Simple Weight Loss Exercise

In past article (Plan for Diet Food) I gave you some tips of losing weight from diet food perspective. But, if you'd like rather on exercise perspective, you can also lose one pound a week by doing simple weight loss exercise that upping your activity level by 500 calories a day. How easy is that to do? Take a look:

• Take a half-hour walk around the park. Aim for a pace that's a little faster than a stroll, but not fast enough to be breathless. Burn: 160 calories. Very simple and favorable weight loss exercise, right?
• Get out your bike and take a ride. It’s also a good weight loss exercise. Tackle a few moderate hills and aim for about five miles total. Burn: 250 calories.
• Another very simple weight loss exercise you can practice is go dancing - and really DANCE!! The longer you're out on the floor instead of at the table drinking up high-calorie drinks, the more you'll get out of it. Dancing that makes you breathless and warms up your body will net you a nice calorie savings. Burn: 400 calories for one hour.
• Swimming is also great weight loss exercise for you, and a lot of fun, too. The water resistance means you burn more calories, and you avoid the stress impact on joints from aerobics, dancing or walking. Do a few laps at a slow crawl - if you can get up to an hour you'll be doing great! Burn: 510 calories.
• If you love gardening, that’s good. Just get out into your garden!! An hour of gardening tasks that includes bending and stretching is also kind of weight loss exercise. It can burn up to as many calories as a brisk walk. Burn: 250 calories.
• Play a game of tennis. Hook up with a friend for a weekly tennis game and you'll be amazed at the difference. One hour of vigorous tennis is one of the best calorie burners around. Burn: 800 calories

It’s important to keep in mind that all exercise/calorie numbers are based on a woman weighing 130 pounds. If you weigh more, you'll burn more. Want an added bonus to burning calories through exercise? When you exercise, you build muscle by converting it from fat. Three guesses which kind of body tissue burns more calories - even when you're not exercising. You got it - your body uses more energy to maintain and feed muscle than it does fat. For best results, mix and match food savings with any weight loss exercises.
