1. squash, swimming..
2. If you are trying to lose weight i would suggest, doing free weights and cutting down on calories. Building up muscle means burning more calories/cutting calories means you dont have to lose them in the first place.
3. just move your head from left to right when someone asks for lunch,dinner and snacks.
4. Treadmill Cycling ( stationary ) Situps Pressups Weight lifting You are confined to very few exercises if you want to do them inside and without any machinery / weights. Just try do excersises that involve alot of energy. If you do excersises that involve sweating you are probably doing an excersise that is burning fat. Dieting is also important.
5. (m) 1. Drink Water One of the most effective diet tips is to drink plenty of water. In fact, water is possibly the single most important catalyst in losing weight and keeping it off. Water acts as a natural appetite suppressant by keeping your stomach full and fending off dehydration that leads to hunger cravings. Water also provides the additional benefit of flushing out toxins from the body and keeping it hydrated. Water also helps your body metabolize stored fat by helping the kidneys flush out waste. When you don’t drink enough water the liver that works to provide stored fat for energy also takes on the role of helping the kidneys eliminate waste and thus becomes less effective at metabolizing fat. 2. Eat Breakfast Many people believe one of the best diet tips is skipping breakfast, as it will help them lose weight, this is totally incorrect. Skipping breakfast can make you hungrier later in the day leading to distorted satiety signals (i.e. it's hard to determine when you're full). This can actually result in eating more as a result. If you don’t have time to eat breakfast or don’t like to, at least have a liquid meal to fuel your body after sleeping and having no nutrition for several hours. 3. Increase Fibre Intake Eating lots of foods rich in fibre helps keep food moving through your bowels. Just like water, fiber rich foods bulk you up and make you feel full. In fact, the average person could lose around 10 pounds a year just from doubling their fiber intake. High fiber foods are generally low in calories and fill you up, so eating more of them means you’re eating fewer calories and leaving less room for calories from other foods. Fiber also cuts calories by attaching itself to some of the other proteins and fats that you eat and eliminates them as well. The average person consumes about 8g of fiber per day, but many experts recommend 25g. Start your day with a high fiber cereal and keep eating fibre throughout the day. 4. Eat Healthy Fats Many experts claim that fat causes obesity, raises your cholesterol and causes heart disease, but this is not strictly true. If fat is all that bad, why is it part of our natural diet chain? The reason is fat can be very good for you. Fat provides the body with essential fatty acids (linoleic and linolenic acids) needed for normal reproduction and growth, as well as for production of prostaglandin, a hormone like compound that regulates blood pressure, blood clotting, and inflammation. When eating fats you should eat healthy fats. Eating “healthy” fats includes the cold-water fish, mackerel and salmon, nuts, and olive oil. By eating healthy fats over unhealthy ones you will lose weight. 5. Lean Protein Protein is a great weight control tool because of the immediate satiety factor and because it keeps you full for longer periods. It also balances out carbs by preventing insulin spikes that can lead to a drain in energy and sugar cravings. Protein also helps maintain muscle mass, which is very important in the fat burning process. At least 20% of calories should be in the form of protein.
6. Do not eat rice, pasta, deserts,burger at all and do not drink pepsi, cocakola,, mild running or even walking for half hour/day
7. Food choices are the key ingredient with diet. Make sure you are eating foods that have lower fat, higher fiber and lower calories. In order to LOSE weight, start your exercise with cardio-- I have an exercise bike that I ride for 20-30 minutes to get my to and maintaintarget heart rate (between 60-80% of 220 minus your age--- if you were 30, that would be 220-30=190, then 60 to 80% of that is: 114 to 158 beats per min range) If you don't have one, pick up an aroebic work out tape for your home tv... I get mine at thrift stores... Working with light weights and high reps is better than heavy weights and low reps-- builds tone rather than mass which burns cals well, looks better and is easier to maintain. Also standard calisthenics and stretching are important. 1. Diet 2. Cardio 3. Lift what you can (bench, curls, overhead press) 4. Calisthenics (pushups, situps, jumping jacks, leg lifts, etc) 5. DON'T forget to stretch. It helps muscles build, increases your circulation. Counters the fat buildup in areas like your torso, etc. And this makes you look better faster!
8. The way to lose weight is you must put out more than you put in. Meaning eat 3 small meals and daily regular exercise. (between 30 mins to an hour a day) Exercise doesnt have to be aerobic, it can be as simple as a brisk walk, or turn the music on at home and dance around or even get stuck into a strenuous household chore for 30 mins, a bike ride, swimming etc. Drinking a minimum of 2 litres of water a day is beneficial for both your skin, your body/organs. If flushes toxins and also stops the body from retaining water. Although there is always people for and against diets. I find High Protein/Low Carb diet easy to follow, easy to stick to and no hunger pangs. I chose it because it works well for me. There are things like qigong/tai chi which strengthen the bodys energy which you can get on dvd. Or even dvds of pilates, tai bo that you can do in the privacy and comfort of your own home. There are many things around the house you can utilize in an exercise routine. Walk up and down the back steps of your house (doing repetitions). Upturned esky and sit with back to it and use your arms to lift your weight to build up the muscles and get rid of flabby arms. Grab a couple of cans of food and use as weights etc. Put your feet/toes under the loungechair and use it to hold your weight whilst doing sit ups.
