1. One of the best ways to promote weight loss is by becoming active and exercising for at least 30 minutes per day. Brisk walking, jogging, biking, or using indoor machines such as elliptical bikes are excellent ways to burn off excess calories. Adding some weight training to your exercise routine is also highly recommended, since increasing muscle mass helps to increase our metabolism, which allows us to burn more calories while we are at rest.
Regular exercise also helps to reduce stress and depression, which are both common causes of weight gain.
Note: if you have not exercised regularly for a while, it is best to consult your doctor before beginning a new training program.
2. Exercise is probably the most important key to increasing your metabolism and burning off excess fat. Research shows that you burn more stored fat for energy when you do aerobic exercises on an empty stomach than on a full stomach. Research also shows that you burn more stored fat when you exercise late in the day rather than in the morning. Put together, the best time to exercise to lose weight by burning your stored fat is in the late afternoon/early evening before dinner. Second best is in the morning before breakfast. Our metabolism naturally starts to slow down about 8 hours after we wake up. Thirty minutes of aerobic exercises in the evening, before dinner, will not only burn off stored fat but it increases your metabolism for about two to three more hours just when it was starting to slow down. This produces a significant increase in fat burned off, even after the exercise is over.
3. Focus elsewhere while exercise. When you workout make sure you have your iPOD or are listening to music. Divert your focus elsewhere. If you focus on your own body while working out, it will make the work out really boring.
4. Walk a lot. Try walking distances, if you want to go somewhere, try leaving the car home and walk, it makes a difference and helps in the process of weight loss.
5. There is no way to force weight to come off your stomach (or any other worrisome spots). The good news is cardio exercise is great for peeling off the pounds all over, whether your trouble spot is your tummy or your thighs!
6. Workout in patterns. People cannot workout for 2 hours straight everyday. It is suggested that you workout in sets every four or five days max a week.
7. Don't overdo yourself working out. Start off doing as much as you can, then slowly increase the work out.If you can do only 10 reps of an exercise, do only 10 and then slowly increase. You can't lose weight overnight.
8. If you walk a lot take things up a notch, try walking faster, jogging or even adding ankle weights.
9. There comes a time when diet and exercise stops helping lose weight, in that case increase physical activity. Not only will that add muscle, but also help in fat burning.
10. Let there be at least a three hour gap between your sleep and workout.
11. Make sure the exercises your doing are not only popular, but you enjoy doing them as well.
12. You can take some sort of strength training, provided the doctor gives the OK. Being stronger will help you lose weight sooner.
13. Your weight will fluctuate from day to day. Resist the urge to weigh yourself on a daily basis, as doing so will discourage you. Weigh in the same time and day once a week.
14. Building muscle through strength training brings many benefits, including: increased endurance; flexibility; reduced risk for injury; increased energy; and boosted metabolism.
Regular exercise also helps to reduce stress and depression, which are both common causes of weight gain.
