So you want to lose weight and get in shape, but you don’t want to go to a gym. Maybe you have researched how to lose weight fast from home and found people suggesting getting some exercise but haven’t found any advice on what exercise to look into. Well then this is for you. Want to get fit and lose some weight from home? don’t know what to do? Here are three ways that you can start working out from the comfort of your own home, and it doesn’t have to cost much either.
1. Stability ball exercises
there are countless exercises you can do with one of those and a stability ball workout engages your entire body in a way that a bench press can not. If you sit on a bench press and lift weights the surface that you sit on is flat and stationary, which allows you to (cheat), but when you’re exercising with a fitness ball you don’t have that option because the ball moves so you have to engage your entire body to keep your balance and that strengthens your body in a proportional and healthy way. You have to engage your balance and strength to keep the ball still, and since you have to engage more muscles to keep from rolling of the ball, you get a more authentic and natural workout. With or without weights you can get good exercise with a stability ball and they’re not expensive.
2. Get a plank exercise routine
To “plank” is also a natural way to strengthen your body and burn fat, I know this one is a good way to get rid of stomach fat because I have personally seen it do wonders. You can do this at home, start of soft do not overextend yourself. You will get stronger and you can increase your plank exercise time every workout day that you do, or every week. Start where you are at, if 30 seconds is all you can do for now, start there and increase the length of your workouts as you get stronger, if you can start with 2 minutes, do so. Be careful not to overextend yourself. You can even do a stability ball plank if you have a ball.
3. Learn how to do Qi Gong
This is a great form of physical as well as mental exercise, it is like a moving meditation and it feels really good to do it. It is similar to tai ji (Tai chi) but not quite the same, tai ji is a martial art but qigong is specifically for health. If someone would ask “whats better for weight loss qi gong or tai ji”? I would probably say qigong because in taiji the belly doesn’t get much exercise, in tai ji you are supposed to move from the belly, but the spine is quite straight throughout the forms so a lot of tai chi practitioners have beer bellies. You can do qigong from the comfort of your home and it’s so soft and gentle that even seniors can do it.
