Keeping to a healthy weight can be a challenge but by implementing these five tips you will succeed.
Be realistic
Do not knock yourself out it is counter productive, you do not need to spend hours a day in the gym in fact just 30-40 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week will contribute to achieving and maintaining a healthy weight.
If 40 minutes is too long the split it up into a few sessions throughout the day. The key to your success is to build regular exercise into your everyday life.
Aerobic exercise
Every brisk physical activity that requires the heart and lungs to work harder counts as aerobic exercise. Running, swimming, tennis, cycling, gardening, and even briskly running the Hoover around the house, all count.
Regular aerobic exercise increases your metabolic rate which means that even when you are not exercising, your body uses more calories overall, which in turn will help you achieve your weight loss.
You must enjoy the exercise
Different types of exercise suit different types of personality. Some people prefer the gym or competitive sports such as football, rugby, netball and tennis whilst others find that they prefer to join in group activities such as running clubs or aerobics.
Stick to something you enjoy otherwise you will get bored and lose motivation and interest.
Record your progress
Set targets and keep a record of your progress you will be inspired when you see how your times improve and with your weight loss. Continually set new targets as you progress.
Involve your friends and work colleagues
You may find it difficult to progress on your own and find that in company and with the support of others targets are more easily achievable. So persuade friends and work colleagues to join you the time goes quicker sharing a laugh and joke together.
Believe, work hard and you will succeed.
