in general you will feel better about yourself, as you are accepted by your peers more and more.

Of course, losing weight is not a short process and keeping your weight in its optimal limit is a lifelong process that must be continued indefinitely. Here are some techniques that you can use to lose weight and also to keep it off.

Make sure that you undergo a diet that is suited to your physical needs. Physicians recommend that between 2000 and 2500 calories must be maintained daily for healthy living. Hence the diet that you incorporate should fall between these two parameters but at the same time it should prevent you from receiving excessive calories that will turn into fat molecules in your body. Thus the most optimal diet should contain fruits, vegetables and fibers in majority along with some lean proteins for your protein needs in your meals.

Have a daily exercise routine that you will follow every day. This in turn will cause you to have a healthier cardiovascular system, as well as to burn any excessive calories and weight that you may have accumulated in the past. Even with the best diet, it won't be possible to lose the pounds that you have accumulated without having a way to burn them off.

You do not need to do very rigorous exercises to succeed; but rather you can do simple exercises like walking for 20 minutes every day or by swimming or bicycling three times a week. In fact, recent studies show that these may be more beneficial to weight loss.

Use techniques that will help you to increase your metabolism rate. These techniques are simple such as drinking green tea, drinking grapefruit juice, and drinking cold water frequently. These may not help you much but they may speedup your metabolism by as high as %5, which can accumulate over time.

Meditating in addition to the techniques outlined above has been found to be beneficial in weight loss. This is perhaps due to the fact that most overeating is due to stress and is linked to emotional trigger mechanisms. Hence meditation will help to focus your self being.

For Weight Loss That Works Try a Fitness Bootcamp

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Getting a workout routine going can be difficult. Often times, we quit our workouts due to scheduling difficulties or a lack of results. Working out is important though, as it helps us to both feel good and look good. Those who are looking for a workout routine that works should check out a fitness bootcamp.

One of the problems of working out for people is that they do not know how to exercise properly. Individuals can feel the pain they think is gain, but it is actually just pain and not really helping the body. There are quite a lot of workout videos that simply do not work, whether an individual is not able to do what the video trainer is saying, or what the video trainer is saying will not help the situation.

The reason an individual should begin weight loss with a boot camp program is that there are trainers teaching the individual how to properly do each workout. If a trainer notices that an individual is not doing the workout in a beneficial way, the trainer will tell the individual and correct the problem. Videos will not be able to assist an individual the way a live trainer can.

It is this direct feedback that makes a boot camp better than a video. With a video, when the going gets tough, the individual can just quit. The trainer on the video can only push an individual as long as the television's power is on. A live trainer, on the other hand, can offer support since the first weeks of a new workout program can be quite strenuous.

As well as having a supportive trainer, a workout program like this boot camp will also have group support. If you are looking to lose weight, chances are that many individual are looking to lose weight. This means that everyone is in the situation together, which means that each person empathizes with the others, allowing for a caring support system.

Having this kind of support system is very important in any endeavor. Everyone feels insecure at times and insecurity can cause an individual to quit. If there is a group mentality, the group will help each individual overcome their insecurity, because, in most cases, each member of the group also feels that same insecurity.

Exercising is very important, but if not done properly, it will not help. This is why becoming educated on workout techniques is so vital to exercising. Boot camp will help an individual get into shape and will teach an individual how to stay in shape. We would not know how to read or write a sentence properly if our teachers did not teach us and this situation is very similar.

The Truth Behind Calorie Intake to Lose Weight

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Everyone wonders what is the exact magic number of calories to intake to lose weight?The truth is you will never find this number because it doesn't exist. Everyone is unique and one number that fits you, may be useless for another person.The truth is you need a combination of fewer calories in,which is directly tied to your eating routine,and more calories going out to truly lose and keep the weight off.With this guide you can finally clear the mist and get started correctly.

First, it has been researched and found that there are 3500 calories in a pound of stored body fat. So to get rid of a pound you can cut back your calorie intake by at least cutting back 500 calories a day. At this rate you would lose a pound a week.In order for this to work you have to know how much you are taking in. Once you have this data collected the cutting back can begin.Which leads me to my next point

It is recommended that you keep a detailed food diary for at least one week to really see what you are eating on a day to day basis. You can look at the calorie content of the food your eating to see how much you are taking in. From here you can start finding the foods you can do without, reduce the amount eaten, or make the change over to a lower calorie version.

You may think cutting back is difficult but it doesn't have to be.Starting off simple is the key to reducing your calorie intake to lose weight. One way is by simply changing the milk in your cereal. Just going from whole to half or even reduced milk can help.Deciding to go from regular soda to diet can help. The act of just going from white bread to wheat bread can help as well. All of these little changes can help you on your way to weight loss.There is also no need to try all of these at once. Start off with one change than after a couple of days add another one. These will add up in the end.

It is also recommended that you combine your calorie intake with exercising, It has been found through research that it is easier to exercise in conjunction with watching calorie intake than to try to cut back the calorie intake alone. Just being active in conjunction with regulating your calorie intake can do wonders for your body.You will notice as the weeks progress your weight loss will vary. You could even notice a gain in weight due to new muscle being formed. This is due to muscle weighing more than fat. You should know that if you are a person who likes to workout.

In conclusion, a good schedule for losing weight is half a pound all the way up to 2 pounds a week. It has been found through much research that if you lose more than 2 pounds a week it is a lot harder for the weight to stay off in the long run. It is recommended that you never reduce your calorie intake to less than 1,200 daily calories without advice from your doctor. It is recommended by the American College of Sports Medicine that generally daily calorie level intake should never drop below 1200 for women and 1800 for men. So there you have your mini-guide to calorie intake to lose weight.

Tips on Simple Diets That Enable Weight Reduction

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

People are more than ever, are looking for weight loss tips, on easy ways to lose weight, and want realistic weight loss advice.

In such a day and age, it really isn't surprising that 50% of all Americans are obese to some extent. Most of the people during this modern day time period possess stressful schedules, which result in sticking to a diet regiment not easy, and neither is trying to work out day in and day out.

Nevertheless, I am not saying that all expectations are lost. Here is some fundamental weight loss tips, that should help you shed off those excess lbs, when following Simple Diets, and applying exercise, in your goal to lose weight.

The initial piece of advice that you will be needing to consider, has to do with exercising. This realistic weight loss truth should be in any diet, much less an easy diet, all diets should include doing exercise.

Always have your physical workout first thing each morning when your stomach is still empty. There are plenty of diverse workout routines which you could experiment with, for example walking, or jogging, on the treadmill.

Another good idea on weight loss tips is running around your block a number of times, just ten minutes involving exercises, are all you have to have for you to burn off stored energy, specifically excess fat, if possible, you may also opt for longer workouts, if you feel comfortable exercising for longer periods.

Another most beneficial suggestion on weight loss tips, is that you ought to think about, or look closely at whenever you snack. You need to keep away from snacking late in the evening, as well as avoid eating all together a minimum of three hours prior to deciding to go to bed.

By doing this you can reduce all the actual calorie consumption you ingested prior to bed, instead of keeping these calories as excess fat when you go to bed, this particular easy action can result in unbelievable results for anybody who is seriously interested in applying it.

Third recommendation on weight loss tips, which you should think about, has anything to do with coffee, in the event you absolutely need to consume coffee, insure that it is black!

Extravagant coffee drinks, along with cream and sugar will be enjoyable, and delicious, yet they usually are also rich with calories. Basically just one of these bad boys, are going to blow any kind of diet program your on right out of the water.

A very good old fashioned cup of black coffee carries nearly no calories if any at all, therefore this will be clearly a significantly wiser alternative, and also while black coffee is definitely an acquired taste, you're going to get accustomed to it through time.

Next suggestion would be to split your current standard three meals each day into four to five scaled-down meals each day. A person's metabolic rate calls for regular fuel so that you can burn off fat.

In the event you supply it a number of smaller amounts each day, your metabolism will remain greater, considerably quicker, and will burn up much more calories ultimately.

Lastly, you need to reduce your carbohydrate take in, this will have a very large bearing, on just how rapidly you shed weight using Simple Diets.

Doing away with unneeded breads, pastas along with other starches, you will notice a significant change the next time that you step on your scale. Undertake this guidance and you will notice just what weight loss is all about.

Truth be told, there are simply no "Easy Diets" per say, however you will find these simple tips for weight loss, will aid you to lose weight.

Forget about those novelty Diet Programs and insane Starvation Eating Plans, and keep to the above mentioned Tips and Techniques instead.

Weight Loss Exercises - The Best Cardio Routines to Lose Weight

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

One of the best ways to accelerate weight loss is to do cardio routines. Cardio gets your heart rate up, gets the blood flowing, raises body temperature and heightens calorie consumption. Cardio also strengthens your heart and lungs, improve circulation and other bodily functions. If done correctly, cardio routines can prove to be a valuable asset in your health and weight loss program.

But which cardio routines work best for you? Which are the best weight loss exercises?

Here are common cardio routines arranged from the most to the least effective in terms of weight loss:

1. Running - Running is a massive cardio routine because it gets every part of your body moving. Running can be a high intensity workout all by itself. If you do run, make sure to swing your arms and really get your entire body into the motion. Take care not to run if you experience knee or back pain. Try running on a soft surface such as grass or sand and minimize the time you run on asphalt. If you suffered any sort of physical injury in the past, consult your doctor before running.

2. Cycling - Bicycle riding (as long as it's done outdoors) is a great cardio routine. Of course you need to be proficient in riding a bike, but it can really get your heart pumping. Make sure to ride only in safe places. Avoid the side of busy roads. Stick to bicycle lanes whenever possible.

3. Rowing Machine - The rowing machine is a personal favorite of mine as it's not only a cardio machine but also a great strength builder for the back and biceps. The one downfall of this machine is that you're sitting down while doing it. But pumping the rows back and forth gets you sweating in a minute. Of course, rowing a canoe, if that is possible for you, is even more effective.

4. Walking - Walking is also a great cardio routine. Don't stroll, do brisk walking and get your arms into the motion. For added difficulty, you can try walking with small dumbbells or wrist-strap-on weights. Try combining interval running with walking for accelerated weight loss.

5. Swimming - Swimming is a great body building cardio routine as it strengthens the entire body. However, it is difficult for regular swimmers to get their heart rate up while swimming and maintaining that heart rate for a long time.

6. Elliptical - The elliptical is great for people who suffered knee injuries as it doesn't jar your legs. However, it has almost zero resistance and usually doesn't get your upper body into the motion. I like incorporating it into my cool down routine for some added calorie burning.

7. Gym bicycle - I dislike the gym bicycle because you usually sit back and just pedal away. The very act of sitting down makes this a much less effective routine.

Any of the 7 routines I've laid out are good weight loss exercises. Some are more intense than others but can be perfect for you. Make sure to enjoy your cardio routines. Enjoying yourself will also accelerate your weight loss.

Elliptical Workouts For Women to Burn Calories and Lose Weight Quickly

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Have You Ever Done Elliptical Workouts?

If you are a woman and have every wanted to lose weight quickly than chances are you have gotten on an elliptical at a gym. You also probably spent 30 or more minutes killing yourself trying to get that fat from the unwanted areas. However chances are you didn't see the results your wanted so you either gave up on the elliptical workouts or started doing longer and longer workouts.

Why Longer Elliptical Workouts Don't Burn Fat

The problem with being on an elliptical for long periods of time is that you are not really challenging your body and forcing it to burn excessive calories. To lose weight quickly you have to make you body want and need to use your fat reserve so that the pounds will come off. Working out on the elliptical trainer for more than 30 minutes does the complete opposite and allows your body to get use to the activity and is less effective at melting away your unwanted fat deposits.

Burn Calories and Lose Fat with This 20 Minute Elliptical Workout

In order to lose weight using an elliptical you are going to have to give more effort for a shorter period of time. What you are going to do is get on the elliptical trainer and let it know you mean business by doing interval training. High intensity interval training is going to allow you to be in and out of the gym in less than 30 minutes and still have you burning calories all day long. This allows you do spend less time but lose weight more effectively throughout the entire day.

Interval Training on The Elliptical

The next time you are in the gym go the elliptical trainer and do it to a level that gives you a nice warm-up. The warm up should last for only five minutes and then the next ten minutes will be high intensity intervals where you adjust the level and speed for short bursts of workout out followed by short periods of lower level workouts or rest.

High Interval Training Workout

Step 1. 5 minute warm-up at a moderate pace and level
Step 2. 1 minute on a lower level and slower pace to allow you to rest
Step 3. 1 minute on a high level and faster pace to get your heart rate up
Step 4. 30 seconds on a lower level and slower pace to allow you to rest

Repeat the cycle for 10 to 15 minutes and allow yourself a 5 minute cool down. If this is your first time doing interval training you will want to start with doing 30 seconds of high intensity followed by 1 minute of rest. Also you will not want to do this form of interval training more than 2-3 times per week as this is really stressful on the body and you will need time to recover.

Why Women Will Lose Weight Quickly

Women will lose weight quickly doing these elliptical workouts because interval training has been shown to be much more effective and regular steady state cardio exercises. Interval training will force your body to burn excessive fat as you carry on with your normal daily routine. With this workout at your disposal the weight will rapidly fall off.

Lose Weight Faster With Insanity Workout

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

People keep forgetting what they have to do to lose weight. I had a friend that was under the impression that to lose weight he had to go to the gym and lift immense weights twice or three times at most. I tried to explain that the sort of workout is used by people that are slim and want to build up muscles and you can actually lose weight like that, maybe gain some weight because you don't burn any fat, but get bigger and heavier muscles under the fat layer. You don't look better, you don't feel better, you are just bigger.

Insanity Workout is the type of workout used by people that understand what burning fat and losing weight means. It means that, even for a short period of time, you have to get your heart pumping and your metabolic rate increased, because that is the way you can burn fat.

Of course, it also helps increase muscle mass, but not as much as the above mentioned type of workout does. Insanity Workout needs you to give 110 percent of all that you have in terms of power and speed for a short amount of time. When you finish, you only get to have a thirty second break or a minute tops, and then you start again. You have to keep this up for at least thirty minutes, but you will also get the results. Fat burning starts and even after 3 or 4 hours, the body is still burning fat.

How To Spot Reduce Belly Fat - 3 New Techniques!

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

  1. Eating too many sugary or processed foods like sweets, sodas, juices, and wheat products
  2. Creating high levels of cortisol in your body from stress and eating inflammatory foods
  3. Letting your metabolism drop by not including resistance and interval training in your exercise routine

Now that you know exactly how it got there, we can come up with a plan to get rid of it - fast!

1. Eliminate Sugary/Processed Foods

Begin to cut out any foods that come prepackaged in a box or bag. Start looking at the ingredient labels on your food and make sure the sugar content is low and that the protein content is high. By eating more lean protein like fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, and certain red meats you will feel less hungry, have more energy, and keep your insulin and blood sugar levels within a healthy range. This will stop new belly fat from forming.

2. Cutting Cortisol Levels

Cortisol is one word you should get to know. In the coming years you will begin to hear more about its harmful effects on your body and eventually it will become a household name. Basically, cortisol is helpful at certain times and levels, but it becomes a problem when too much of this hormone is being produced for too long by the adrenal glands. You'll often see its effects manifested in inflammatory issues, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weakened immune system, abdominal fat, decreased muscle tissue, and a suppressed thyroid. The good news is that you can reverse this trend by eating less inflammatory foods and working to reduce the stress in your life by exercising, meditating, listening to music, or any other way that helps you unwind.

3. Exercise

Aerobic exercise will help you burn more calories and resistance training will allow you to add lean muscle which increases your metabolism. Since you lose muscle as you age, it's really important that you add in at least 2-3 days of strength training into your routine. The best part is if you complete your resistance training workouts as an interval style workout you won't have to do your aerobic training separately on those days. You'll get your heart rate up and your muscles working all at the same time. Make sure to include squats, deadlifts, lunges, step-ups, presses, and pulls into your program if you're serious about losing belly fat. Lots of ab and arm exercises won't help you lose body fat in those areas... that's not how it works. You can't spot reduce through targeted exercise. Instead you need to work large muscle groups to burn fat and boost your metabolism, so that you're burning more fat all day long.

If you follow these 3 steps, you will be well on your way to literally cutting inches off your waist within weeks. I see it everyday and I get hundreds of responses a week on what the "magic" of this plan can do for your body and your health.

Use a Hypoxi Trainer to Jumpstart Weight Loss

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

Statistics continue to show that on average people tend to be overweight. It seems to affect both genders, although usually in different areas of the body. Maybe it's because of sedentary jobs and easy access to junk food, but there becomes a point when enough is enough. This is one reason why Hypoxi therapy was developed. It's a treatment designed to eliminate cellulite, firm up the skin and take off inches in areas fat tends to linger.

This workout will benefit all body types, as it can easily be added to a high intensity exercise routine. It can also be your main method of exercising. All it takes is 30 minutes in a Hypoxi Trainer where the compression and pressure help increase blood flow to higher fat deposit areas found on the body. For most people, this problem usually focuses itself in the middle section of the body. The reason is blood flow doesn't move as fast in the areas of the hips or buttocks.

The moderate workout is easily done and is tailored for each individual who tries it. The pressure is formulated so maximum results take place. This means the machine alternates between low and high pressure, which stimulates blood flow and activates the tissues. This is hard to do with other workouts because you either can't accomplish the same results in thirty minutes or it won't reach the troublesome areas all at once.

The problem with using a Hypoxi Trainer is it can be hard to find in some areas of the world, especially if you live in a rural area. It's not a machine that can be purchased and stuck in the back bedroom. However, if there's a studio in town and you're in need of losing weight, this is a workout you need to try.

Dumbbell Weight Loss Workout at Home

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

You do not need to run on a tread mil or lift weight for hours per week in order to lose belly fat. You can easily get a great workout in the comfort of your own home using just a pair of dumbbells. The key is to use unique and difficult exercises and combine them with high intensity techniques.

Training at home is one of the best decisions I've made when it comes to improving my health and fitness. Not only do I save a ton of money on a gym membership and expensive equipment, I can train my entire body within a very short period of time.

I've lost fat with dumbbells using high intensity techniques to boost my metabolic rate. Your metabolic rate is a measure of how fast your body burns calories. The faster your metabolic rate, the more calories you're burn. The more calories you burn, the more fat you will lose.

But don't just start off with any dumbbell routine. You need to make sure that your workouts are fun and challenging. This is a huge mistake I made. Without a steady progression plan, your workouts will start to become stale and boring. Hence, you should always know what you'll be doing to make your workouts even more challenging.

This is because if your workouts are boring, you will not stick to it. And if you don't stick to a workout, you will not get results from it. As mentioned earlier, one of the best ways to make your workouts more challenging is to use high intensity techniques such as circuit and interval training.

Lose Body Weight Fast by Rebounding

,
Workout Routines To Lose Weight :

If you want or need to lose body weight fast, you don't have to use a crash diet to achieve this. What you can do is change your exercise program. You also don't have to exercise numerous hours throughout the day to achieve fast weight loss. You just need the right type of exercise.

This is why rebounding has become so popular recently. A rebound workout is done on an indoor trampoline, and if you doubt that this is real exercise, think again. Instructors exist, and there are certification programs for those instructors. It has been scientifically proven that high impact aerobics burn the most calories of all exercises, and rebounding is considered high impact aerobics, but without the actual impact, since the trampoline absorbs that impact.

Most people find that rebounding is actually very fun - and very easy. You will most likely be less sore than if you did regular aerobics, and you will burn up to 800 calories each hour - which is huge. Rebounding does not have the same wear and tear affect that other types of exercise have, and it is really meant for burning calories, instead of body sculpting, although you may find that you do see an improvement in the tone of your muscles as well, depending on the type of rebounding routine that you are using.

If you want to lose body weight fast by rebounding, make sure that you purchase a high quality indoor trampoline that won't break or fall apart, and choose a high quality rebounding video to help you get started. Also note that you can wear wrist and ankle weights while rebounding, for even more benefits.
