You can’t out-exercise a bad diet. Nutrition is 80% of the equation, make sure you are tracking what you eat and drink.
On Sunday evening, take a minute to block out on your calendar 30 minutes for exercise at least three times during the coming week. Put it into your Outlook or another scheduling program as if it were an important business meeting, and you’ll be less likely to skip it.
Don’t eat carbohydrates for at least an hour after exercise. This will force your body to break down and burn body fat, instead of using the food you are eating now. Stick to fruit and fluids during that hour, but avoid carbs.
Alternate the intensity of your workout. This will rev up your metabolism and prevent burnout or boredom. This will also give your body a jolt, improve your fitness more quickly and help you lose weight faster.
Turn grocery shopping into an exercise session. At the grocery store, park your cart at one end of the aisle, then walk up and down the aisle to select items.
If you find it difficult to find 30 – 60 minutes to work out exercise in 10 minute sessions, you will find it much easier to fit this into your day and you will still get results.
Sometimes getting yourself to work out can be an uphill battle. But even gym-free days don’t have to be a total loss if you learn how to fit in exercise by improving your posture or changing up your routine.
Move your workout outdoors in cooler weather. You burn more calories walking outside when it’s below 50°F.
