Start Working Out

Although weight loss surgery is a fad nowadays nothing beats exercise, along with a healthy eating plan in losing weight.


As a professional fitness trainor, I always recommend Interval Walking and the Total-Body Workout, which you can do on alternate days. Research has found that if you incorporate exercise into your daily routine you’ll not only rev up your metabolism and lose weight faster (getting off those frustrating weight-loss plateaus), you’ll also tone your body and take inches off your waistline. If you have never exercised before, you can work at a very easy pace until you feel confident moving ahead. If you’re very fit, there are exercise variations that make the program more challenging. The really good news is that a 20-minute-a-day program, will definitely see better results in far less time than you would in a typical hour of steady-state exercise.


Interval Walking
*Designed to give your heart and lungs a great workout, which is vital for cardiovascular health
*Involves alternating periods of fast or very fast walking with periods of slower recovery walking
*Boosts metabolism so you burn more calories and fat, which translates to faster weight loss
*Results in increased fat and calorie burn even after you’re done exercising


Total-Body Workout
*Designed to work several muscle groups simultaneously
*Focuses on exercises that strengthen your core — the vital muscles in your abdomen, back, pelvis, and hips
*Promotes balance, stability, good posture, and coordination
*Tones your arms and legs and increases your flexibility
