Excercises to lose weight
Exercise is one of the key ingredients to any successful diet. Not only will exercise help you lose weight, but it is the first step in changing your lifestyle so that you can keep the weight off and begin to be healthier. However, how do you know which are the best exercises to lose weight? Well, I’ve compiled a list of some of the best exercises that really help you to burn a lot of calories, fast.
Exercise DVD’s:
If you don’t have a gym membership, and it’s snowing, raining, or just plain miserable outside, you never have an excuse not to exercise if you pop in an exercise DVD. Some of these can help you burn between 300-500 calories per hour. The trick to finding a good exercise DVD is to pick one that is high energy and try doing it once a day. Don’t get discouraged if you can’t keep up with all the moves the first couple of times. You’ll get the hang of it and start burning calories in no time!
Walking:
So high impact aerobics aren’t your thing, for one reason or another. Well, walking is an exercise that almost anyone can do. Now I’m not talking about a slow, leisurely walk where you stop to smell the roses. While these walks are nice and relaxing, if you are trying to burn calories, you need to take a brisk walk and aim to walk across or up hills. You can burn up to 360 calories per hour if you do this.
Swimming:
Swimming is another great exercise for almost anyone. It is very low impact and gentle on your joints. Swimming also tones nearly every muscle in your body all at once, so it’s a great workout! Do lengths down the pool, and you can burn up to 800 calories per hour.
