Deciding to lose weight requires a commitment to cardiovascular trainiing, strength training and diet. It requires a lot of work to lose weight the correct way. By eating correctly and exercising, you can lose 10 lbs. in a month without the help of "magical" diet pills or other extraordinary means. Additionally, if you can lose 10 lbs. in a month, you will have set a precedent for a healthy lifestyle in the months that follow.
Step 1
Play basketball, volleyball or soccer three times a week. These sports all require non-stop movement that will fulfill your need for cardiovascular exercise. It will get your heart rate up and increase your metabolism. You will continue to burn calories after you have finished your activity. This is known as excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC).
Step 2
Lift weights in order to get stronger and also burn fat. Lifting free weights or circuit training will help build muscle and it will also help you get rid of fat. The fat-burning process is the added benefit of strength training. If you don't have access to free weights or circuit training machines, you can accomplish your strength training with push-ups, pull-ups and crunches. Do two sets of 20 push-ups, two sets of 6 pull-ups and two sets of 40 crunches three times per week in order to build strength and cut fat.
Step 3
Go to a nearby high school or college track to do interval training. Find distances of 100, 90, 80 and 70 yards on the track and sprint them consecutively, starting with the longest sprint and ending with the shortest. Take no more than 15 seconds between your sprints. After your finish all of them, take a two-minute break and repeat the set. This is a great calorie-burning workout that will help you lose 10 lbs. in a month.
Step 4
Eat a healthy diet. Cut out fast foods and junk foods. Substitute chicken and fish for red meat. Eat two or three portions of fresh vegetables like broccoli, asparagus and sweet onions every day. Eat 2twoportions of fresh fruits like blueberries, guava and oranges every day. Eat complex carbohydrates like brown rice, whole grain cereals and spaghetti to give you the energy needed to exercise. Stay away from desserts and fried foods.
Step 5
Drink 64 oz. of water daily to help with your weight loss. Water will help keep your body hydrated and that will enable you to perform your exercises efficiently. Water is much better for you than sports drinks that are loaded with sugar and high in sodium content. Water will also help flush all the poisons and toxins out of your body.
