Other simple ways to get fit include; holding in your abs and clenching your bottom whilst you are queuing (although dont make it to obvious!); walking up the stairs or escalators in the London Underground; even deep breathing can boost your metabolism.

What About Gyms?

Probably the most popular place for exercising is the gym however. There are a variety of gym equipment and health and safety measures in place to ensure your workout is efficient and doesnt pose serious risks to your health. You will nearly always have fully trained and experienced personal trainers on hand to help guide you and to keep you focussed and motivated. This will be a big aid to you as it will ensure you dont stop working out and help you to achieve your fitness goals.

You can also get a great cardiovascular workout through attending martial art, mind and body and dance classes. These classes are excellent ways of getting an aerobic workout. You can use videos and books to help you to train from home, should you prefer it.

Can you dedicate just half an hour a day to getting your heart rate elevated? If you can combine healthy eating with regular physical activity, you can lose weight, manage your weight more easily and stay fit and healthier for longer. Reduce the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and strokes through remaining active and sticking to your diet. Walking, climbing stairs, gardening, ironing or even rubbing sun tan lotion into your skin burns off calories.

Its just a matter of maintaining your enthusiasm for weight loss and control and doing whatever you can, whenever you can. You should also exercise early. Working out prior to breakfast helps you to burn calories off quickly. Your body burns fat faster on an empty stomach because your energy stores are depleted and blood sugar levels are low.
