Common conclusions
A fitness tracker is a good and worthwhile investment because it makes you responsible for your goals and the fact that you have it on your wrist at all times, is a reminder to keep moving to reach your goals. The best part about these fitness trackers is that they are a one-time investment that can keep you in good stead over many years and you have the flexibility to set the goals that are most comfortable for you. For example, if you've not been exercising at all, you can start with 500 steps a day and increase as you get fitter. All of this will contribute to weight loss without hitting the gym.
Strength training is an important part of weight loss as it makes your bones stronger and helps to build that lean mass. The good news about strength training is you don't have to hit the gym to do it. Instead, buy a few dumbbells of different weights and start lifting them. Learn the different strength training exercises like planks and squats that don't require any equipment at all. You can do it from the comfort of your home at a time that's convenient for you.
Research shows that when you exercise for at least 30 minutes each day for five days a week, you will start losing weight. This activity can be as simple as walking to start with and once you gain confidence and strength, you can include more exercise in your routine.
A major part of your weight loss happens in the kitchen. Make sure you choose healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables over processed foods. Likewise, opt for whole grains and lean protein and keep your portions small and healthy.
One of the most overlooked aspects of weight loss is a good night's sleep because this is the time when your body repairs and rejuvenates itself. If you don't get a good night's sleep, your chances of injuries are high and you may fall sick when you push too much exercise.
Overtraining is the single biggest people do in their enthusiasm to lose weight. Remember, nothing can be done in a day and you need to spread your weight loss program over a few months or possibly even years if you are obese. Start small and build your way slowly and make sure to take good rest in between. Ideally, set a schedule for yourself and stick to it always without overtraining. This is the best way to lose weight without going to the gym.
Good. Include both cardio and strength training exercises to get a good mix.
