Weight Loss Top Tips

Following on from my previous article here “Walk the Dogs!”, where I outlined the pleasurable pastime of walking your dogs to get the exercise you need to lose some weight, there are of course many more weight loss tips that are very useful and yet easy to do. Here I’ll be looking at some really easy and simple-to-do ways to lose weight in the home as part of a healthy lifestyle.

Well, the first thing you have to do if you want to even begin to stand any chance at all of losing weight is to get in the right frame of mind. This is something I may well have to repeat many times throughout these articles because it is such an important part of weight loss.

Where the mind leads, the body will follow!

So get it into your head that you are going to get the body shape and ideal weight that you desire. And make it a real desire. Not the kind of desire like you might have for something out of your reach, but a real desire that you may harbour for a certain possession or a vacation or a new car. A deep rooted, almost carnal desire for a healthy looking and feeling body – yours!

Once that is in place – and I mean really in place like you really mean to get what you want, then you’ll find it so much easier to do the things you need to do to achieve that desire.

So with a head full of desire, get up off the sofa, or get out of that chair, switch off the TV or computer, or games console or whatever it is that is sapping your life away and get your body into the same rhythm as your mind!

Simple exercise weight loss tips that you can do around the house:

Don’t lumber up and down the stairs – run! Yep, by stepping up your pace as you charge up and down stairs is a well known aerobic exercise that raises your heart rate fast and gets you out of breath. Just the thing to get you into the swing of things!

Then do some housework! OMG!!! Did he just say that?

Yep, this includes the blokes! Pick up that broom and go sweep something and do it like you mean it! Grab that vacuum cleaner and get vacuuming and do it with enthusiasm! You’ll be toning up your muscles while you do it! Grab a cloth and clean out the bath and shower. Clean up the tiles on the bathroom and kitchen walls! It all makes you move your body and use muscles that you don’t normally use.

The whole point?

Getting your muscles moving and the more muscles groups you get toned the better because as you add muscle tone, those muscles require more energy to function, meaning every time you use them a lot, they will burn off more of that stored up fat!

I’ll leave you with that thought…

Hang on – don’t just sit down again and think about it – DO IT!
