Losing weight and boosting your fitness are two things that most people aspire to do, but few people actually achieve. Before we start heading into winter, when those winter woollies add a few imaginary pounds to your figure, it might be a perfect time to finally get into shape, and fortunately there are some simple activities that can boost your wellness and wellbeing and help improve your fitness.
You may have heard of Zumba – the healthy dance craze that has been sweeping the nation. This is one craze that is not just a fad – those who do Zumba actually see results really quickly. The Zumba plan makes you shed pounds through movement and a range of motion, and it engages all your core muscles and gets your pelvic muscles pumping. The fun aspect of the dance class means that you do more activity than you would otherwise, and you don’t notice just how much exercise you are taking (until the next day when you are likely to ache a bit!)
TRX strength training is also a great programme, as it uses strength training to help you shed pounds. Using suspension straps, you go through a range of weight training exercises and motions. You burn a lot of calories with this programme – far more than you would through any kind of traditional weightlifting programme.
Circuit training is also great for helping you shed pounds and tone up. This means that you don’t just do cardio or strength training, you incorporate them into one workout (with a little bit of abs work too for good measure). This allows for the best calorie burn and helps you to build lean muscles, and is the best way to get fat off quickly and build a healthy and strong body.
