It's time to lift - A lot of women stick to the cardio machine area of the gym. While I love cardio myself, it is not the most effective way to lose fat and to keep it off. At least it won't do alone. You need to get into the weight lifting area of the gym and start doing strength exercises for your entire body. Not only will you tone your body, giving it a nice, firm, look, you will also be boosting your metabolism which is something you have to get done as it naturally slows with age.
Being overweight in your forties means that exercise is that much harder, at least to being with. I do not advise going down the gym and risking your joints by going crazy and trying to burn 1,000 calories each session.You can lose weight simply via your diet and this is probably the best thing for you to do right now.
Avoid refined carbohydrates all day. Refined carbs such as baked goods, candy or overly processed snack foods break down super fast in your body and this causes a surge of insulin. When insulin is high your body increases it's ability to make body fat and slow fat burning.
Enter spinning. Just spin around clockwise with your arms out and get slightly dizzy. There's a little more to it than that, but that's the gist of it. Now tell me that's a boring tip! Try it out right now... most people get an instant energy surge from doing spins.
Know this... your hormones are controlled by your Endocrine System. Your Endocrine System reacts very favorably to spinning in a circle with your arms out. This stimulation from the spinning seems to bring the hormones into a natural alignment within your body.
You should take care of the type of meals you are eating during the day. Try to avoid large meals. Instead go for smaller meals. So instead of three large meals, go for five to six smaller meals. Be sure to have an interval of three hours between each meal. This will help you in keeping your energy levels up all day, and you will not have the craving for food frequently.
Many women will not lift weights because they worry about bulking up. Yet, resistance training is some of the best exercises to burn fat. The good news is that bulking up is a myth. It would take a lot more than a few sessions of lifting weights to turn into a bodybuilder. Keeping this in mind, make an effort to lift free weights at a comfortable, but challenging weight.
With all the different ideas on ways to lose weight, it is a choice for you to make. Popular weight loss and diet programs are used by millions. LA Weight Loss, Jenny Craig and Nutrisystems help people lose weight but not everyone gets results even on the same plan. It's going to take research and actual experience with any program to see if it works for you. These programs are very good at training you and teaching what to do. Some are also good at motivating and supporting you through the program.
Drink plenty of water in a day if you need to lose 10 lbs in a week. Intake at least 2 liters of water in a day that helps to get rid from unwanted toxins and keep your body hydrated. It is a natural appetite and you should not replace this drink from any other such as colas, juices, etc which keeps your body healthier. Women should also avoid drinking diet soda as it only makes you to gain weight.
