Aqua-Aerobics-1_920x550.jpg

 

Gone are the days when the only thing people do in swimming pools is simple swimming through the swimming lane. Presently, there is a new wave of swimming exercise currently receiving increased popularity in America and across Europe. That swimming exercise is known as aqua-fitness (popularly called aerobics).  There has been recent talks that aqua-fitness is linked to weight loss. The question now begging for answer is, how does aqua-fitness help in weight loss? The rest of this article is going to tackle this question head on.

 

Exercising in water forces your muscles to work harder which helps your body burn fat fast.  As you move in water, you are directly fighting against the resistance of water, and of course, you are fighting with your strength.  This releases out energy from your body and helps you burn a lot of calories as well.  It even burns more calories than some other forms of exercise on dry land. For instance, dry land jogging burns about 6 calories per minute. However, aqua-jogging burns approximately 11 calories within the same time frame.

 

Additionally, as you exercise on water, the water pressure on your legs sends more blood to your upper body part, making your heart increase its work rate. This surely raises your heartbeat and even burns more calories in the body.

Just like the normal exercise, aqua-fitness helps you reduce your stress levels.  Stress reduces the ability of the body to burn fat. Anyone who is stressed out will find it more difficult to lose weight. With aerobics, stress can be controlled, which gives your body a boost to lose bulk.

So if you are considering adding some aqua exercise to your fitness routine, it’s a very nice idea. You can speed up your weight loss process while improving your overall health.

One of the most difficult things in life is being able to change from doing things you are used to. These things are called habits, and keeping some of them might not be helpful. There are many reasons why a lot of people find it very difficult to lose weight. One of those reasons is their inability to stop those habits that encourage fat gain in the body. Many have actually reached their dieting goals by breaking some of the habits working against them in their quest to lose weight. If you are looking to cut down on your calories and stay very fit, below are some habits you have to break to burn fat fast.

Taking fizzy drinks

Fizzy drinks are addictive and most of them are not healthy for the body. They contain a lot of sugar and take out the body’s ability to control appetite.  If you are looking for something that can keep you full without risking adding more calories in your body, there are so many options for you.   Plain water, flavored water or herbal tea can be substituted for sugary drinks.

Drinking alcohol

Drinking alcohol is one of the habits you have to break to lose weight fast.  Apart from health reasons, alcohol has a domino effect in the body. After the first drink, you are more likely to take another drink, which contributes to the overall level of calories in your body. Apart from that, your appetite for food increases when you take alcohol. You will eat more food and become careless towards your fitness goal.

Skipping breakfast

So many people have trained their body to stay without food in the morning. Interestingly, that is the best time your body will need food to work. If you are serious about losing weight, your body needs to stay at optimal performance in terms of metabolism and digestion. And the food you eat in the morning is highly needed for proper functioning of the digestive system of the body. Again, you are more likely to eat more than necessary if you eat after subjecting your body to hunger. So, if you have the habit of skipping breakfast to control your weight, you may not be helping yourself. Instead, eat healthy foods in the morning to give your body the proper balance for digestion.

  • Understand your body need– In the initial stages itself find out what you are aiming to get out of this program. For example, do you only want to lose your extra weight or you need some toning and muscle build up too? The choice of the perfect weight loss program would be dependent on what your expectations are.
  • Analyse each program– Though there are multiple ways to lose weight fast the most effective ones are diet and exercise. You need to analyse each one of them to know which program would give the kind of results you want. For strength training and body building, it is obvious that you would have to exercise daily. However, if you want to only lose weight and that too without any time limits then controlling your diet should work for you.
  • Reliability of the program– It is possible that the diet program you are looking to take up may only be a fad selling false claims. Go through the details of the program carefully to know whether the program is actually genuine. If you are taking up a gym package then you might have to understand what kind of results you can receive. Sometimes the results are quick for some but delayed for others.

  • Read the online review- Losing weight is tough these days and if you want to be successful at it then you need to select a method which will work best for you. If it is a popular diet loss program then finding and reading online reviews will give you the lead you need to finalize the decision. Apart from that even for a gym program, you can consult the existing users to know if it is suitable for your kind of need. Often there are possibilities of a lot of false claims being made and checking reviews eliminates the ones that cannot be trusted.
  • Trial method- Instead of taking a plunge instantly you can also opt for a free trial of a month or so. If you see the kind of results that you were looking at then go ahead and pursue it further. However, if the results are few and far between then do not renew the subscription as this program is not suitable for your requirements.

If you keenly intend on losing the weight then understand the value of time and patience. No results can show in a week or so. The pounds will take their own time to disappear. This would be largely dependent on the type of exercise you do and your body type. Instead of losing the faith work hard and see how you can lose weight the optimum way.

We all want to lose weight but does that mean that we cannot go to restaurants and eat to our capacity? Most people who go on a diet have a strict problem managing the calories and hence they stop all their trips to restaurants for fear of over eating. However, if you are careful enough you do not have to worry about that. Just keep the following things in mind.

  • Eat normal- In a normal situation, anyone would want to keep themselves famished since morning so that they can enjoy food in the restaurant. This though is not a very good idea because being very hungry would force you to binge on things which are not good for your weight loss. Eat normally and when you reach the restaurant restrict your consumption to smaller portions so that the impact is not much.
  • Analyse the menu- If you are serious about losing weight fast you would be careful about what you are going to eat. Just go through what the menu has to offer you. Look for dishes which have descriptions with words baked, broiled, grilled, steamed and poached. Not only will such dishes be healthy the oil used in preparing them would be good too. Avoid dishes which say rich, creamy, decadent, premium, cheesy, loaded or buttery as they are probably too high on the calories.

  • Opt for balancing- Instead of going for only one kind of dish try to balance your platter. Combining proteins with healthy carbs and veggies aids your digestion and you stay full for a longer period of time. This makes you stay away from food for some time hence keeping your weight loss process in control.
  • Get the dish changed- Supposing you spot a seemingly delicious dish you would like to eat and it involves the use of white bread which is otherwise too high on the calories. The solution is just asking them to replace the white bread with brown. If there is mayo in your dish you can always ask the chef to skip it when giving it to you. No restaurant has a problem doing such modifications and if you are looking to lose fat then you should follow this tip.
  • Be assertive- Though this may sound a little rude if you are focussed on losing fat fast then nobody would mind. Place your food order before anyone else. Doing that would prevent others from influencing your choice and some of them may even support you in the quest to eat healthily. Don’t wait for others to take the lead else you would also end up getting convinced into buying something not worth eating on a diet.

Keeping your weight loss at the target is not so much a herculean task as it seems. By following the above mentioned restaurant rules you would ensure that the weight is under check and you are able to relish an outside meal too. Stay away from going on a guilt trip later on as that might break your staying fit resolve completely.
