Exercises for weight loss

Losing weight requires that you think about the food you are eating but it is also important that you do some extra exercise.

But you don't have to buy a membership to a gym. Think about this: if you eat what you are eating now and you do more exercise, you will lose some weight. I know, it will be pretty slow but you will be burning more calories than you were last week so you will lose weight.

So let's think about simple things you can do to exercise more without paying expensive fees for a gym.

1.Go for a walk: Walking for 30 minutes every day will burn of calories and increase the strength of your heart and your legs. You can start this slowly and work up your speed gradually to burn up more calories.
2.Climb the stairs more often. Simply by going upstairs in your house more than once a day (when you go to bed), find reasons to go up more often. Losing weight can be a good reason. Walk up first then start moving faster. Similarly in stores or at work, use the stairs not the lift.
3.Cycle more: You could use your cycle more often but I'm talking here about those mini cycles you can use whilst your sat down ñ in your office, watching TV or when you're on the computer.
4.Dance: Again I don't mean going out for dancing lessons ñ although that would be good exercise if you want to learn to dance, I mean in your home. If you're standing up and washing up or peeling vegetables (eating them is also very good for losing weight) move your feet a bit more or dance to some music. Any extra movement of the body will increase the calorie burn-up.
5.People who spend a lot of time sitting down burn only two thirds of the calories that active people do. So find every opportunity to move more. Twiddle your thumbs. Shake your leg whilst watching TV. Get up during the adverts and walk about the house for three minutes. Tap your feet if you're at your desk. These mini exercises will help keep your muscles and joints loose and will increase your body's metabolism and burn the calories faster.

You can see that it doesn't have to be costly to undertake more exercise and you can do very small exercises you had probably never thought of before to help in your weight loss.
