• Have you been meaning to join a gym and to start
  doing something about your weight? Do you find
  the gym fees too expensive? Do you find you do
  not have time to go to a gym or it is too far
  away or too inconvenient? You do not need a gym.
  And you do not need to buy the latest exercise,
  weight loss machine dont you love the TV ads
  that show people having such a great time and
  losing weight while you watch? If it was only
  that easy!
• Here are some simple things you can do lose
  weight at home
• 1. Stand up as much as you can. Look for the jobs
  you normally sit down to do and see if you can do
  them standing up. Standing requires energy and
  energy uses calories.
• 2. Move as much as you can. Look for reasons to
  stand up and move. There are plenty of household
  jobs that require movement and bending.
  Incidental movement helps use calories.

• 3. If you have been sitting for a while, get up
  and move. Walk around. Do some stretching
  exercises.
• 4. Set aside some time for aerobic exercise. This
  can be as simple as walking on the spot. Give
  yourself time to warm up and you can then lift
  you intensity. High intensity exercise will burn
  fat if it is done regularly. A simple high
  intensity routine is to walk on the spot at a
  normal pace for 12 seconds then walk as fast as
  you can for 8 seconds. Do this for 20 minutes 3
  or 4 times week and you will lose weight. If you
  have an exercise bike or walking machine, you can
  use them. Heres a tip so you do not have to glue
  your eyes to a clock while you are exercising
  count the number of slow steps you do in 12
  seconds and the number of fast steps you do in 8
  seconds then all you have to do is count the
  steps each time.
• 5. Use yoga and stretching exercises to relax and
  strengthen your muscles. This will help you get
  rid of some aches and pains and help you lose
  weight. Buy a DVD to follow or a book on yoga
  positions or check the Internet.

• 6. If you have some hand weights, use them when
  you are walking on the spot to give your arms
  some resistance. This will strengthen and firm
  your arm muscles. If you do not have weights then
  find something in the pantry cupboard bottles,
  jars, tins.
• 7. If you need guidance and variety, buy an
  exercise DVD to follow. There are a number of
  good ones that start at a basic level and allow
  you to increase your activity as you get fitter.

• 8. Exercise is an important way to lose weight at
  home but it must go hand in hand with a healthy
  diet. Make sure you cut down on the amount of
  white flour and white sugar you are eating. Eat
  as many fresh fruit and vegetables as you can.
  Include plenty of protein in your diet as well as
  complex carbohydrates like whole grain bread. Cut
  down on the amount you eat at night a glass or
  two of water before your meal will help you do
  this.
• You do not have to step outside your door to
  exercise and lose weight. In fact, your home is
  the perfect place to lose weight because you are
  in total control of your environment. You can
  control what you eat and how and when you will
  exercise. All you need is a little space and the
  will to do it.
