16 Ways to Lose Weight Fast
16 Ways to Lose Weight Fast
There are many things you can do to help you lose weight
fast. Usually, all the things you see that you need to do to
lose weight end up interfering with your daily routine, which
is already full. So, here are 16 ways to lose weight fast you
can use on your day to day:
#1: Use the time you already have to workout:
Are you one of those people who drive to go to work? Why
don't you try to walk? Better yet, you can do it running.
Obviously, it depends on the distance but you're taking the
time you usually already spend driving. If you can use that
same time to do some workout, the better.
#2: Join a few friends:
Do you feel a bit lazy when it's time to go to the gym? Just
ask the people at your office if they are willing to go with
you. Make the appointment as if it was a regular meeting at
work, and go to the gym. You'll not only be exercising, but
you'll also need to show others you are doing it, and this
will give you the extra push.
#3: Take your kids with you:
There are many workout activities that allow you to bring
your kids. There are even classes for both that will help you
lose weight. Besides, you're not only passing quality time
with them as you're teaching them that exercise is a good
thing.
#4: Make your husband join you:
In order to don't make up any excuses, make your husband join
you to lose weight. You'll be able to push up each other and
it will be beneficial for both.
#5: Schedule workouts in advance:
If you schedule your workouts in advance, you won't have any
excuses to miss it. You will have time to plan everything out
so you can go to the gym and lose weight.
#6: Raise the stakes:
Just make a healthy bet with the person who is joining you to
lose weight. This will help you both be motivated to lose
those pounds.
#7: Have someone to call you out:
This person can be your husband, your kids, or even your
parents. They should know the time at which you do your
workout and they should push you to do it. This will be
another incentive that will make you continue to workout,
even when you're not that motivated.
#8: Use mobile apps:
There are many mobile apps that can help you with your
workouts. From tracking your steps, to keep track of the time
of some exercise you do, you can find it all.
#9: Don't forget the scale:
It's always important to keep measuring your efforts so you
can fine-tune your workouts. The scale doesn't lie and you
shouldn't lie about your weight also. Make sure you have
someone checking your weight, week after week.
#10: Make a date active:
Friday nights are great for a date. But instead of doing
regular stuff, try to be more active. Plan something
different that make you move a bit.
#11: Play active games:
Pick up a game that makes you move like Zumba on the Wii.
Take the time to exercise and have fun. You can also play
with your kids. They will love it.
#12: Add tiny things:
Try to move every time you can. You can pretend you're
dancing while you're washing the dishes, or jumping jacks
during TV commercials.
#14: Eat your veggies:
Even if you're not the biggest fan of veggies, there are ways
you can eat them. Just try to add a pile of vegetables to a
pizza. You will be full and you'll be eating better.
#15: Practice yoga:
Yoga is not only a great way to exercise all your muscles as
it's also a great way to create discipline. It will teach you
to listen to your body and this will affect the food you eat.
#16: You don't have to avoid deserts:
As long as you eat healthy during the day, you should have
enough calories that allow you to eat a cookie or a piece of
chocolate.
