It is almost the New Year and there are going to be some old resolutions. Reducing some of the junk in the truck is the top of many people’s list. Losing weight is not that easy or there wouldn’t be so many companies and products dedicated to that one thing.
This year budgets are already thin so spending on weight loss products and gym memberships is going to be low.
You can get some great weight loss on a budget.
1. Take walks. You can walk around the mall, walk around the park. Just walk
Adding 15 minutes of moderate exercise, say walking one mile, to your daily schedule will use up 100 extra calories per day. (Your body uses approximately 100 calories of energy to walk one mile, depending on your body weight.) Maintaining this schedule would result in an extra 700 calories per week used up, or a loss of about 10 pounds in one year, assuming your food intake stays the same.
So you can see the more you walk to the more calories you burn. Park farther away from in the parking lots. Take the stair instead of the elevator. All these are common sense suggestions that you have heard before, but you just have to apply it.
2. Swim. There are some places that require you to use a membership to swim in their pools, but many pools run by local park and recreation all free access. You have to check with your local park and recreation department to get the specifics. If you have a pool in your home you know there is no excuse to not get moving.
3. Dance. Dancing is fun and your body is moving. Put on some music that gets you body pumping and start shaking your groove thang. You might rock out to “Elmo’s World” or the Rolling Stones, but just get going.
There are so many ways to burn calories. The point is to get moving and move as much as possible.
