Five ways to start losing weight today
continued from page 1
5) Find a part of your body that moves (not your mouth) and move it.
Everyone can move something. If you have bad knees you can still exercise your arms or even do water exercises in a pool. Take up line dancing or karate. Walk the dog in the morning before work, take the kids for a bike ride after school, or listen to your favourite music while using your treadmill. Even housework can become exercise if you move vigorously enough. Turn vacuuming into a race, wash windows with plenty of elbow grease, or scrub flours until you work up a sweat. There simply are no excuses for not moving. Every day. Start with five minutes and add 1-5 additional minutes every week until you're moving for at least 60 minutes every day. You can spread the activity times apart if you want: vacuum for 10 minutes in the morning, take a brisk 15-minute walk at lunch, go for a bike ride after dinner for 30 minutes and carry out the rubbish, at a fast pace, for 5 minutes. You've done it.
There you have it: five simple, easy-to-start steps toward weight loss and long-term weight management. Start right now.
