For a long time, people were used to putting themselves in synthetic fiber tights and jumping around, sweating profusely and panting heavily after a 45-minute workout. But now, fitness experts recommend easier aerobic exercises for weight loss, such as daily walks or even gardening. These are not only gentler and easier to stick to, but they also usually have more effective results.
For example, if you choose to do only two 10-15 minute brisk walks a day without doing any other special exercises, your bra size will decrease by 1-2 sizes within a year without dieting.
Recent research shows that new types of aerobic exercise are particularly effective at reducing abdominal fat and can significantly reduce waist circumference. In addition, these new types of aerobic exercise burn just as many calories as more intense exercises. The more calories the body burns, the lower the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, depression, and even certain cancers.
1. Do what you love
When choosing a new type of aerobic exercise, the most important step is to do something you enjoy. The principle is simple: if you enjoy doing something, you won't get bored even if you do it several times a week; but if it's something you don't like, you'll quickly feel bored and weary, until you eventually give up. Therefore, we should choose exercise programs that are enjoyable and convenient to implement in daily life.
2. Change the variety to overcome boredom.
A good way to overcome boredom is to vary your workout routine. Create a workout plan that incorporates many elements, such as different locations, multiple workout partners, and different music. Many gyms, training classes, and clubs now have instructors combining fast-paced music, new exercises, and physical training. This combination is more engaging than traditional aerobic exercise, keeping the body in a calorie-burning state for an extended period without feeling bored, and resulting in more noticeable effects.
3. Warm up for 5 minutes in advance
A 5-minute warm-up can help you burn more calories and prevent injuries. Before you begin your activities, simple stretches, movements of the neck, wrists, and ankles, and gentle bouncing can raise your core body temperature; awaken your muscles and allow them to fully stretch; promote blood circulation, accelerate metabolism, and make it harder for muscles to secrete lactic acid, which causes fatigue; at the same time, it can also help burn glucose and fatty acids in your body.
