In a perfect world, we would all be in great shape and look sexy every day for the rest of our lives. "I know right?" The problem is, we don't live in a perfect world and I'm not sure that it's possible to look sexy every day for the rest of our lives.
There are some things that we can do to improve our appearance, bring back the sexy (or improve it), a few of which are:
1. Home training that consist of H.I.I.T. (High Intensity Interval Training).
2. Eat small nutrient dense meals every 2.5 to 3 hours.
3. Get a good night sleep, since a lack of sleep slows down your metabolism.
4. Leave the junk food alone.
5. Drink plenty of pure fresh water.
6. Avoid stress, since it will create havoc on the immune system.
7. Have fun, I know this one probably caught you off guard, but having fun burns calories and keeps our metabolism operating in a healthy range.
Now there are other things we can do, but let's focus on the home workouts. You see us middle-aged people don't always get enough exercise and since we lead busy lives, home workouts are not only convenient, but sometimes they're the only way we can get a workout in.
So what are some ways to workout at home, or what types of workouts can we do? Before I answer that just let me say that, we need a variety of exercises, training methods and resources that we can use to keep us focused and moving towards our goals.
Home Workout Resources:
1. Workout Videos or DVD's
2. Online Training Programs or Membership Websites
3. In-home Personal Trainers
4. Exercise Programs on TV
5. Training Equipment: weights, jump rope, resistance bands, heavy bag, speed bag, kettlebells etc.
High Intensity Home Workouts
1. Boxing Fitness styled workouts
2. Kickboxing styled workouts
3. Resistance Band Interval Training
4. Bodyweight exercises done in intervals
5. Kettlebell workouts done in intervals
6. Sprints
Now learning all you can about these types of workouts would be a great way to add some variety to your fitness toolbox. Just imagine if you had five of each type of high intensity home workout listed above (not counting sprints). That would be 25 different workouts, plus you could still use the other resources to create even more variety.
When you embark on a journey you should be ready to reach your journey. It's no different for middle-aged people when it comes to training at home for weight loss. You have to prepare--BEFORE--jumping into a home workout. Plan for success by having a successful plan.
Oh, by the way. One of the best types of home workouts for losing fat is known as H.I.I.T. or High Intensity Interval Training.
