Coffee and exercise tip

Researchers at the Australian Institute of Sport found that athletes who consumed a small intake of caffeine before exercise could continue for up to 30 minutes longer than those who had not consumed it.

The caffeine also enabled the athletes to increase the amount of weight lost during physical activity. It also produced a 3.5% increase in exercise capacity.

Protein diet and body building

Quick workouts

Forget the idea that you have to trudge to the gym and spend an hour or more doing a formal workout.

Instead, you can work short spurts of physical activity into your day. Everyone has 10 minutes to jump rope, and sometimes that’s better than 20 minutes of walking or running.

Use support to lose weight

Tell your family. You’re not going to lose the weight alone, even if you ARE alone in losing the weight. If you’ve got a family at home, talk to them about it – initially, not incessantly.

Exercise sucks so do your exercises

Like anything that is done over and over again, exercise can become mundane.

When you get bored with exercising, you’re less likely to keep at it. To keep from getting bored with your workout routine, change it. If you’re tired of walking, try cycling. If you’re into weight lifting, try alternating this with cardiovascular exercises throughout the week.
