WALKING
Although walking is part of a persons every day life, it is often underestimated in terms of physical exercise, walking opposed to being manually driven around so forth may serve as one of the first steps toward a healthier lifestyle.
The American Heart Association and the National Institutes of Health consider it the best form of exercise a person can do due to benefits such as low-cost, low-impact aerobic exercise, an exercise that can be done almost anywhere even indoors. For those that are morbidly obese, exercise such as walking may still be difficult and or uncomfortable; this is when appliances such as walking canes can come in useful. The good news however is that walking burns a lot more calories for those carrying the extra kilos, as they have to use more energy. So weight loss from walking would be higher than to that of somebody with an average or low BMI.
EXERCISE BALL WORKOUTS
Abdominal exercise equipment found in gyms can be challenging to use for those who carry excess fat around their abdominal. Nevertheless, it is imperative stomach muscles are busy in order to accelerate the weight loss development in that region. Stomach fat also known as visceral fat, is unsafe to a person’s health as it is principally made up of hormone and stress-secreting fat cells, which deteriorates an individual’s heart health. Fitness balls (make sure you select a burst-resistant ball that has been specifically designed to bear at much as 1020 kilos) can be utilized for abdominal crunches by lying on your back, resting your ankles onto the ball, and ascending upwards using your core with both arms behind your head.
AQUA AEROBICS
Exercising in the water is an extremely beneficial tactic for obese people trying to lose weight; the water makes you feel a lot lighter and also decreases the impact on joints, it also good for easing any discomfort or pain you may be in due to excess weigh. Gyms often incorporate water based classes in to there schedules, so have a look at your local gym and see what is available, alternatively buy some foam water weights, speak to a professional and create your own classes!
SEATED STATIONARY BIKE
Otherwise known, as the recumbent stationary bike, this bike differs to a standard bike as a backrest is provided, this is useful for overweight people, as there stomach muscles are sometimes not developed enough to hold them upright for a long duration of time. Riding an exercise bike also employs different muscles than walking or running does. It is advisable that somebody over weight should alternate between walking and biking in order to strengthen as many muscles as possible.
GROUP EXERCISE CLASSES
Working with other people will encourage you to meet and even surpass goals you have made for yourself, more often than not makes you work harder and take on more of a positive & competitive attitude. People generally tend to make friendships and relationships at these sorts of classes due to the small groups and similar goals; this therefore builds a support system for oneself. Additionally developing a relationship with the trainer in your class can be the motivation you need to push harder, this is also why many people employ personal trainers as this ensures 1 on 1 training and generally leads to better results.
