It is the quality of exercise, and not the quantity (duration) that yields perceptible change. Today, our lives are more hectic than ever. Making time for exercise can be difficult, if not impossible. There is good news. A mere 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough for fitness gains, as long as you are regular. This means that you do not have to spend hours sweating for great results.
1) Do exercises that use multiple muscles, called compound exercises. Consult your gym instructor/ look online for a suitable program. For example, a squat uses the front and back of your legs as well as your butt. After each squat, add an overhead shoulder press using a light dumbbell and you will hit even more muscles. 'Isolated' exercises such as biceps curls and triceps extensions are less effective.
3) Increase the intensity of the cardiovascular workout. This increases the calorie burning effect and cuts the time. If you walk, then jog. If you run, then try the occasional sprint. An incline on a treadmill works well too. Instead of doing forty minutes of walking, jogging or low impact aerobics go on a bike or treadmill at a high intensity for twenty minutes. If you have been working out regularly for at least a month, you could try doing intervals.
5) Double up your exercises. Rather than resting between sets, use that time to work a different muscle group. For example, alternate one set of biceps curls with one set of triceps dips. Alternatively, do a set of seated leg extensions with a set of leg curls. These are super-sets and they nearly double the number of exercises you can do in a short time.
7) Squeeze in short bursts of exercise during the day - Before your morning shower and breakfast, or during your lunch hour, squeeze in two sets of ten of the following bare-essential moves: crunches, pull-ups, push-ups, squats and lunges. These calisthenics target and tone most areas of the body but do not take more than a few minutes to do. Short bursts of exercise add up. If you can accumulate 30 minutes of physical activity in a day in short bursts, you will get the same benefits you would if you did it all in one session.
Super Fast Weight Loss
The diet industry portrays that diets and weight loss programs are a breese, easy as pie, just eat our lovely (and expensive) products and spend lots of money and time, and you will be as skinny as the thinner models who advertise our products yet have never used them.
Yet in spite of this, the most majority of people see and feel dieting as a struggle (struggling to lose weight), a battle (battling to lose weight), a fight (fighting to lose weight) and generally a hardship.
Easy weight loss is entirely possible if you adopt the right mental attitude. Weight loss is all about having high motivation, and what is motivation except the reasons to lose weight.
So, what are your reasons for losing weight?
Do you want to be thinner because your friends are? Do you want to be skinner because you feel people will like you more? Or you'll like yourself more? Do you want to be thinner for health reasons?
There are several potencial reasons for losing weight, and if your reasons are powerful and motivating enough there is nothing else you can do except lose weight easily. Just what are your personal reasons and porpuses for losing weight? Have a think about them now and decide if they are motivating enough.
You're now probably wondering what on earth this right mental attitude for easy weight loss is, so let me tell you now exactly what it is.
Number 1 : Believe that you can succeed. You would be shocked to find how many people do not believe they can successfully diet and attain (and maintain) their desired target weight. Believe you can succeed, and believe it strongly - your beliefs create the world around you and whether you believe you can or can't, you're right.
Number 2 : Be realistic. It's lovely for us all to have those pleasant day dreams, but be realistic. Don't think you can magically lose a hundred pounds in a week ... it's not physically possible, and losing too much weight too quickly is bad for your health. Be realistic about what you are aiming for and when you will do it.
Number 3 : Believe that you are a thinner person. People will have their identity tied up with their weight, and people will do almost anything to protect their identity, even kill. Is your identity one of a struggling dieter? Or an overweight person? Or a fat slob? What is your identity with relation to your weight? If it is negative and involves you being anywhere other than your target weight, then you need to change it!
Number 4 : Believe that you can be a thinner person. If you are caught up in self loathing and really dislike yourself you may not think you are worth losing weight and being at your ideal weight. You will find yourself struggling and sabotaging your efforts, so believe you are worthy of this success.
Number 5 : Now this is the one that eludes all but the most successful dieters. Take REGULAR and CONSISTENT action. That's all it takes. Easy weight loss comes from taking consistent action every single day both mentally and physically. Thinking you want to be thin whilst eating pizza in front of the television isn't going to work. You have to combine thought with action to create results.
So now you know how easy weight loss really is when you have the right mental attitude. Study these five keys and use them to make your weight loss easy. Search about good and quality weight loss products and nutritional supplements that can help you in your weight loss process. Take care of your health!! Its your TREASURE!!
