We all want a quick fix answer, but here's the thing... there is no real quick fix when it comes to weight loss that actually stays off and I'm living proof. It has taken me literally years to work off the bulge but I'm a lot stronger person because of it. Sure, you can go on some crazy fad diet and probably drop some water weight quickly, but in order to keep it off, you have to change your life! Start a whole new routine!
If you figure out that typically I gym about 3 days a week on average, sometimes more, and I spend about an hour at the gym, plus I walk the dog several times a week, sometimes for 30 mins, sometimes for an hour or two, my average workout time is about 4 hours per week, almost every week... that means that in one year.. I will have spent about 208 hours "working out"...
Sure, that may sound like a lot... but consider this... there are 1248 hours in one year... 208 hours is NOTHING,... you do that sitting in front of the TV four days a week for an hour at a time, or shopping, or on the phone with family and friends. We all have busy lives... but.. if you take 30 mins a day... 7 days a week... that's 3.5 hours..
So, walk your dog, or take your kids on a walk, or walk with your friends or partner to meet friends for dinner or coffee or a light beer.
Play outside in the sunshine and take in some vitamin D while you're at it.
Do 30 mins of vigorous housework, vacuum, sweep, mop, dust, pull out the furniture... before you know it, 30 mins is gone.
Do something to help you get moving!
Go bowling, play putt-putt, go to the batting cages, play frisbee in the park, join a fitness class.
It's easier than it sounds... and before you know it, you'll be craving that feeling you get from being active. Whatever your fitness level is, there is something you can do.
What do YOU do to work out??
