The one method of losing weight that I think is highly effective is exercising. This method not only helps you lose weight, but it can also build you muscle mass making you look a lot better. In this article I will give you 3 tips on how to create your own weight loss exercises.
Tip 1 - Work the whole body
When exercising you want to work the whole body, not just the arms, legs or stomach. You want to work the whole body as it increases the chances of you losing more weight and building more muscle weight. Some good exercises for the whole body are chin ups, press-ups, sit-ups, crunches, squats and wall sits. These are body weight exercises which can be effective when trying to lose weight or gain muscle mass.
Tip 2 - Know Your Limits
Many people have fallen into the trap of trying to do more exercise than they can actually do. This can lead to damaged muscle fibres or pulling a muscle. When exercising you want to do as many of one exercise as you think you can do and the half it and then put it into sets. By putting the exercise into sets you reduce risk of injury and you also work the body more through this process.
Tip 3 - Keep It Intense
In other words keep moving. Once you have finished an exercise move onto the next one, if you stop your metabolism starts to slow down which means your body is burning less calories. You want to move onto the next exercise as quick as possible to keep your metabolism high and to keep your body working. If you have to stop to take water then do it because water keeps you metabolism high but don't sit down, while drinking water stretch out to keep your body limber and to loosen your joints up.
There you have it. 3 Tips on creating a weight loss exercise. As long as you follow these guidelines you will reduce the risk of injury and increase the chance of losing weight. Remember to drink water during exercise to keep you hydrated, increase metabolism and to make your muscle more defined (drinking water makes your muscle tone clearer)
