You may have been putting off your weight loss plans because you don't know where to start. With so much information available on weight loss, getting started can be a bit overwhelming. Losing weight requires creating a calorie deficit or burning more calories than you consume. Getting active and keeping a close eye on the foods you eat will help your body blast calories to lose weight.
Step 1
Plan to exercise every day instead of three days per week. You'll most likely make at least three to four workouts.
Step 2
Train with resistance at least three days per week. Perform circuit training consisting of weighted exercises for each body part with 30 seconds to one minute of cardiovascular activity, such as jumping jacks, after each. Do one set of 15 to 20 repetitions for each exercise. Rotate through the circuit for 30 minutes.
Step 3
Train with an MP3 player with your favorite tunes to make your workout more fun. Download a new song regularly so you have something extra to look forward to when working out.
Step 4
Track your daily calories using an online tool. Watch your calories for three days to see the average number of calories you consume daily. Subtract 500 to 750 from this number to calculate your daily caloric goal to lose 1 to 2 pounds per week.
Step 5
Prepare your meals at home to keep better control over what you eat, and manage your calories on the weekend. Eating out for dinner or having drinks can pack on loads of fat and empty calories from sugar and alcohol.
