Want to lose weight by summer but don't want to splurge on gym membership? There are several weight loss options that are great.
Instructions
Step 1
Come up with motivation. Maybe you have a vacation planned for the summer or an important event where you will have to show off your figure? Or do you want to lose weight for yourself or your significant other? Decide exactly why you need to lose weight by the summer, so that later on you constantly remind yourself of this.
Step 2
Choose your clothes. Sportswear is also required for home activities, and comfortable shoes for walking. Look at your wardrobe and choose those things that do not hinder movement and do not cause discomfort.
Step 3
Choose a workout location and plan your daily exercise routine. The loads should be regular, so it is better that classes are carried out every day. You can warm up and put your body in order at home, in the park, on the beach - in short, wherever there is enough space. So, for example, in the morning at home you can do abdominal exercises, then take a towel, go to the park and go on to complex exercises there. You can see techniques for classes on the Internet, in books from the library, or ask friends.
Step 4
Avoid traveling by car or public transport. Hiking has a beneficial effect not only on the musculoskeletal system, but also on the cardiovascular system. In addition, walking, you breathe air, and most importantly, you waste extra calories. Walking and hiking should be given sufficient time to help you achieve your goal. At least two hours a day, or better, more.
Step 5
Adjust your diet. Avoid overeating. It is not necessary to give up your favorite food, but you can easily calculate the amount of calories you need for each day and, taking this into account, form a meal schedule. Nutritionists recommend eating more often, but in small portions, using as many different foods as possible in your meal.
Step 6
Do small warm-ups throughout the day. When at work or sitting for a long time, always make time to be active. At least 10 minutes per hour, try to warm up, walk, or even exercise. This measure helps to constantly maintain an active metabolism in the body, which will allow you to lose weight faster.
Step 7
Increase the volume of your workouts constantly. This should be done gradually, listening to the reaction of the body. So, you can daily increase the number and duration of exercises, lengthen walks and route to work, as well as warm-up time during the day.
Step 8
Work on a variety of activities. Fitness, yoga, aerobics, dancing - all this is available to a person not only in the gym, but also wherever time and place permits. You yourself can choose those activities that you like and do them regularly. The more responsible you take action, the sooner you will achieve your goal.
