You Don't Have Time To Lose Weight?

By Howe Russ


In a recent survey, 87% of people in the UK reported that they feel like they don't have time to lose weight and can't fit regular exercise into their busy lifestyles. Today we are going to be looking at this and revealing the simple rules which will teach you how to lose weight without dedicating your entire life to the gym.

Usually the reason we fall into this negative mindset comes down to simple little things which turn out to be nonsense. For instance, we all know one friend who seems to live at the gym and that can lead us to believe we would need to do that if we wanted to get some results. It's not true. You can make an incredible change with a few small, easy changes to your existing lifestyle.

You don't even need to go to the gym to start seeing results. If you talk to any professional bodybuilder or sports athlete they'll tell you that abs are carved in the kitchen, not the weights room, so the most important changes to be made are things you can do at home right now. The points below lay things out sensibly for you.

* Ignore hyped up diets, often endorsed by celebrities, offering instant and effortless results. They're nothing but marketing gimmicks designed to take your money. Notice the same celebrities in six months time back out of shape, before releasing yet another workout dvd the following festive period. It's a career for them, and it promotes unhealthy yo-yo dieting.

* You need to provide your body with adequate protein if you are lowering your carbohydrate intake.

* You don't need to stop eating or skip meals. In fact, regular meals are recommended. It's more a case of learning how to use a simple calorie deficit. It's not as hard as people often like to make it out to be.

* Taking a day off from your diet every week or two is a great motivational tool.

* Your body can use protein more effectively than either carbs or fats, so if you fancy a quick snack try to load up on something which has a decent protein content.

Once you have the basics laid down you'll notice you begin to notice fat dropping off and, you guessed it, you haven't even walked through the doors of your local gym yet. When it comes to working out there is a ridiculous perception that you must spend two hours per day or, if you are female, that you need to do endless cardiovascular exercise after work every night. It's not true.

Some people say that they don't have time to exercise because they genuinely mean it, meanwhile many others use it as an excuse to make themselves feel better for their situation. If you want to get results you can create a phenomenal workout session in as little as 15 minutes per day. That's right, I really said fifteen minutes.

There is no need to over complicate the process of exercising your body. This stands true particularly if your overall goal is fat loss. The key to success is being able to utilize your environment. You don't need a gym to get your heart rate up and complete a workout, you don't even need a lot of time.

The basics still work the best when it comes to exercise and fitness. Go back to proven exercises like pull ups, push ups and squats because the science behind them stands tall above any other exercise in the book. Circuit style training can be done using the majority of basic body weight movements and, believe us, it's not as easy as it looks written down on paper!

There are countless gym members around the globe trying to figure out how to lose weight or how to get that last bit of stubborn belly fat off their midsection. You'll often hear people telling those around them that they just don't have time to lose weight. You now have information to the contrary. Use it wisely and go get those results you've spent the last year or two dreaming of.
