Everyone would like to lose weight, but some don't have the time to go on special diets or go to the gym. This article discusses simple exercises that will only take you 10 minutes and will make you notice the differences. You won't necessarily need to do all of them and you can do them in any order.
Steps
Step 1. Walk and run up the stairs
Scales help tremendously in weight loss. They burn calories, reduce body fat and help strengthen leg muscles. Warm up by walking up and down. Increase your speed as much as possible and run when going downhill. Repeat up and down 10 times. Do three sets of 10. For safety reasons, use the railing and always check for people coming.
Step 2. Jump rope
Jumping rope is a great way to lose weight. Jump as fast as you can for a minute. Rest and repeat. In all, jump for five minutes.
Step 3. Do weight training
Body Building is a good way to lose weight because muscles are the only tissues in the body that burn calories even at rest. Use weights to train the muscles in your arms, legs, hips, and back.
Step 4. Do squats
Squats strengthen the leg muscles and are of great help in weight loss. Start standing, lower yourself down with your thighs parallel to the floor and your back straight. Look ahead of you. Straighten your legs and stand up. Repeat.
Step 5. Make wheels
Wheels are another way to lose weight because they burn calories and strengthen arms, legs and abdominal muscles. This exercise requires practice and skill. If you find it difficult, move on to other exercises. Note: To be balanced, make sure you do an equal number of wheels on both the right and left.
Step 6. Walk
Is simple. Every time you walk, take long steps and swing your arms. This way you will engage your leg muscles more and burn more calories. Walking is as effective as running; start with a walk and increase your speed.
Advice
- Don't be discouraged.
- Improve your diet. Constant exercises, if not accompanied by a healthy and balanced diet, will not be effective.
- Remember to train every other day, for at least half an hour. However, if you've recently had a sedentary lifestyle, start with 10-minute sessions.
- When you decide to reach a goal, never lose sight of it.
