15 Minute Exercise Routines
It seems like we all want to lose weight and get fit, but the problem is that there just aren’t enough hours in the day. If you are like most people, after you finish work, get home and take care of dinner and the kids, there isn’t enough time left to exercise. That’s why these 15 minute exercise routines can help you to lose weight easily even if you have a busy schedule.
Here is the first routine, hope it works for you!
Warm-up: 3 minutes of stretching, gradually increasing the tension on your muscles. Start out slow, however, and don’t try to stretch too far, too fast.
Stairmaster: 7 minutes at a moderate pace. Again, start out gently and build as you go. By the time you step off, you should be going at a fairly vigorous pace.
Dumbbell Training: 4 different exercises, each done for one minute.
Shoulder Press, Lunges, Bench Press, Arm Curls.
Sit-ups: Do a set of 20 sit-ups during the final minute of your 15 minute workout.
You will find that if you do this workout three times a week and stick with it, your body will start to become toned and you will also begin to lose weight. The key to any sort of successful diet and exercise program is consistency. Persons who are able to stick with something and have the patience for long-term results will see their efforts rewarded. In addition to doing these exercise, try to eat a low-calorie diet of mainly fresh fruits and vegetables. You will find that you have more energy and feel better as a result.
Of course, if you don’t have time to exercise at all, then there are other options you can look at. But you will definitely need to exercise a lot of discipline when it comes to what you eat and drink. Exercising regularly makes it a lot easier to eat what you want. If you don’t like to exercise, then you will be forced to practice portion control dieting. That means that you eat smaller portions of food at each meal in order to shrink your stomach and lose weight in the process. One other helpful weight loss tip is to try to lose weight with green tea. Drinking green tea can boost your metabolism and help your body to burn calories more effectively. It is another diet option that you may wish to give a try.
