Guaranteed Fat Loss Workouts

The battle of the bulge is created by a sedentary lifestyle and the ingestion of high calorie foods and drinks. It takes months or even years to accumulate, and unless you opt for invasive liposuction or another kind of surgery, the only way to undo the weight is through diet modification and exercise. Fortunately, there are some guaranteed fat loss workouts even the most out of shape diet hopeful may employ on the road to a slimmer, trimmer and fitter body.

First and foremost is walking. Everyone knows how to walk and if you have the power of movement, then your legs and feet are your best assets on the road to fat loss. It does not matter if you own an expensive treadmill with an incline or instead visit the gym. As a matter of fact, if you opt for neither, why not put the pooch on the leash and walk around the block. Slowly at first, but over time speeding up and maybe adding a bit of territory, before long you will walk, burn fat, build muscle, and feel better.

If you are up for more of a challenge, then one of the many cross country skiing machines will do the trick. The gliding motion of the legs requires muscle control and with the arms swinging, you are sure to get a whole body workout. This kind of exercise is especially good for the abdominal muscles and fat loss as well as muscle toning is a guaranteed result.

Another guaranteed weight loss workout is weight lifting. Granted, if you do not belong to a gym, it is hard to find some high quality weights, but do not despair! If you own a few heavy books (think Zondervan's NIV Exhaustive Concordance or Encyclopedia Britannica) you can use them to lift them just as you would weights at the gym. In the alternative, carry them with you as you walk. The increased weight requires increased energy, which or course will result in an increase in fat burn. For an even more authentic feel, purchase two bags of cat litter, and you are on your way to fat loss!

No enumeration of guaranteed fat loss workouts would be complete without mentioning the jump rope. Joints permitting, this makes for a great workout that is sure to shed some pounds and increase your stamina. Yet if your joints and ankles are unlikely to cooperate, you will find that a modified exercise of lunges and aerobics will also build stamina and may even condition your joints and ankles to such an extent as to permit future use of the jump rope.

The last fat loss workout takes places on your dining room table and involves the lifting of your knife and fork. Granted, this is not a bona fide muscle building workout, but it sure has the power to burn some fat! As a general rule, diets don't work. What does work is behavior modification. Avoid carbohydrates for dinners and focus instead on veggies and meat. If over the course of a week you eat three bags of chips, cut it down to two. If you drink one glass of water over the course of the week, increase it to three. In other words, exercise your will power to increase the healthy food choices and decrease the not so healthy ones.
