In a recent survey, 87% of people in the UK reported that they feel like they don't have time to lose weight and can't fit regular exercise into their busy lifestyles. Today we are going to be looking at this and revealing the simple rules which will teach you how to lose weight without dedicating your entire life to the gym.
One of the biggest misconceptions with fitness is that it's supposed to take over your life. It is most certainly not.
Believe it or not, your diet plays just as important a role as working out and you will be amazed at how much progress a few small changes to you diet will make. This works particularly well for those who have not led a very healthy lifestyle in the past or those who have never really known what to eat before. The list below details the most important factors.
* Ignore hyped up diets, often endorsed by celebrities, offering instant and effortless results. They're nothing but marketing gimmicks designed to take your money. Notice the same celebrities in six months time back out of shape, before releasing yet another workout dvd the following festive period. It's a career for them, and it promotes unhealthy yo-yo dieting.
* You need to provide your body with adequate protein if you are lowering your carbohydrate intake.
* Work at a slight calorie deficit and you will lose weight, it's that simple.
* Taking a day off from your diet every week or two is a great motivational tool.
* Protein makes a fantastic snack food.
Once you have the basics laid down you'll notice you begin to notice fat dropping off and, you guessed it, you haven't even walked through the doors of your local gym yet. When it comes to working out there is a ridiculous perception that you must spend two hours per day or, if you are female, that you need to do endless cardiovascular exercise after work every night. It's not true.
How long do you have during the day for a potential workout? Even if it's as little as fifteen minutes the fact is you can do something. Don't make excuses or you won't make progress.
The key to fat loss is keeping your heart rate elevated. Short bursts of intensity followed by moderate recovery periods work fantastically well at doing this for you. Any situation and environment can be used as a makeshift gym. If you have a floor, you can do a workout. If you have a chair, you can do a workout!
Most people underestimate the effectiveness of performing true strength exercises like push ups, lunges and squats. We seem to believe wed be better off sat comfortably in some shiny machine when the opposite is true. Go back to basics, you'll be shocked at the results you achieve from basic body weight circuits performed in ten-to-twenty minute sessions each day.
In any gym around the world these days you can hear people talking about the reasons they haven't achieved the body they want. They often say things like they don't have time to workout regularly, can't follow a diet or don't understand how to lose weight. The truth is they are often making excuses. If that's currently you, then today's post will help you to break free from that mentality and enjoy some positive change in your life!
