Games Aren’t Just for Kids

There are a handful of video games, including Wii Fit and EA Sports Active, that can make weight loss interactive, personalized, and more enjoyable. They also offer a wide range of exercises, from yoga to cardio, which can be done in the comfort of your own home.

Put On Your Dancing Shoes

Grab some friends and get your groove on!  Fast-paced, upbeat dancing can burn as much as 350 calories an hour!

Tone Up While Tuning In

If you’re anything like most Americans, you probably have a favorite television show every night of the week.  Why not get toned while watching them?  Using small, hand-held weights, do curls, squats, lunges, and lifts just during the commercial breaks.

Add More Food

That’s right…instead of getting rid of all the junk food you love, why not try adding more nutritious foods you enjoy instead?  If you’re filling up on healthy foods, you’re less likely to binge on the not-so-good stuff.

Exercise Your Green Thumb

Not only does planting a garden beautify your yard, but planting seeds, digging, wedding, mowing, and everything else that comes with gardening can burn as much as 450 calories every hour!

Stay Sober

Alcohol may be fat-free but it’s loaded with empty calories and offers no nutritional value.  It can also raise your levels of cortisol, the pesky stress hormone associated with belly fat, so skip the cocktails!

Do Some Extra Laps

Around the mall, that is.  To squeeze a little extra exercise into your day, park as far as you can from the entrance take a few extra laps carrying all your shopping bags.

Couple Up

Your workout efforts can be twice as effective if you simply add a friend; it’ll keep you motivated and spice up your workout!  Take fun aerobic classes, do yoga, or go jogging together.

Drink More H2O

Drinking more water can help you lose more weight a couple of ways.  First, when you’re even slightly dehydrated, your body stores more water weight because it’s trying to conserve the water it already has.  Second, drinking water can help you feel more full and stave off hunger.

Take a Weight Loss Pill

A weight loss supplement, such as Akavar 2050, can be a powerful tool to shed additional pounds if you’re already exercising and eating healthy.
