Dieting without exercise is a complete waste of time.  Remember when we talked about metabolism?  It gets revved up when you exercise.  Exercise will not only help you burn off fat and promote weight loss, it will also make you feel more energized and emotionally healthy as well.  If you think that you can just diet yourself thin, think again.  You need to exercise in order to lose weight. 

 

It is also important the type of exercise that you do.  You need to do cardiovascular exercises in order to lose weight.  Cardiovascular exercises get your heart pumping and your metabolism going.  They are exercises such as the following: 

 

Ÿ  Running

Ÿ  Speed walking

Ÿ  Jogging

Ÿ  Elliptical training

Ÿ  Stair stepping

Ÿ  Rowing

Ÿ  Jumping

Ÿ  Dancing

 

All of these get your heart rate climbing and help you burn off calories.  While toning and yoga exercises are a good way to relax, cardiovascular exercises are a good way to get energy and burn fat.  This is the reason that you need to do them as early in the day as possible. 

 

You should set your alarm for 15 minutes earlier than usual and make it a point to exercise in the morning.  You do not have to buy expensive gym equipment for your home.  You do not have to buy into a gym membership, although this is not a bad idea.  You just have to get your heart going in the morning by exercising and raising your metabolism.  When you combine cardiovascular exercises with protein in the morning, you are setting your metabolism up to burn off calories during the day.  By simply adding 15 minutes of exercises in the morning, you will be able to easily take off 10 pounds in 10 days. 

 

When you first start out exercising, you can start out slow.  Never over exert yourself or get to the point where you feel ill.  If you get dizzy from exercise or feel pain, stop.  You may want to start out by brisk walking or even lightly jogging in place in the morning.  Any little bit of exercise that you can do that you do not normally do will help you lose weight by boosting your metabolism. 

 

Do not think that you will get tired from exercise.  Just the opposite. You will have more energy by exercising than by not exercising.  This is why you should not do cardiovascular exercises in the evening before you go to bed. 

 

If you cannot manage to do cardiovascular exercise when you get up in the morning, you should do it when you get home at night.  You should wait at least 20 minutes after eating to exercise and never do it right before you go to bed.  If you are looking for a way to unwind during the evening and also tone your muscles, giving you a better shape, you can do Pilates.  These are stretching exercises that can help your body get into shape while relaxing you at the same time.  Yoga exercises are also good for exercising before bed. 

 

Running in place is a good way to get your heart pumping in the morning and does not require that you buy any equipment or spend money at a health club.  You can run in place right as soon as you get out of bed in the morning and then jump up and down to get your heart going.  The more exercise you do, the easier it will be.  You will find that every day, this gets a little bit easier and you have more energy.  Once you get into an exercise routine, it is like an addiction.  The more you exercise, the easier it gets and the more fit you become.  As you start to see results, you will want to exercise even more. 

 

Exercise not only helps you lose weight, it also promotes toning of the body.  As you lose fat, you need to do something about the skin.  You do not want it to sag, so by exercising, you can tone your muscles and tighten your skin. 

 

You will also feel healthier mentally when you exercise.  Many people who need to lose weight grow depressed.  Some people actually are depressed which is the reason that they are overweight - they eat out of a source of comfort.  Exercise actually boosts the serotonin in the brain and makes you feel better.  Taking a brisk walk will help you feel happier.  This is compared to the effects of an antidepressant. 

 

Do not attempt to lose weight without exercise.  You do not have to do a great deal, just 15 minutes a day will be enough to make an impact on your weight loss.  If you combine the above recommendations for food and drink with 15 minutes of exercise in one day, you will be able to easily lose 10 pounds in 10 days.
