6 Fun Exercises You Can Do To Lose Weight

We know that exercise is important to lose weight. We also  know that this is easier said than done. The hardest thing  about exercise is sticking to a routine. People do not stick  to a routine for many reasons. The routine exercises are  boring and take up too much time. Here are some simple but  fun exercises that you can do to lose weight.

  # 1. Go for Group Walk

  The best thing about walking is you and your buddy friends can walk anywhere and everywhere. Lucy Knight, author of Walking for Weight Loss says that the benefits of walking are countless. You use pretty much the same muscles as running - strengthening the hamstring, quadriceps, iliopsoas muscles at the front of the hips, calf and the gluteus maximus muscles with each stride but the activity is far kinder to the joints. A daily stroll can boost your health besides the calories burn.

  # 2. Bicycle riding

  Go bicycle cycling around your garden or your neighborhood.  Pedaling is fun, challenging and offers a great social  event. There is no age limit no formal training necessary  and everyone from young to old can do it. Cycling gets you  to more places and what a great way to get some fresh air  and a good workout. A 30 minute session can help you to burn  anything from 80 or more extra calories depending on your  speed and body weight.

  # 3. Try a Trampoline

  Rebounding in a trampoline is a fun and effective way to  lose calories. Do this while watching your favorite  television show or watching over your kids. As this is a low  impact exercise there is no danger of hurting your joints  and places less strain on other parts of the body.  Rebounding as exercise has been studied by the space agency  NASA and found to be 68% more oxygen efficient than other  forms of exercise. Regular use of a rebounder has shown to  increase our basal metabolic rate and aid in weight loss  management.

  # 4. Take up a sport game

  Play your favorite game such as tennis or table tennis with  your buddy and both can enjoy a game without worrying about  the weather. After some twenty minutes, your hearts will be  racing and you will feel good all over. Go back to your  active lifestyle in your college days and start playing  again. In no time, you will find that your social life will  improve along with your weight loss.

  # 5. Go for a Dance

  Even if you do not dance well, it is not too late to go for  a dance with your spouse or your friend. Join a dance class  and have some fun.  The popular salsa dancing is a fantastic  way to give your body a real aerobic workout and burn up all  those extra calories. Dancing takes the work out of exercise  and replaces it with fun.  Lessons can be taken alone, but  are more fun with a partner. Dancing is cheap and  convenient. All you need is a body with an eagerness to have  some fun.

  # 6.  Try the Boxing workout

  You can achieve weight loss, muscle tone and improved  fitness out of a boxing workout. A boxing workout is great  for toning your butts, thighs and the muscles in your arms.  Join a class near your area to learn the right technique to  punch properly. The exercise will help you to achieve a  total workout for your body as part of your weight loss  reduction program.

  Exercising can be fun if you are serious to look for it.  When you find an exercise that you love, stick with it.  Losing weight is not just exercise alone but along with the  right intake of diet, you can achieve success.
