Right Exercise Weight Loss
Right Exercise Weight Loss,Once you have made a commitment to exercise more often, choose a time of day that is most convenient for you. Try to stick to this time as much as you can, as it is easier to form a habit if you are consistent than if you change your exercise time to suit your fancy.
Even the best exercises for weight loss are not enough on
their own. Following are some tips on how to choosing the right form of
exercise, fitting exercise into your schedule and exercising safely.
Choosing the Right Form of Exercise
As was noted above, some forms of exercise are not suitable
for those who are not in the habit of working out regularly. If you have not
exercised in some time, then you need to not only choose a safe workout option
but also start slow.
woman exercising Spend just 20 minutes a day, three times a
week, on your chosen form of exercise. As your body gets more accustomed to
working out, you can lengthen the amount of time you spend exercising and/or
choose other exercise options that are more challenging for you.
In some cases, you may want to consult a doctor before
starting a new exercise regimen. Doing so is particularly important if you have
recently suffered a sports injury and/or have chronic neck and lower back
pains. Pregnant women should note that biking and cross training are not
suitable exercise options.
Most women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy
and/or are quite overweight usually find swimming to be the best option, as the
water supports your weight and helps to alleviate the aches and pains that are
an inherent part of pregnancy.
Making Exercise a Part of Your Daily Schedule
You will never find time to exercise. Instead, you have to
make time to exercise. Choose a time in your schedule that is realistic for you
and stick to it.
It is also a good idea to make sure your chosen form of
exercise is realistic. For instance, if you do not live next to a gym, then do
not try to commit to going to the gym every day. You should also consider the
weather and make sure you have a back-up plan in case of inclement weather.
Safety Concerns
While exercise is an imperative part of weight loss, you
will still want to make sure you are going about it in a safe manner. If you
are not familiar with riding your bike down a busy street, travel with someone
who is and who can help you learn street-smart skills. You will also want to
invest in a helmet and hand and knee pads to prevent injury.
It is also important to pay attention to your body as you
work out. Contrary to what some exercise experts will tell you, “going for the
burn” is never a good idea. If your body starts hurting as you work out, stop.
Give yourself time to rest, get a drink of water and then start again. If you
still feel pain, then switch to a different type of workout and/or talk to your
doctor. Remember, if you hurt yourself working out, you will not be able to
exercise for an extended period of time.
In Summary
Exercising is known to be one of the most effective ways of
losing weight. What is more, regular exercise also reduces stress, boosts your
immune system and enables you to get a good night’s sleep.
Finally, pay attention to your body’s needs as you work out.
If you feel pain and discomfort, you may need to either go slower or try out a
different type of exercise. Conversely, as you get in the habit of working out,
vary you workout routine to make it more challenging and thus more effective.
As you are consistent in your efforts, you will see the good results you are
after and look and feel better than ever before.
