Thinking about starting a fitness routine and losing some weight?

 

Starting a fitness routine

Here are some ideas about doing it the right way:

You can do cardio workouts such us walking, jogging, biking or swimming and it only takes 20-30 minutes to receive a good cardiovascular benefit.You should keep your heart rate at about 50-65% of your maximum.

You can determine your heart rate with this simple formula

220-your age= maximum heart rate

Example: if you are 25 years old that would be:

220-25=195                 your maximum heart rate is 195

Now when you have determined your maximum heart rate you can easily determine at what rate you should keep your heart pumping

Example: 50% of 195 is 98 and

65% of 195 is 127

So this means that you should keep your heart rate between 98 and 127 BPM (Beats Per Minute)

If you do this 3-4 times a week you will burn enough calories to lose weight and some inches ;)

Notes: If you are a beginner start with 20 minutes then increase the time up to 30 minutes and hold the same pace.

If you can not hold your pace for that long walk to catch your breath then continue running

Tips: after your cardio you should do you crunches or sit-ups for best results

Also you should eliminate fried foods and cheese as well as processed sugar (example: sodas,cookies,candy) and you should drink at least three liters of water per day

Good luck ;)
