 Free Online Exercise Plan to Help you Lose Weight

 Step 4

Part of losing weight is more than just cutting calories, fat and changing your diet, you have to exercise. You have to remember that you are willing to change your life for the better, so you have to accept everything that comes with it. In this section we are not going to tell you to go running 10 miles a day or sign up to your local gym, the exercises that we will recommend are simple and anyone can do, with commitment and will power. We will list (5) exercises that if done daily, along with our food suggestions, will make you looking lean and feeling healthy. Remember that these exercises are not a destination, even when you reach your ideal weight, staying in shape and not gaining your weight back depends on you sticking to these exercises for life.

Exercising seems painful to those who don't participate, but it's actually addicting once you get started and start feeling comfortable. It becomes part of your everyday life without even thinking about it. Once you begin and get the hang of it, you will wonder why you never did this before. Remember to listen to your favorite music while exercising to help you stay motivated.

                                Walking... 

The most important one of them all. Walking 30 minutes every morning after breakfast and 30 minutes after dinner will do a wonder for you. You can take your dogs, push a stroller, it does not matter, as long as you commit to this (1) exercise. You don't have to power walk, but don't be a turtle either. Walk at a good pace, about 1 mile in 16 minutes. If you work M-F from 9 to 5, either wake up earlier to walk in the morning or walk after you eat your lunch during your break. On weekends try walking (1) hour in the mornings instead of 30 minutes. Make walking enjoyable, use an Ipod to listen to music, walk in parks, go hiking or walk through your neighborhood, whatever is comfortable to you.

                             Stretching... 

First thing and last thing you do everyday should be this. Spend about 3-5 minutes stretching your legs and arms. Reach your arms up to the sky with your feet about 20 inches apart, then put your feet together and touch your toes without bending your knees for about 30 seconds. If you do this everyday, you will eventually touch your feet as your body becomes more flexible. Twist your waist from left to right for about 25 reps and then swing your arms for about 25 reps.

                                Sit Ups...

 Start by doing 25 reps (3) times a week. After about 1 month, move it to 50 reps (3) times a week. Preferred time is in the morning. Remember to keep your legs together and your arms criss-crossed over your chest.

                       Walk the Distance... 

This is the simplest of all. Always park on the furthest parking spot when ever you go somewhere. We are so used to finding the closest spot to the entrance of the grocery store, post office, theme park, mall, etc. find the furthest spot and get used to parking far away, the extra walking will do wonders for you in the long run.

                              Fun Cardio...

 About 2-3 months into your diet and exercise plan, start considering playing some type of sport, either tennis, swimming or whatever you like. You don't have to be a pro or even good, its just the fact of getting out and exercising without trying to exercise, and having fun. Playing tennis for example is one of the best exercises, but you don't think about it when you are playing, you are so focused on hitting every ball and running after it, that you forget you are exercising.

Follow these (5) simple exercises and commit to them the rest of your life and not only will you lose weight, but you will feel better than you have ever felt in your life.
