Weight Loss: How to Lose Weight Without Exercising

Implementing Exercise Into Your Diet Plan or Weight Loss Program

Can you lose weight without exercising?You bet!

Well....can you exercise without losing weight? You bet!

Well then....can you exercise and still gain weight? You bet!

Well, at least we're honest, which is more than can be said for most of Diet Mania these days.

So yes, you can lose weight without exercising AND if you eat too much even while exercising, you won't lose weight AND if you eat an overabundance of calories, you will gain weight even if you exercise.

BUT, you'd gain less weight than if you didn't exercise.

Cutting through the maze, and to be frank, 'exercise' is one of the biggest turnoffs in the Diet World. Rather than blow off the entire thought of dieting, try a bit of moderate exercise such as a brisk walk for 10 to 15 minutes per day.

Any activity that will get the heart rate up will do. The rewards are great; just ask your bathroom scales as well as your doctor at your next check-up.

If you find that you just can't tolerate exercise, maybe you're choosing an exercise that's not for you. Think about what you enjoy doing in life. Do you like to shop? Then go shopping - and shop until you drop. That's a form of exercise.

Do you like water? Swimming might be perfect for you. If you don't have a pool then check out the local clubs. Some have very inexpensive fees and you'll have free use of not only the pool but other gear and machines at the club that you may discover to your liking.

What about sports? Do you like basketball? What about shooting some hoops. Even flying a kite, cooking, planting flowers, and sewing burns calories and incorporates activity.

The key is to choose and activity that you enjoy - and that you'll stick with going forward.

Experts recommend exercising 30 minutes per day at least 5 times per week. Again, you need to get your heart rate up for maximum health benefits: stronger heart, stronger lungs, muscle tone, stronger bones just to name a few of those healthy benefits.
