“Lose weight and get fit”

– Is this your New Year’s resolution?

Well for most Australians it is, fitness and weight loss goals are statistically Australia’s number one New Year’s resolution. Despite this over half of Australia is overweight or obese, so somewhere along the line for many people this “goal” becomes a distant “dream” that repeats itself every New Years Eve.

So how come so many people fail to achieve their New Year’s resolution? In our experience it has a lot to do with not solving the problems they ran into on their last attempt.

If you are a woman in your early forties, with no time for yourself, it is important to understand how strength training can help you. A routine workout focused on cardio may help burn the calories but for a better toned body and increased stamina, it is advisable to include a few strength training exercises as well. The term simply refers to any exercise that requires your muscles to work harder than usual. Performing such exercises for 30 minutes a few days a week, will give you great results. It helps build better endurance and increases the strength of your muscles too which means that you put lesser effort into your daily tasks. As you age, strength training keeps you fit by promoting blood circulation, better coordination and bone strength. So get ready to live up your better years!

We live in a world of easy solutions. There are diets and pills which guarantee weight loss, herbal products which claim to burn fat and so on. If you are serious about losing weight , then the long road of a balanced diet combined with an intensive workout regime, is the best one to take. Weight loss may not be instant, but it gives your body the time to adapt and show long lasting results. Adopting a workout routine that is a mix of cardio and weights will help tone up the body faster. Choose a diet plan that focuses on the right portions and gives you a helping from each food group. You will feel the difference once you take the first steps towards a healthier you.

Take a good look around your home. There are many physical activities that you can do, to burn calories and keep your place clean at the same time.
