Weight Loss - Staying Active

A well-balanced weight loss diet is not enough for losing weight and for maintaining good health. Doing exercises is also very important. If you plan well, you can fit 30 minutes to an hour of aerobic exercises into your schedule with ease.

Aerobic exercises can mean activities like ice-skating, inline skating, dancing, bike riding, walking, and so on. Aerobic exercises are vital for your health since they make your blood vessels, lungs and heart work better while also strengthening each of them.

First choose the exercises you like to do and look into your daily routine so that you can fit in particular exercises. This way you can increase your levels of aerobic activity.

If you are starting from absolutely no physical activity, plan only for 5 to 10 minutes each day. Once you have reached that level, raise it slowly each week by 10 minute additions till the point when you are exercising for 30 minutes to an hour for most of the week.

Try to do all your aerobic activity at one go, so that you can maximize your cardiovascular health. However, if your routine does not allow for it, just split it up in smaller parts through the day.
