First of all you need to accept the fact that
having a beautiful well toned body takes work just like anything else in life. If you want a good marriage you need to work at it, a successful business, need to work at it, a beautiful home and landscape, yes it all takes work and commitment. There is no magic pill that does the job.
You may have seen advertisements for cardio machines that claim to
burn over 1,000 calories in an hour. It is partly true that you could but the catch is that you would need to have the machine set at its highest level and if you are a beginner this would wilt you in only a matter of a few seconds !
Exercise equipment is great, but it will take you some time to build up endurance.
There is a sensible and effective way to tackle the calorie burning : First you should choose an activity that you can sustain for about 15 minutes without pain anywhere in the body and without totally exhausting you.
The best workout for weight loss ? Many people choose to run because it does burn more calories than walking but running is not for everyone.
The number of calories you burn depends on a few things such as how hard you workout, your weight, your body metabolism and muscle mass. Beginners burn around 300 calories per hour but as you increase your fitness level, you will start burning more, up to 800 calories per hour !
If you are trying to lose weight you should do at least 6 workouts a week and spend 45 minutes max for the pounds to come off. Mix some strength training in every other day. That will help you build muscle, and that's when you'll really start to see your workouts pay off.
If you can't run,
walking is a great weight loss workout that is considered light aerobic but still offers all the great benefits of good health and weight loss.
The main thing is to get started on a
weight loss workout today!
