The best way to make a change is to make that change a fun and positive experience. You’re always going to do something much more if you enjoy doing it. It’s one of the more simple facts of life, people do things which they enjoy far more often than they do things which they don’t. If you’re losing weight then this should become mantra because countless people throw themselves into weight loss schemes which they hate and then wonder why they’re not working properly.
Weight loss can be easy if you let it be easy. You can make it into a game or a challenge to raise the level of enjoyment or simply experiment with different techniques until you find one that you actually like. It doesn’t matter how you achieve enjoyment in your weight loss technique, all that matters is that you do. The difference will be massive, you’ll suddenly stop seeing it as a massive bother or frustration it’ll become something you want to do.
A great technique for promoting weight loss in your day to day life is taking up a new way of getting around. If you drive everywhere then this especially applies to you. Any exercise is better than none at all, so even walking to the corner shop instead of driving there will help you shed that fat. For those who’re looking for a challenge then why not start cycling wherever you can? Its fantastic exercise, it cuts down your costs in fuel and wear and tear on the car and you’d be helping to save the world! Win, win, win.
A lot of countries are eager to promote cycling to work and there are sometimes specialist schemes to help people do just that. Many cities have built cyclist lanes on their main roads to allow cyclists a safer and less congested route to work. Try it for a week and let us know what you think!
