Weight Loss Workouts

Modifying your diet and eating healthier are all said and good, but to experience credible weight loss in a week you need to incorporate a strong exercise regime that will workout your entire body.

Now in the modern age this is easier said than done. Swamped with long working hours, hectic family lifestyles and a to-do list longer than your arm, finding the time to effectively exercise can feel like an uphill struggle.

However, there are a number of weight loss exercises you can do that will not only support your 2 week weight loss or week by week weight loss plan, but can easily be incorporated into your day to day routine.

The biggest mistake you can make when trying to follow a fitness weight loss plan is to focus on just 1 workout routine. The most effective weight loss week workouts incorporate a variety of different exercises to ensure your body receives a full body workout

We recommend that you try a combination of any of the following:

• Strength Training
  5 minute warm-up, 5 minute cardio, 10 minutes weight training, 5 minute cardio, 10 minute weight training, 5 minute cool down
• Aerobics
  there are a variety you can try, though the best aerobic sessions focus on more than your stomach, but on your bum, thighs and arms too
• Cardio
  this is much more extensive than traditional aerobic workouts. Alternating between 10 minute intensive workouts to 5 minute cool downs, these rapid changes in speed can do wonders to your metabolism and fat burn

One of the easiest ways to exercise your body and lose weight in a week is to go for a walk. Recent research suggests extending your walking patterns from 30 minutes to 45 minutes can increase your calorie burn by 60 calories a day.

And it doesn't have to take a lot of effort either. Simply go for a walk on your lunch break and try incorporating the following:

• Pump your arms - pretend you are lifting weights whilst you walk
• Walk faster with shorter strides i.e. power walking
• Don't slouch when you are walking, stand up straight
• Alternate between walking quickly for 5 minutes and slowly for 5 minutes, until you have built up the stamina to walk fast the entire 45 minutes
• Drink plenty of water before, during and after walking
• Attach angle and wrist weights - make your walk harder by attaching these weights to your body. The more weight you carry, the more calories you will burn

Exercise can do wonders for your week weight loss plan, but if you are looking to support your weight loss even further, you can easily try any one of the following tips and incorporate it into your regime.

• Calculate you body mass index (BMI) or simply take your weight before starting your weight loss program. Every 4 weeks, step on the scales and keep a track of your weight loss.
• Exercise and weight loss programs can be helped by maintaining a health diary or a chart. Simply mark the time you dedicate to your weight loss week workout in your diary/chart and ensure that you don't schedule your appointments during your workout.
• Plan your meals for the week ahead. By planning ahead and buying in the appropriate foods you can avoid the temptation of fatty foods and ensure your body is receiving the best nutrients to optimise your workout.
• Inform your family and friends that you are on a rapid weight loss exercise and diet regime so that they can motivate you. Inspiration is very important in fitness weight loss exercises.
• Set a fixed target in your week weight loss plan. A 15 day plan is always beneficial. At the end of the given time, reward yourself for accomplishing your goal.
