The Pain & Gain from Exercising

“Rrrrring”…
Open eyes- look around for the offending noise.
Focus on the alarm clock and “BANG”.. switch it off…
6am- and who wants to leave the warmth of the bed- and go for heaven forbid – Exercising.
Nevertheless, with eyes closed, you think “I want to look slim and smart”.. but this is painful.

Sounds familiar?

All said and done, exercising is still the oldest and the best way to burn fat. Most of us (at least I do) gain weight easily and usually without much effort. To lose weight gained is the biggest challenge and exercise is the best way. Appearance matters a lot to majority of the people, slim look is in and all of us want to look the best. To be fit, slim and look great is now a pre-requisite to success sin life- be it work, getting accepted in groups etc.  Exercising burns fats spontaneously makes us feel healthy while giving the person a beautiful physique. There are many medical studies that have also shown that exercising also releases hormones that make you more happy!  Here are some great exercises for burning fat -

Running: Running is considered to be one of the best exercise for burning fat present in the body. The person should set a target to run with specific kilometers a day and gradually increase this distance. Early morning or evening running is equally good and has a similar effect to the body and the mind. The difference is seen within few days. Running not only reduces the excess flab but also makes the legs strong. Regular running improves body metabolism & makes one look healthy and fit.

Push ups: The persons having extraordinary amounts of fats on their body won’t be able to lose fats only through running. They need to supplement their running schedule with push up’s. This exercise not only helps to reduce the body fat but also decreases belly fat. The legs become strong and give body a perfect shape.

“Pumping Iron”: aka Bodybuilding , aka visit to the Gym, can be termed as next best mode for burning fat. The benefits of bodybuilding include burning excess fat and giving body a muscular yet stylish look. A visit to the local gym could be a great way to start off. It also offers a variety of training machines that can suit your own pace and needs. There are those who wan to reduce their weight, and there are those who we look at with envy, who have well chiseled bodies and want to build more!  A trainer is highly recommended as a newbie could cause more harm than good to themselves.  The trainer can guide you to do different types of exercises depending on the body types and goals.

Swimming: Swimming is another great exercise to burn fat and helps to lose excess fat from all parts of the body. This exercise builds stamina, gives the body a perfect shape and makes the legs, shoulders and lungs stronger. 

All these exercises can be done either independently or in combination with each other. For example running and swimming can be combined. The body should get a minimum of 45 minutes daily to stay healthy. 

Not many people take the time off from their busy schedules (yours truly included) but this is usually one of the most popular new year resolutions.  Keep at it- and your life will never be the same again (literally).
