"I'd love to exercise more... I'm just too busy!" I'm sure you've heard that said once or twice before. Maybe you've even said it yourself. The average person works over 38 hours a week - and medical experts recommend that we spend at least 56 hours a week sleeping. That leaves about 74 hours per week (or 7 hours per day) for eating, spending time with family, commuting to and from work, and running errands. Where's the time to exercise? Thankfully, one of the most effective ways to exercise is also the easiest. All you have to do is throw on a pair of shoes and start walking!

Many of the clients that come to see us for weight loss issues want to get rid of their belly fat, in particular. It is a real concern for them and, as you age, the ability to lose the dreaded donut around the waist can be even more difficult. If you want to reclaim your waist and say goodbye to belly fat forever, then you have to approach the issue from many different angles. Weight loss alone is not enough to remove the visceral fat around the belly; but with a multi-pronged approach, it can be done.

Whether it's a trip up the Pan-American Highway or a drive on Route 66, road trips can be a lot of fun. However, long car trips can be tough on your body creating cramps, stiff necks, and even tiredness, if you don't manage to get a bit of movement in your day. If you want to get your blood pumping, then try these on for size!

When the weather is warm, finding the motivation to go for a jog or a walk can be difficult. That is why exercising in water can mix your routine up nicely, and give you a nice respite from the summer sun. Exercising in water does not just mean swimming lap after lap of freestyle swimming which can get dull very quickly. There are many ways you can exercise, stretch, tone up and burn calories in the water which is particularly beneficial for those seeking a low-joint impact form of exercise. All you need is a well-fitting swimsuit and a bit of motivation to get you started.

As the weather turns chilly, it is hard to motivate yourself to keep to your exercise regime. If you get up early to exercise, it’s dark and cold and the last thing you feel like doing when you come home from work, is heading outside again. It’s not all doom and gloom, however. You can add some fun back into your routine during winter with these ideas. Getting fit and staying fit is now easier than ever!

Many people wonder which exercises are best for losing weight quickly and easily. Cardio exercises, which involve elevating your heart rate, are among the most effective for helping you lose weight. Since there are several different cardio exercises you can choose from, you should find the one - or more than one - that you know you can stick with for best results. When you combine regular mild-to-moderate cardio exercise with a healthy low-carb diet, then you can lose weight. Cardio workouts contribute to weight loss by burning calories and fat, as well as building muscle. Whichever exercise you choose to help you lose weight, maintain it at a level so you aren’t feeling overly hungry afterwards.

It is never too early to start thinking about looking great in your swimsuit this summer, right? You’re dreaming of looking slim and trim with a flat tummy, so you have already been dieting and exercising to lose weight. Some people have trouble getting rid of belly fat, even after losing weight. Although it’s impossible to “spot reduce,” you can still focus on burning that belly fat by adding high-intensity cardio interval training (HIIT) to your workout routine. Get ready to look and feel great well before summer rolls around!

Following a low-carb diet plan is a healthy and effective way to lose weight. For maximum results, you should also include exercise to help you achieve your weight loss goals. Cardio exercise is a good option for losing weight and getting in shape. You may consider low-impact cardio since it’s effective, but also easier on your muscles and joints than high-impact cardio workouts. In both cases, you need to make sure you’re increasing your heart rate enough, and for long enough, to burn calories and lose weight. Even if you’re short on time, you can still achieve calorie burning benefits from a low-impact cardio workout like the one in this post.

Have you had the chance to take a few dips in the pool or another body of water during the hottest part of the summer this year? Summer may be nearly over, but you can always enjoy swimming any time of the year.

Swimming, however, is proven to be one of the best exercises you can do since it offers you a great cardiovascular workout without straining your joints.
