Losing weight without exercise is just a pipedream. Sooner or later, you are going to end up realizing that all the trouble you took to deny yourself that fun party or mouthwatering pie was for nothing! If you want to lose weight naturally, fast and long term, get real. Do as much exercise as you can.

Now, we all hate the thought of spending hours in a gym, tied to a piece of equipment that looks like a torture machine. Besides, in realistic terms, achieving your weight loss and fitness goals should not be expensive or time consuming. The following free exercise plans are for those of you who can spare five or ten minutes in between schedules for a quick workout.

So, let us get on with the free exercise plans.

Warning: Before you attempt any exercise, consult a physician to make sure that you are completely fit.

Exercise #1:

Been too long on that computer chair? Stand behind the chair, and place your leg on it. Now lean towards your leg. Stop when you feel the burn. Great for the thigh and increases flexibility.

Exercise #2:

Sit on a rug with your legs folded so that both feet are facing each other. Now raise your knees and flap them up and down. Great for the lower back.

Exercise #3:

Lie down on a rug with your back straight. Raise your leg to a forty five degree angle and count till five. Bring it down. Raise the other leg and repeat. Repeat ten times. Great for the stomach.

Exercise #4:

Sit ups are a great way to burn fat and stay trim. Just find something to hold your feet while you pull your upper body up. Repeat as many times as you can in two minute cycles.

Exercise #5:

Push ups are another great way to tone up and burn fat. Best of all, you don’t need any equipment to do them.

Exercise #6:

Lie on your stomach resting your head on your forehead. Slowly raise your head and feet off the ground. Feel the burn in your lower stomach. Hold your breath till the count of five and exhale. Repeat.

One round of these easy-to-do exercises is enough to give you more than 15 minutes of wholesome exercise per day.

However, these exercises alone are not enough if you have a fairly large amount of fat to burn. In that case, you should seriously consider High Intensity Interval Training Exercises . These exercises are easy, they burn fat faster and more effectively than aerobic or muscle training exercises and they are not boringly repetitive.
