Exercise-For Weight Loss

Listen, you may not know this, but the hula hoop may be 1 of the best and cheapest weight loss pieces of equipment you can ever buy. But beware… if you make this 1 mistake, you are probably not getting the most out of your hula hoop.

You don’t need many hula hoop exercises to lose weight, but you do need to do this for maximum weight loss…

For maximum weight loss using hula hoop exercises, you must use the hula hoop in short bursts… 2 minutes at a time. Using a hula hoop in just 1 session is a mistake. Your metabolism gets much more of a boost doing short mini-workouts throughout the day.

Now, to begin with, 2 minutes or less is probably all you’ll be able to do before you get tired. That’s fine.

But once you get good, be sure to stop after 2 minutes. Rest a bit, then do another 2 minutes as fast as you can go.

What I like to do is this… I use 2 minute tv commercials to exercise. I’ve found this to be best for results… as well as best for my busy schedule. This allows me to watch tv and relax, but still workout for about 22 minutes over 1 hour. (Note: There are about 22 minutes of commercials and dead time during a 1 hour tv show.)

Hula Hoop Exercises

There is only 1 hula hoop exercise that you need to do. Simply twirl it around your waist. You don’t need to get fancy or anything. That’s it.

I think hula hoops are awesome and under-appreciated. Besides mini-trampolines, they are fast becoming my favorite exercise equipment to use. I already have a toned body, but I’ve notice some nice little improvements in my waist and hips since adding the hula hoop to my 2 minute tv commercial exercise program.

So you don’t need to get complicated and use many hula hoop exercises… you only need 1. Just do this 1 exercise during tv commercials everyday for about 20 minutes. Do that and I dare you to email me saying it didn’t help improve your body in less than 3 weeks.

Here’s an exercise article for weight loss that actually has some good and useful tips that are easy, you can do at home, and get quick weight loss results. In this article, I’ll share with you a few of the best weight loss exercises.

Don’t worry… jogging (zzz), aerobics classes (haha), and all that other stuff that wastes too much time for too little results are not in this article.

First up… jumping on a mini-trampoline

This is a favorite of mine. It costs $25, but is a great investment. I like this for many reasons, first being that it gets good weight loss results. But time is important to me since like you, I’m busy. So this saves me time because I can jump on it during 2 minute tv commercials.

The average 1 hour tv show has 21-22 minutes of tv commercials (yeah I know, a lot!). So use that time instead of wasting it. By using that time, you free up time during other parts of your day.

Second… hula hoop your waist and hips into a belly dancer’s body.

The hula hoop will be the latest weight loss craze in a year or so. But it deserves the attention because nothing is really better for toning your waist and hips area. Picture yourself with a belly dancer’s body. It’s within reach if you hula hoop for 10 minutes a day.

Third… walking up an incline.

Because walking on a 10-15 degree incline causes your body to go into a huge oxygen deficit, the body is forced into burning bodyfat for instant energy. So all you need to do is walk on an inclined treadmill or a nearby hill for 15-20 minutes a day. Trust me, this is nothing like typical walking on flat ground. You’ll see.

Go try out these 3 really effective ways to lose weight from this weight loss exercise article.

Here are the best at-home exercises for weight loss and body toning. Not only are these easy and quick, but the results are far superior to anything you can get from working out at a gym.

1. Mini-trampoline jumping

This exercise works the whole body and you don’t need to do it for 15-30 minutes straight like exercises at the gym (treadmill, elliptical, stairstepper). The best way to lose weight from this is using it as a “METABOLISM BOOSTER” by doing it for 2 minutes every so often.

So its perfect if you’re busy. When you’re at home, just jump on it during 2 minute TV commercials. You do watch TV, don’t ya? Awesome… I give you permission to enjoy watching TV, but use at least 10 of those commercials to jump on the mini-trampoline. You get a full workout (20 minutes) and you do it in mini-workout fashion… which helps boost your metabolism even more than when you do your whole workout all at once.

2. For body toning, focus on hula hooping

This will tone the waist and hips better than pretty much any other exercise. If you’re a woman who is looking for a nice feminine waistline, you gotta do some hula hooping. It’s quick and easy… and yields incredible toning results.

I have 2 suggestions… get a bigger than normal hula hoop and make sure it’s weighted. This makes it easier to use. Then go about hula hooping for 10 minutes everyday. Perhaps you can do something like a minute on the mini-trampoline and follow it up with 1 minute of hula hooping during commercials.

These are 2 at-home exercises for weight loss and toning that are fast becoming really popular with busy people due to the great results and convenience.

Here are a few of the best female exercises for weight loss that you can do. They work for men also, but women seem to react better to these exercises. Read this now if you want to learn how you can REDUCE your exercise time but increase your WEIGHT LOSS results.

1. Combo walking on an inclined treadmill

What the heck is combo walking? Simple… you walk forwards for 1 minute and then you turn around and walk backwards for 1 minute. Keep alternating between them for a total of 20 minutes.

Your body isn’t ready for this. The backwards walking confuses it. It’s forced to react. It’s reaction includes quicker weight loss. Why? Because your body adjusts to workouts really quick. If you keep doing the same workout over and over, your body pretty much laughs as you.

It’s a cakewalk for it. It can do your workouts in it’s sleep. It needs a challenge. Something different. Walking backwards is TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Another thing… walking backwards also keys in on different muscles in your legs as compared to normal forwards walking. Expect to be sore the next day. Don’t make me beg you to do this… it’s awesome.

Just try it once. Don’t worry about what others think.

2. Jump-ups onto a bench

This is a great fast-paced cardio exercise in which you jump up onto a bench with both feet. Then you jump down. Do this as fast as possible for 1 minute non-stop. Do this for a total of 3 sets. Rest 45 seconds between sets. Do this twice a week.

This gets your heart going. It creates a nice oxygen deficit which acts as a catalyst for rapid fat loss.

I consider these 2 of the best female exercises for weight loss.

Guess what… each aerobic exercise for weight loss isn’t created equal. In fact, 1 is absolutely a complete waste of time so I strongly suggest you avoid this exercise that I’m going to talk about.

Can this exercise help you to lose weight… yes. But for the amount of time and effort you put in, it’s hardly worth it.

Aerobic Exercise For Weight Loss – Avoid This One…

Riding on a stationary bike… or even a bike.

Now first off, yeah, riding a stationary bike CAN help you to lose weight, but it’s probably the worst option to choose. Why is that? For that, you need to understand that the body was meant for activities where it’s “IN SPACE”.

That means in a natural position. Your natural body position IS NOT sitting on something while you hold on to something else. Your body is LOCKED IN.

Picture someone riding a stationary bike.

What do you see? You see a person who’s upper body is barely moving. And their legs… they’re pushing against a pedal that doesn’t mimic natural force with the ground.

What does this translate to?

It translates to slow weight loss results… if any. A normal bike is better since it’s more natural and mobile which forces your body to do a bunch of things to maintain equilibrium. But compared to something so simple as walking or running… riding a stationary bike is pitiful in results.

Most people screw up running (I have articles that talk about how)… and they still get better results than people who ride stationary bikes.

So my advice is simple. Avoid the stationary bike aerobic exercise for weight loss. It’s an OK piece of equipment to warm up on, but that’s about it. Other than that, use it as a coat rack.

Here are some quick and easy home exercises for weight loss if you’re busy and don’t have time everyday to go to the gym. In fact, these exercises are probably superior to exercises you do at the gym.

1. Jump on a mini-trampoline

This is easily my favorite exercise to do, period. It’s a lot more effective than you’d think… but just try it for 2 minutes and you’ll see it’s a hidden gem. Just go to Wal-Mart, or if you hate Wal-Mart some other place, and plunk down your $25. It’ll be 1 of the best investments in yourself and weight loss.

What I do is jump on it during 2 minute tv commercials. This way I don’t even have to bother blocking out a chunk of time to exercise. I just exercise between doing other things. Believe me, this makes exercise so easy to do everyday.

Just to let you know, a typical 1 hour tv show has about 22 minutes of commercials. So you just need 1 tv show to get in a good workout.

2. Hindu Squats

These are fast-paced, no weight squats where you keep a pretty straight back and you squat up and down as fast as possible to create an oxygen deficit (which helps ellicit major fat loss). Make sure to swipe or touch your finger tips to the ground each time you squat down. If you don’t do that, that repetition doesn’t count.

Try to do 100 repetitions a day for the first week. Then increase to 200 for the second week and beyond. (Note: You don’t have to do all of these repetitions together, but for this exercise you’d get better results if you did them all at once.)

If you do just these 2 home exercises consistently, you can expect some good weight loss results without messing up your busy schedule.

Here are a couple waist and belly exercises for weight loss that you should be doing. Look, the fact is, most people who go to the gym and exercise aren’t getting any real results. If you’re one of them, take 2 minutes right now to read this article so you can start losing weight faster.

Waist and Belly Exercises for Weight Loss

1. Bodyweight squats

Ok, first off. You’re thinking this is a leg exercise. Kinda yes, kinda no. It’s a total body exercise. The abdominals play a big part in squats because they act as stabilizer muscles. Here’s the thing… if you want to turn the squat into a weight loss exercise, you have to do the squats really fast.

With bodyweight squats, obviously you only use your bodyweight. Here’s how I would like for you to do them. Do 20 as fast as possible. Rest 30 seconds and do another 20. Keep doing 20 like this until you’ve done 100 total bodyweight squats. For best results, do these everyday.

2. Vacuum posing

This is all about sucking in your abdominal muscles and staying in that position to allow the isometric tension to help flatten your belly. Most people can only maintain the “sucked in” position for a few seconds. That’s fine. Here’s what you need to remember. Do this exercise for 5 minutes a day. AND… do it everyday. If you’re pressed for time, do these during tv commercials. Slip them in there. That’s it. Expect 2 inches or so to disappear from your waist in 3-4 weeks from this exercise.

Try out these 2 waist and belly exercises and I think you’ll be happily surprised at the weight loss as well as how much you’re stomach has flattened out.
