Body Weight Exercises – The Long Hidden Secret to Rapid Weight Loss?
Posted by Stephanie Wilkinsen under weight lossNo Comments
Most people today are overweight, or just plain fat. That is pretty much a given in our modern, automatic, fast food society. And even though most people realize they are overweight, and would like to do something about it, very few ever take concrete steps in that direction. Because you are reading this, you are one of the few that has made a commitment to improve yourself.
Any weight loss plan consists of two parts. Diet, and exercise. There are as many different kinds of diet plans as there are people, as each person is different when it comes to their own preferences. In this article I will be focusing on few simple exercises that get you on the fast track to weight loss and lifelong health.
When most people think of doing any kind of exercise, they imagine spending hours every day at a gym, or giving up precious family time to run five miles every night. The good news is that this is absolutely not necessary to get in fantastic shape. Of course, there are plenty of good reasons to go to the gym every night, as there are to go for a run every morning or evening. Just realize that these are not requirements on your quest to lose weight.
What is likely the biggest mistake in peoples thinking is that weight loss only happens during exercise. It’s no wonder so many cardio machines at the gym have “calories burned” displays, as if as soon as you step off the stationary bike, you stop burning calories. The real secret is that those that burn the most weight have the highest metabolisms. And you can easily boost your metabolism through the right kinds of exercise, so you’ll be burning fat while watching TV.
What are the right metabolism boosting exercises? Resistance training that targets the large muscles. The best way to do these is with high repetitions, and low resistance. Shoot for 20 or 30 repetitions with whatever weight you can handle. And the best way to do this is through body weight exercises. Push ups, sit ups, any form of yoga.
Most people that start a program like this notice results relatively quickly. They are surprised how quickly they can see results in the mirror, as well as skyrocketing energy and self-esteem. The sooner you get started, the sooner you’ll see results.
