How can I Stay Motivated to Exercise Regularly?

Remaining roused to work out routinely can be testing, yet there are procedures you can utilize to keep up with your inspiration. Here are a few hints to assist you with remaining persuaded on your wellness process:

Put forth clear and reachable objectives:

Lay out unambiguous, quantifiable, and practical objectives that you can pursue. Having an unmistakable vision of what you need to accomplish will provide you course and motivation.

Find exercises you appreciate: 

Participate in exercises that you truly appreciate. Whether it's moving, cycling, swimming, or playing a game, picking exercises you find fun and drawing in will make it more straightforward to remain spurred.

Make a daily practice: 

Lay out a reliable workout everyday practice by planning exercises at explicit times and regarding them as non-debatable meetings with yourself. Consistency breeds propensity, making it simpler to adhere to your activity routine.

Stir up your exercises: 

Keep away from dreariness by integrating various activities and exercises into your daily practice. Attempting new exercises, investigating different wellness classes, or participating in outside exercises can keep things new and energizing.

Track down an activity pal or join a local area: 

Practicing with a companion or joining a wellness local area can give responsibility, backing, and inspiration. Figuring out together or sharing your headway and difficulties can make the excursion more agreeable and assist you with remaining focused.

Keep tabs on your development: 

Track your exercises, estimations, or wellness accomplishments. Seeing substantial improvement and upgrades can be unimaginably propelling and give a feeling of achievement.

Reward yourself: 

Praise your achievements and accomplishments en route. Indulge yourself with little rewards that are not counterproductive to your wellness objectives, for example, a loosening up rub, another exercise outfit, or a sound and tasty dinner.

Center around the advantages: 

Help yourself to remember the various advantages of normal activity, like expanded energy, further developed mind-set, better rest, and generally speaking wellbeing. Imagine what practice decidedly means for your life and remember those advantages when inspiration fades.

Stir up your current circumstance: 

If conceivable, change your activity climate. Investigate different open air areas, attempt new wellness studios, or even adjust your home exercise space. A difference in landscape can assist with keeping things fascinating and forestall fatigue.

A Historical Change

You ever wonder how life might be different if you had made different choices in the past? What if you changed a single character trait about you, how would life change?

I did too, I wondered how might my life be different if I was born in Eastern Europe instead of the US. Turns out I don't have to wonder anymore. I was abruptly interrupted from my day dream when I realized I was not in my apartment anymore. And instead of the jeans and a t-shirt I had been wearing I was wearing tight biking spandex.

I quickly examined my new surroundings and clothes and began to realize my body had changed too. I was taller and leaner, there was more muscle on my body from years spent cycling and working out in the gym. Somehow I had become an Eastern European version of myself, and I wasn't going to waste this opportunity.

I took off my biking outfit to examine my new body more closely. As ran my hands over my new abs and felt my larger pecs and stronger arms I began to feel more familiar with my new body. As if it had always been mine. Which I suppose it always had been now. I quickly got dressed into a new tank top and shorts and left to go for a bike ride. The new me went for a ride at least once a day.

I found myself navigating the streets of my new hometown easily, as if it was second nature. With every mile I biked I was become the new me more and more. Stopping at my favorite spots to take pictures to post to my instagram.

As I was ending my ride I went straight to the gym, it was my usual routine, some aerobic work on the bike and then to do some weight training. I went through my whole training routine with the ease of having done it hundreds of times, even though many of the exercises I had never done before as my American self.

By the time my workout was done the memories of my old life seemed like a movie I had watched long ago. Faint, as I stood in the elevator and admired my body I felt the last traces of the old me fade away and embraced my new life.

RE8 Headcanon: AU Resident Evil Village characters at the gym🏋️:

A/N: Okay so recently I’ve started going to the gym and working out properly and today I literally had to hold back from giggling like a colossal MORON because all I can think of is what if the RE8 characters were in this gym rn LMAO. So these are how I think they would be in a gym environment or what exercise they would be into lol enjoy 😭

Alcina Dimitrescu:

Alcina definitely trains in the weight section like how else would she throw that dresser lmao

She has like a set routine of what muscle groups she’s gonna hit on what day

Definitely favours upper body workouts though she is a sucker for chasing that glute pump on leg day

She’s not into cardio though she will go for walks but only indoors on the treadmill lmao

She warms up and cools down properly too… she takes everything very seriously

She loves looking like a baddie at the gym too it’s what motivates her to go! She’s old school though so like flared yoga pants and sleeveless shirts are her go-to

If you’re usually intimidated by the weight sections you feel way more confident if she’s in the area since the GymBros™️ know better than to fuck with her

She also does CrossFit here and there just so she can focus on driving ~power~ through her body

The Dimitrescu sisters

POLE FIT!!

Cassandra kinda just likes to control the music though she does demonstrations of movements for her sisters (bc they're incompetent duh)

Dani is actually trying to create her own routine and lord she is SICK of Cass’s micromanaging

Bela is just climbing the pole and swinging aimlessly… she doesn’t do it to perform or anything she just likes having her Chandelier by Sia™️ moment

They are doing it behind their mum’s back obviously

They install a pole in the foyer though, then they have to explain to Alcina what it’s for

“I know what a stripper is and I thought I raised you girls to be classy!”

They have to explain that a) Ain’t nothing wrong with being a stripper and b) They are not stripping, they’re exercising by using their body strength 🤪

“You girls don’t need exercise. You can turn into flies for gods sake!”

Donna Beneviento

Hot Girl Walks™️ with or without incline

Gf is NOT one for sweating… she already is relatively physically active anyways if she’s carving out larger pieces of wood to make dolls

She likes that she can put on headphones and a playlist and just have Donna time™️

But if she’s feeling particularly pissed off or overly energised, she installed a boxing bag in her basement and she likes to go punchy punchy kicky kicky

Angie likes to coach her on her technique (she knows nothing and frequently suggests Donna should punch the rocks outside because she saw Chris Redfield do it once and thought it would make Donna stronger)

Donna likes to have a workout buddy if she attends a gym though… totally not for checking out their muscles while they demonstrate for her 😇

Donna also likes to dance, not any particular style… she just sort of does it to express herself without really speaking

Salvatore Moreau

Swimming (duh)

He likes aqua aerobics as he’s not very good at maintaining any good technique with any traditional swimming strokes

He sucks up to the instructors frequently though lmao

If he doesn’t do aerobic classes he likes to swim slow laps and tries to focus on improving his lung capacity

He also has a habit of swallowing so much water when he swims and ends up vomiting frequently

He invested in some nice flippers and a snorkel so he can swim at the beach (he is surprisingly quite afraid of strong currents and getting caught in the rip) he wants to give it a good shot one day

Karl Heisenberg

He also does weight training. He likes the feeling of metal in his hands

He frequently gets into Alcina’s space and takes weights from people without asking

He has no regard for gym etiquette whatsoever

He is the type to absolutely throw the weights up with his whole body instead of perfecting technique

He is also a grunter… he has no shame

He does call other dudes out if they’re making female patrons feel uncomfortable

Alcina still has to fight the urge to “accidentally” drop one of her weights on his foot though

Him and Ethan are incapable of using machines properly

Ethan Winters

Endurance running

He literally does marathons for fun. He’s a psychopath.

He likes hiking too and honestly has probably dragged Mia out to different tracks at some point in their relationship

If he does go to a gym… he has NO clue what he’s doing if he’s using the equipment like he just tries to guess what they’re for and ends up using them incorrectly like this:

Chris tried to teach him how to use them but Ethan is convinced you can use them any way you want

Him and Karl provide the gym patrons with entertainment for DAYS

Mia Winters:

Yoga/ Pilates mum

She’s been doing classes and her own practice since forever

She can do some pretty cool poses like her capacity to hold her own bodyweight is actually pretty crazy

She’s very sweet with new yoga participants… she gives them advice on how to improve on basic or advanced poses whenever they ask

It’s the only thing in her life that keeps her calm and collected tbh

Mother Miranda:

Jiu Jitsu

She wants to kick some ass but without all the force of kicking and punching, like getting some good submission holds in there

She likes that JiuJitsu is more of a grappling sport in this sense

She also wants to improve on her speed when she’s in the ring, she wants to make attacks look effortless so she can scare her opponents into thinking that it’s easy for her

She definitely makes her own rules however, she only likes training with anyone who is up for being a rag doll for her

Chris Redfield

Bro just does anything

He likes boxing though

He imagines that goddamn boulder scenario every time… people mock him about it and he dgaf

He has broken through many boxing bags as a result

His sparring partners dread having to fight with him because they know they’re gonna walk away with a dislocated shoulder from the massive shock absorption lmao

Rosemary Winters

She likes volleyball

She just does… all the “normal” girls at school do it so she figures it might help her situation a little bit

She is actually pretty good at it

She hates how long the practices are though, she likes it but not THAT much

She likes doing high intensity cardio classes at the gym when she’s alone

It helps her get all of her pent up teenage stress out of her system

At 93, he’s as fit as a 40-year-old. His body offers lessons on aging.

The human body maintains the ability to adapt to exercise at any age, showing that it’s never too late to start a fitness program

By Gretchen Reynolds

For lessons on how to age well, we could do worse than turn to Richard Morgan.

At 93, the Irishman is a four-time world champion in indoor rowing, with the aerobic engine of a healthy 30- or 40-year-old and the body-fat percentage of a whippet. He’s also the subject of a new case study, published last month in the Journal of Applied Physiology, that looked at his training, diet and physiology.

Live well every day with tips and guidance on food, fitness and mental health, delivered to your inbox every Thursday.

Its results suggest that, in many ways, he’s an exemplar of fit, healthy aging — a nonagenarian with the heart, muscles and lungs of someone less than half his age. But in other ways, he’s ordinary: a onetime baker and battery maker with creaky knees who didn’t take up regular exercise until he was in his 70s and who still trains mostly in his backyard shed.

Even though his fitness routine began later in life, he has now rowed the equivalent of almost 10 times around the globe and has won four world championships. So what, the researchers wondered, did his late-life exercise do for his aging body?

Lessons on aging from active older people

“We need to look at very active older people if we want to understand aging,” said Bas Van Hooren, a doctoral researcher at Maastricht University in the Netherlands and one of the study’s authors.

Many questions remain unanswered about the biology of aging, and whether the physical slowing and declines in muscle mass that typically occur as we grow older are normal and inevitable or perhaps due, at least in part, to a lack of exercise.

Start the year fresh

If some people stay strong and fit deep into their golden years, the implication is that many of the rest of us might be able to as well, he said.

Helpfully, his colleague Lorcan Daly, an assistant lecturer in exercise science at the Technological University of the Shannon in Ireland, was quite familiar with an example of successful aging. His grandfather is Morgan, the 2022 indoor-rowing world champion in the lightweight, 90-to-94 age group.

What made Morgan especially interesting to the researchers was that he hadn’t begun sports or exercise training until he was 73. Retired and somewhat at loose ends then, he’d attended a rowing practice with one of his other grandsons, a competitive collegiate rower. The coach invited him to use one of the machines.

“He never looked back,” Daly said.

Highest heart rate on record

They invited Morgan, who was 92 at the time, to the physiology lab at the University of Limerick in Ireland to learn more, measuring his height, weight and body composition and gathering details about his diet. They also checked his metabolism and heart and lung function.

They then asked him to get on a rowing machine and race a simulated 2,000-meter time trial while they monitored his heart, lungs and muscles.

“It was one of the most inspiring days I’ve ever spent in the lab,” said Philip Jakeman, a professor of healthy aging, physical performance and nutrition at the University of Limerick and the study’s senior author.

Morgan proved to be a nonagenarian powerhouse, his sinewy 165 pounds composed of about 80 percent muscle and barely 15 percent fat, a body composition that would be considered healthy for a man decades younger.

During the time trial, his heart rate peaked at 153 beats per minute, well above the expected maximum heart rate for his age and among the highest peaks ever recorded for someone in their 90s, the researchers believe, signaling a very strong heart.

His heart rate also headed toward this peak very quickly, meaning his heart was able to rapidly supply his working muscles with oxygen and fuel. These “oxygen uptake kinetics,” a key indicator of cardiovascular health, proved comparable to those of a typical, healthy 30- or 40-year-old, Daly said.

Exercising 40 minutes a day

Perhaps most impressive, he developed this fitness with a simple, relatively abbreviated exercise routine, the researchers noted.

Consistency: Every week, he rows about 30 kilometers (about 18.5 miles), averaging around 40 minutes a day.

A mix of easy, moderate and intense training: About 70 percent of these workouts are easy, with Morgan hardly laboring. Another 20 percent are at a difficult but tolerable pace, and the final 10 at an all-out, barely sustainable intensity.

Weight training: Two or three times a week, he also weight-trains, using adjustable dumbbells to complete about three sets of lunges and curls, repeating each move until his muscles are too tired to continue.

A high-protein diet: He eats plenty of protein, his daily consumption regularly exceeding the usual dietary recommendation of about 60 grams of protein for someone of his weight.

How exercise changes how we age

“This is an interesting case study that sheds light on our understanding of exercise adaptation across the life span,” said Scott Trappe, director of the Human Performance Laboratory at Ball State University in Indiana. He has studied many older athletes but was not involved in the new study.

“We are still learning about starting a late-life exercise program,” he added, “but the evidence is pretty clear that the human body maintains the ability to adapt to exercise at any age.”

In fact, Morgan’s fitness and physical power at 93 suggest that “we don’t have to lose” large amounts of muscle and aerobic capacity as we grow older, Jakeman said. Exercise could help us build and maintain a strong, capable body, whatever our age, he said.

Of course, Morgan probably had some genetic advantages, the scientists point out. Rowing prowess seems to run in the family.

And his race performances in recent years have been slower than they were 15, 10 or even five years ago. Exercise won’t erase the effects of aging. But it may slow our bodies’ losses, Morgan’s example seems to tell us. It may flatten the decline.

It also offers other, less-corporeal rewards. “There is a certain pleasure in achieving a world championship,” Morgan told me through his grandson, with almost comic self-effacement.

“I started from nowhere,” he said, “and I suddenly realized there was a lot of pleasure in doing this.”

How Regular Exercise Reduces the Risk of Diabetes

Diabetes is a significant health concern affecting millions globally, but the good news is that regular exercise can play a pivotal role in reducing the risk of developing this chronic condition. Regular physical activity is beneficial not only for weight management and cardiovascular health but also for blood sugar regulation and insulin sensitivity. In this article, we will explore how regular exercise helps reduce the risk of diabetes and provide tips for incorporating exercise into your daily routine.

Understanding Diabetes and Its Risk Factors

Diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. This leads to elevated blood sugar levels, which can cause serious health complications over time. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and a family history of diabetes.

The Role of Exercise in Diabetes Prevention

Improves Insulin Sensitivity: Regular exercise helps improve the body’s sensitivity to insulin. When you exercise, your muscles use more glucose, reducing blood sugar levels. Over time, this increased glucose uptake by muscles makes your body more responsive to insulin, thereby reducing the risk of insulin resistance.

Helps with Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial in preventing diabetes. Exercise helps burn calories, build muscle, and reduce body fat. Even modest weight loss can have a significant impact on reducing diabetes risk. For individuals who are overweight or obese, losing 5-10% of body weight can greatly improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels.

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels: Physical activity helps regulate blood sugar levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into muscle cells. Both aerobic exercises, such as walking, running, and swimming, and resistance training, such as weightlifting, are effective in managing blood sugar levels. Regular exercise also helps to stabilize blood sugar levels throughout the day, reducing the risk of spikes and crashes.

Reduces Visceral Fat: Visceral fat, the fat stored around internal organs, is strongly linked to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Regular exercise helps reduce visceral fat, improving overall metabolic health and lowering diabetes risk.

Enhances Cardiovascular Health: People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Regular exercise strengthens the heart and improves circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

Types of Exercise for Diabetes Prevention

Aerobic Exercise: Activities like brisk walking, running, cycling, swimming, and dancing increase your heart rate and help burn calories. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise per week.

Resistance Training: Strength training exercises, such as weightlifting, bodyweight exercises (e.g., push-ups, squats), and resistance band workouts, help build muscle mass and improve insulin sensitivity. Incorporate resistance training at least two days a week.

Flexibility and Balance Exercises: Activities like yoga and tai chi enhance flexibility and balance, reducing the risk of injuries and improving overall physical fitness. These exercises also promote relaxation and stress management, which are important for diabetes prevention.

Tips for Incorporating Exercise into Your Routine

Start Slow: If you’re new to exercise, start with small, manageable goals. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts as your fitness level improves.

Find Activities You Enjoy: Choose exercises that you enjoy to make it easier to stick with your routine. Whether it’s dancing, hiking, or playing a sport, enjoyment will keep you motivated.

Make It a Habit: Consistency is key. Schedule regular workout sessions and treat them as non-negotiable appointments.

Stay Active Throughout the Day: Incorporate physical activity into your daily routine by taking the stairs, walking during breaks, or cycling to work.

Monitor Progress: Keep track of your workouts and progress. Celebrate milestones to stay motivated.

Conclusion

Regular exercise is a powerful tool in reducing the risk of diabetes. By improving insulin sensitivity, aiding in weight management, regulating blood sugar levels, reducing visceral fat, and enhancing cardiovascular health, physical activity provides a comprehensive approach to diabetes prevention. Start incorporating regular exercise into your daily routine today to enjoy its numerous health benefits and significantly reduce your risk of developing diabetes.

"Harry Styles is a better singer than me. As People magazine’s sexiest musician alive 2023, he’s better looking too. But because I’m a fitness writer by trade, the hardest pill to swallow is that he might be in better condition.

This realization dawned on me as Styles’ coach Thibo David walked me through one of his typical training sessions. 

They kick things off with a slow 10 to 30-minute jog, followed by a rapid one-mile run and a bodyweight challenge comprising 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups and 100 air squats within eight minutes. Once that’s done, David considers the warm-up complete. 

What follows is a melee of weighted circuits, more running and core work which left me both intimidated and intrigued. So, as a fitness aficionado and Coach’s unofficial workout guinea pig, I decided to give it a go. All of it. 

30-minute slow-paced run 

If you include the one-mile run and bodyweight challenge, this is the hardest warm-up I’ve ever done, but, given the intensity required for the next two elements I’m promoting them to workout status. 

My usual warm-up routine consists of 10-minutes on a bike or exercise bike, followed by 15 minutes of dynamic stretching. The slow-paced run offered a similar introduction to my morning session, but after that I was in unfamiliar territory. 

Run one mile as fast as possible

David says Harry Styles can run a mile in an impressive 5min 13sec—a standard some of the professional athletes David coaches can’t match—but I was urged to run my own race.

“Don’t go in thinking ‘he did it in five minutes, I’m going to do the same’, just keep on pushing,” says David. “Don’t think about anything else, your time is yours.” 

So I found myself haring through a UK park at 30°F. The cold air stung my lungs and my heart rate soon soared, but I managed to stick to a pace I, as an average runner at best, was fairly happy with and finished in 5min 59sec.

In eight minutes complete:

100 push-ups

100 sit-ups

100 unweighted squats

This was far closer to my wheelhouse as a CrossFit fan. I chose to tackle it in alternating sets of 10, transitioning quickly between exercises to finish within the eight-minute limit. But even commando rolling from push-up to sit-up then springing into the squats left me little time to spare.

I took 7min 39sec, and, somewhat unexpectedly, given I can barbell squat more than 300lb, it was my quads that blew up the most. Whether this was the result of the one-mile run before it or heavy front squats the day before, I couldn’t say, but my thighs were on fire by the final rep. 

Four rounds of:

1min kettlebell swings (16kg)

1min box jumps

2min sandbag over-the-shoulder (20kg)

2min alternating dumbbell clean and press

1min rest

This was the part of the training day I felt most comfortable with—probably because it bore the closest resemblance to CrossFit.

“I like to say that I train very smart, but you also have to be very stupid sometimes, you know? Do this type of workout in the most stupid way; go hard at the task at hand, like when you throw a ball for a dog and it goes super crazy. 

“This is a very good workout for that. Very good at building everything that needs to be added after the aerobic base; aggressiveness, speed, that go-hard mentality.”

I tend to ease off the throttle in timed workouts like this, so I set a couple of goals going in. 

Firstly: no taking long breaks mid-minute. Secondly, hit a set number of reps each round. I pushed my body reasonably hard during the first round and found that 30 kettlebell swings, 18 box jumps, 20 sandbag-over-shoulders and 30 clean and presses made tricky but achievable targets for me.

Things did become particularly spicy during round three and four though, as my body began to tire with the sustained effort. 

My posterior chain (the muscles running along the back side of the body) took a battering from the kettlebell swings and sandbag-over-shoulders, my already-fried legs felt heavy during the box jumps, and my shoulders grew tired from two minutes of straight clean and presses—it was a serious test of muscular endurance.

Eight rounds of:

30-45sec sprint (16-21km/h) at a 0.5-2.5% gradient

90sec rest 

In the absence of a treadmill I sought out a nearby hill. For the first interval I ran as far up the hill as I could in 30 seconds (about 220 meters), sending my heart rate skywards. 

Then I took 90 seconds to walk back down the hill before repeating this distance. I also did 12 total rounds—I wanted the full Styles experience, after all—but I’d live to regret this. The hill I chose grew progressively steeper as I worked my way up it, and by the eighth round I felt like death. My sprints turned to slogs, and the time it took me to complete the distance I established in the first interval grew longer. 

The prior running and box jumps didn’t help either, but I got it done eventually in less than 30 minutes

15 minutes of “diverse core exercises including planks, one-sided farmer’s walks, side planks and sit-up variations”.

These exercise suggestions offer a comprehensive core workout, recruiting a wide range of mid-body muscles from the rectus abdominis (of six-pack fame) to the spine-supporting transverse abdominis and erector spinae, which play a major role in maintaining posture. 

I also appreciated the addition of a one-sided loaded carry, which challenged my core to keep me upright as a weight pulled me sideways. After all, while the core is always credited with moving the spine, it’s also needed for resisting unwanted movement under load.

10-15 minutes of assisted stretching

David left me to my own devices for this final part, so I worked my way through a 10-minute mobility routine on the Pliability app. 

This was a relaxing way to wrap up a far from relaxing morning of training, and gave me a second to catch my breath after a monumental effort which lasted a little over two hours.

How I Found Harry Styles’ Workout

I swapped this day of training for one of my usual CrossFit sessions and had a lot of fun doing it. Every part of my body felt like it had been put through the ringer thanks to the muscle-burning circuit and lung-taxing running elements. I was also very, very hungry. 

Another thing that impressed me was Styles’ evident fitness levels and work ethic; how he has the energy to perform for two hours during a stadium tour is no longer a mystery.

Another thing I liked about my chat with David was his openness and honesty. I often see articles online saying celebrities do a few Pilates classes or HIIT workouts each week to stay in unbelievable shape, and he was keen to dispel this myth.

“Collaborating with Harry Styles was an absolute delight; his commitment is unparalleled,” says David.

“But it’s important to note that this level of training isn’t suitable for everyone. Harry was inherently fit, but achieving the level of fitness needed for this session still required time, work and effort. Rushing into such high-volume workouts can pose risks.”

David also stressed that sessions of this intensity weren’t done every day, and the nature of his workouts will often “depend on the day and the state of the athlete”.

“It’s crucial to emphasize the significance of proper periodization,” says David. “Not every day constituted an intense session. In fact, we strategically incorporated recovery sessions which often involved a light run combined with core exercises and mobility work. Every workout was thoughtfully placed within the overall training plan.”

workout updates nov 1 2022

happy halloween everyone!

i missed 1 week of workouts due to my period and although i wished i could've worked out during that time i've learned to listen to my body and if it doesn't want to work out during that time of the month, i'm not working out lol. i did make sure to eat really healthy though (lots of salads) and i'm also thinking that next time towards the end of my cycle i may try doing upper body workouts.

once that time of the month was over, i got right back into my workouts. i still have my walk at home membership so i've been doing workouts from there. i'm also listening to my body and doing workouts based on what my body "feels" like doing. lately i've been in the mood to do cardio so i've been focusing on that. however, no matter what i do i also make sure to do my leg lifts at the end. still challenging but they're my fave.

in my last workout update post i said that i wanted to start back dancing and learning some sensual moves and i did! today i even began learning the moves while wearing heels and let me tell you that is a workout in itself. i'm going to make a separate post about my dance progress.

as far as the changes i'm going to make to my fitness routines i've decided to just listen to my body and do whatever my body wants to do (with a few exceptions). so if my body feels like doing cardio for a week then i'm just going to do cardio for a week lol.

one exception is that i still want to do some lower body training. i do leg lifts but i want to do a little bit more so after my cardio i'm going to do a 10 min lower body workout.

in addition to that i'm also going to continue practicing my dance moves for 15 mins a day so my new workout routine will be as follows:

am:

10 min warmup

cardio w/light aerobics (this will range anywhere from 15-40 mins depending on what i want to do that day)

10 min lower body workout

6-10 min cool down

pm:

10 min warmup

15-20 min dance practice

*maybe a 6 min cool down?

will be posting updates in about 2 weeks! because most likely my routine will have changed by then 😅 will also be posting my weight loss/healthy eating updates and dance updates in separate posts. ❤️

How do I reduce my belly fat?

Reducing belly fat involves a combination of dietary, lifestyle, and exercise strategies. While spot reduction (losing fat from a specific area) is not entirely possible, adopting a holistic approach can help you achieve overall fat loss, including from the abdominal region. Here are some tips to help you reduce belly fat:

Healthy Eating Habits:

Balanced Diet: Focus on a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit processed foods, sugary snacks, and high-fat foods.

Portion Control: Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overeating. Eating smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day can help regulate blood sugar levels and control hunger.

Stay Hydrated:

Drinking an adequate amount of water is crucial for overall health and can also help control appetite. Sometimes, thirst is mistaken for hunger.

Regular Exercise:

Cardiovascular Exercise: Engage in regular aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, running, cycling, or swimming. These activities help burn calories and promote overall fat loss.

Strength Training: Include strength training exercises to build muscle. Muscle burns more calories at rest, contributing to increased metabolism.

Abdominal Exercises:

While targeted abdominal exercises won't spot-reduce fat, they can strengthen and tone the muscles in that area. Include exercises like planks, crunches, and leg raises in your routine.

Get Enough Sleep:

Lack of sleep can lead to hormonal imbalances, including an increase in cortisol (stress hormone), which has been linked to abdominal fat accumulation. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night.

Manage Stress:

Chronic stress can contribute to weight gain, especially around the abdominal area. Practice stress-reducing activities such as meditation, deep breathing, or yoga.

Limit Added Sugars:

High sugar intake, especially from sugary beverages and processed foods, can lead to weight gain, including abdominal fat. Read labels and be conscious of hidden sugars in your diet.

Choose Healthy Fats:

Include sources of healthy fats in your diet, such as avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil. These fats can help keep you satisfied and are essential for overall health.

Be Patient and Consistent:

Healthy, sustainable weight loss takes time. Be patient and stay consistent with your healthy habits. Crash diets and extreme exercise regimens are often not effective in the long run.

Remember, individual responses to diet and exercise can vary. It's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet or exercise routine, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.

Is it possible to achieve weight loss by following an unrestricted diet and a sporadic exercise regimen?

No, you cannot lose weight by eating whatever you want and only exercising once every few days, when you have time. This is because weight loss is determined by the balance between your calorie intake and your calorie expenditure.

If you eat more calories than you burn, you will gain weight. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight. And if you eat the same amount of calories as you burn, you will maintain your weight.

To lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit, which means burning more calories than you consume. This can be achieved by either reducing your calorie intake or increasing your physical activity, or preferably both.

According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, to lose 0.7 kilograms a week, you need to reduce your daily calories by 500 to 750 calories.

Eating whatever you want means that you are not paying attention to the quality and quantity of your food. Some foods are high in calories, fat, sugar and salt, which can contribute to weight gain and health problems. Eating a balanced diet that includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fats can help you lower your calorie intake and provide essential nutrients for your body.

Exercising once every few days, when you have time, means that you are not consistent with your physical activity. Physical activity is important for weight loss because it helps you burn more calories and build lean mass. It also has many other benefits for your health, such as lowering blood pressure and cholesterol, preventing or reversing the effects of certain diseases, improving mood and mental health, and enhancing your quality of life.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of both. They also suggest doing strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week.

Therefore, if you want to lose weight, you need to adopt healthy eating and exercise habits that suit your lifestyle and preferences. You may not like the words diet and exercise, but they are the key to successful weight loss. You can start by making small changes in your daily routine, such as choosing water instead of soda, adding more vegetables to your plate, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or walking for 10 minutes during your lunch break. These changes can add up over time and help you achieve your weight loss goals.

How many times per week should I do HIIT workout?

Is It Safe to Do HIIT Every Day?

1. If you do HIIT regularly you need to mix up your routines

Like with any exercise Dr. Astorino says that you may get bored if you do the same routine regularly and your progress may also plateau. If you do the same regime, including the same number of bouts and the same length of bouts and intensities your gains might level off Dr. Astorino explains.

Plus there’s a chance of injury if you do the same repetitive movements over time without recovery time. If you’re doing HIIT on a treadmill which would imply sprinting you might have some shin splints ankle problems or joint pain,” Dr. Astorino adds.

Zapata echoes this stance. She says too much HIIT can have negative effects on your body and leave you susceptible to injuries.

While you may not notice the negative effects of not giving your body the rest and recovery it needs immediately, over time you will see a decrease in performance plateaus possible weight gain and overuse injuries she says. Remember more is not better!

Since HIIT can be done many different ways including outdoors or without equipment altogether there are ways to reduce the likelihood of hurting yourself. Dr. Astorino suggests doing HIIT on a bike. Research shows that biking is gentler on your knees and joints than running.

2. You don’t need to do HIIT daily

According to Jessica Zapata creator of Fitilates and co-owner of the Alberta-based gym Infinite Fitness the answer is clear. No, you do not need to do HIIT every day.

We live in a society that thinks if something is good more must be better but that is simply not the case she says. If you are truly doing HIIT properly you need recovery in between workouts to maximize the training effect.

So, then how often should you be doing HIIT? Due to the highly effective nature of HIIT there’s really no need to do it more than three to four times a week Dr. Astorino says. He points to the U.S. government’s health guidelines that say adults need two and one-half hours of aerobic physical activity per week and at least two days of muscle-strengthening exercise per week.

While Dr. Astorino says that there’s no reason to call regular HIIT sessions unsafe he says that he doesn’t see why someone would want to do it every day since research shows that it is not necessary. There was a study that came out 15 years ago and they had typical men not athletes doing HIIT for around 10 to 14 days in a row Astorino says. They showed the exact same benefits that you would typically associate if you were doing HIIT three days a week.

And the benefits are undeniable for people of varying fitness levels. HIIT is an effective form of exercise for many including those who work out regularly those who are obese and those living with diabetes. Science clearly says that if you’re a healthy adult HIIT works as well as cardiovascular exercise yet if you have diabetes or have heart disease most of the evidence shows it works better Dr. Astorino says.

How to Lose Weight Safely and Effectively

Losing weight is a common goal for many people, but it can also be a challenging one. There are many factors that affect weight loss, such as diet, exercise, genetics, health conditions, and lifestyle habits. However, there are some general principles that can help anyone achieve a healthy and sustainable weight loss. In this article, we will discuss 10 tips for successful weight loss, based on scientific evidence and expert advice.

10 Tips for Successful Weight Loss

Eat varied, colorful, nutritionally dense foods. A balanced and nutritious diet is the foundation of health and weight control. Aim to include a variety of foods from different food groups at each meal, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, healthy fats, and dairy products. These foods provide essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber that can help you feel full and satisfied. Avoid foods that are high in calories, fat, sugar, and salt, such as processed foods, baked goods, fast food, and sugary drinks. These foods can contribute to weight gain and increase the risk of chronic diseases.

Keep a food and weight diary. Self-monitoring is a key factor in losing weight and keeping it off. By recording everything you eat and drink, as well as your weight and physical activity, you can track your progress and identify areas for improvement. You can use a paper diary, a mobile app, or a dedicated website to log your food intake and calories. You can also weigh yourself regularly and measure your body mass index (BMI) to monitor your weight status.

Engage in regular physical activity and exercise. Physical activity and exercise can help you burn calories, build muscle, improve your metabolism, and enhance your mood. The general recommendation is to get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity per week, as well as strength training exercises at least twice a week. You can also incorporate more movement into your daily routine by taking the stairs, walking or biking to work or school, or doing household chores.

Find your inner motivation. Losing weight requires commitment and perseverance. You need to have a clear and compelling reason to change your eating and activity habits for the long term. It could be to improve your health, appearance, confidence, or performance. Whatever your motivation is, make sure it is personal and meaningful to you. You can also remind yourself of your goals and achievements by writing them down or posting them somewhere visible.

Get support from others. Having a strong support network can make a big difference in your weight loss journey. Seek out people who will encourage you in positive ways, without judging or criticizing you. They could be your family members, friends, co-workers, or online communities. You can also join a weight loss program or group that offers guidance, accountability, and social support.

Set realistic goals. Setting realistic and specific goals can help you stay focused and motivated throughout your weight loss process. Your goals should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of saying “I want to lose weight”, you could say “I want to lose 10 pounds in 3 months by eating 500 fewer calories per day and exercising for 30 minutes 5 times per week”. You can also break down your goals into smaller and more manageable steps that you can track and celebrate along the way.

Conclusion

Losing weight is not easy, but it is possible with the right strategies and mindset. By following these 10 tips for successful weight loss, you can improve your health, appearance, and well-being in a safe and effective way. Remember that weight loss is a journey, not a destination. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process!

What are the most effective exercises for weight loss?

When it comes to losing weight, the key is to find exercises that you enjoy and can stick with consistently. Here are some of the most effective exercises for weight loss:

Walking: It's simple, free, and accessible. A brisk walk can burn calories, improve your mood, and be easy on your joints.

Running or Jogging: These are great for burning a lot of calories in a short time. If you're just starting out, you can alternate between jogging and walking.

Cycling: Whether on a stationary bike or riding outside, cycling is excellent for weight loss and also builds leg strength.

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): These short bursts of intense exercise followed by rest periods are incredibly effective for burning calories and boosting metabolism.

Swimming: This full-body workout is gentle on the joints and great for building endurance and muscle while burning calories.

Strength Training: Lifting weights or doing body-weight exercises (like push-ups and squats) helps build muscle, which can increase your resting metabolism and help you burn more calories even when you're not working out.

Group Fitness Classes: Activities like Zumba, kickboxing, or spin classes can be fun and motivating, making it easier to stay consistent.

Yoga and Pilates: While these might not burn as many calories as some high-intensity workouts, they help with flexibility, muscle tone, and stress reduction, all of which support weight loss.

Rowing: This is a fantastic full-body workout that targets multiple muscle groups and burns a significant number of calories. Plus, it’s low-impact.

Jumping Rope: It’s not just for kids! Jumping rope is an excellent cardiovascular exercise that can burn a lot of calories in a short amount of time.

Dance Workouts: From hip-hop to ballroom, dancing is a fun way to get your heart rate up and burn calories without it feeling like a chore.

Hiking: If you enjoy the outdoors, hiking is a great way to combine cardio with strength training (especially if you’re tackling hills).

Kickboxing: This high-energy workout helps you burn calories while improving your coordination and building muscle.

Elliptical Trainer: This machine provides a low-impact workout that can help you burn calories and improve your cardiovascular health.

Additional Tips for Maximizing Weight Loss with Exercise:

Consistency is Key: Regular exercise is more important than occasional intense workouts. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week, combined with muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week.

Mix it Up: Variety can prevent boredom and target different muscle groups. Combine cardio with strength training and flexibility exercises for a well-rounded routine.

Stay Hydrated: Drinking water before, during, and after workouts helps maintain your energy levels and improves performance.

Monitor Your Progress: Keep track of your workouts and progress. This can help you stay motivated and make necessary adjustments to your routine.

Rest and Recovery: Don’t underestimate the power of rest. Your muscles need time to recover, which helps prevent injuries and improve performance over time.

Listen to Your Body: Pay attention to how your body feels during and after workouts. It's important to push yourself, but not to the point of injury or burnout.

By incorporating a variety of these exercises and tips into your routine, you'll be better equipped to lose weight and improve your overall fitness. Remember, the journey to weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint, so find what works best for you and stick with it!

Remember, the best exercise for weight loss is the one you enjoy and can do regularly. Combining different types of workouts can also keep things interesting and work different parts of your body. And don't forget to pair your exercise routine with a healthy diet for the best results!
