Leading a sedentary lifestyle only adds to the pent up energy in the body which culminates in piling on pounds. The best way to get rid of flab and get 'fab' is by releasing energy through various activities. Apart from your daily chores that help you release energy, you need to get moving and not just strolling around. That said, you need to get at least 45 minutes of rigorous and strenuous exercise regime to help your body release the extra energy.
You can start by walking/jogging on the treadmill for a good 15 to 20 minutes daily. You can even get outdoors and walk briskly in the park every morning and evening. We'd give a big thumbs-up if you take the stairs instead of waiting for the elevator or getting on the escalator. Get your child's jumping rope out of the closet and use it to sculpt your own body. Another alternative is to buy yourself a stationary bike and pedal away to a gorgeous body.
To get your heart pumping, you should ideally...
... Brisk walk for 30-40 minutes or
... Jog for 20 minutes at a stretch
This should be supplemented with...
... 8 to 10 minutes of stretching your muscles
... 10 to 15 minutes of crunches, pull-ups and push-ups
... 5 to 8 minutes of step up exercises
... 10 minutes of aerobics or functional exercises
... Weight training once every three days
The next best option...
... Put on your dancing shoes and enjoy a workout in the bargain.
The best way to shed flab at home is to live a healthy lifestyle, and for that you definitely need to practice a few healthy habits. These include being an early riser, taking exercise seriously, and drinking plenty of water. Besides, you also ought to remember to cut down your caffeine intake, eat healthy, and minimize being sedentary for too long; which means you have to ditch the elevator, bid goodbye to lazing around on the couch while munching on chips and popcorn. Last but definitely not the least, you need to get enough sleep to aid you in your weight loss regime.
