Daily exercise made easy

When you decide you want to start losing weight it is important to choose both a diet and an exercise plan that you can fit easily into your life with minimal fuss. The Dukan diet is a great example of a diet that does this and do it yourself at home exercise is the cheapest and easiest way to ensure you exercise regularly.

The thought of having to get up and go out to the gym is sometimes enough to put people off exercising so if exercising at a gym is not your style then plan a week’s worth of exercise that you can easily incorporate into your life. Chores around the house will count as cardiovascular exercise, an hour of moderate household tasks can burn up to 170 calories, just 15 minutes of vacuuming can burn up to 43 calories and 15 minutes washing dishes can burn up to 22 calories. If you have a garden you can burn up to 102 calories watering plants or washing your car. Playing with animals and children is another all fun way you can burn calories during your everyday life without having to schedule in a gym visit or pay for expensive equipment.

If you want to take the exercise a step further you can dedicate some time each day to doing simple aerobic style exercises that can be done in the house. Lunges, star jumps, press ups and sit ups can all be done easily, as can squats and chair sits. You can use tinned foods or bottles of water as weights so you can tone and strengthen you arms. If you need more inspiration to exercise then you can always purchase a fitness DVD and dedicate just half an hour a day to doing it in your living room, without having to step out of the front door.

It’s important to eat well to fuel your exercise and get the most from your workout. The Dukan diet is a great option for those looking to lose weight or tone up thanks to the list of unlimited 100 foods which are ‘free’, meaning you can indulge in them as often as you want. If you are hungry after a work out you can snack on meats, chicken or seafood. You can use your free vegetables to make a free chicken salad or go online to the Dukan coaching pages for recipe ideas and inspiration. As the pages are regularly updated and offer a wealth of information you need never feel unmotivated or alone on the diet. By eating little and often you will ensure you are never hungry and have the energy to exercise and continue losing weight. You will be surprised at how easy you find to incorporate it into your life.
