Losing Weight

George Spence asked:


There are many folks who want to blitz off the extra kilos and lose weight around the stomach. But do you have the time to tone up your physique and spare or dedicate many hours every day? In real life, we still need to go to work/school and look after our family, friends and social life. The average person can’t be at the gym everyday for 2 hours.

And besides all that, the workouts contain workout routines that will not work our body in a useful way but just pile on a lot of bulk. Unless you would like to build a lot of muscle, you should be wary of the traditional workout.

Of course, when it comes to body building, the dumbbells and machines in most gyms are the right choice. But for general fitness and weight loss goals, there are other alternatives which should be considered.

Most of us can just about squeeze 15 – 30 minutes a day to attain our exercise goals so it is a case of making the most of the little time available to you. It is possible to shape up, lose weight and blitz the fat belly and realize your fitness goals.

This workout I am about to divulge to you is a great way of improving your all round fitness. It will tone and shape you in the right areas and you will lose pounds. It may seem a little out of the ‘normal’ range but stick with it. It will surprise you.

I want to share with you a workout that I do personally that delivers a great combination of strength, flexibility, cardio and muscular endurance, and fat burning.

Perform this routine without resting in between the sets. If you feel you need to rest to start with, make the breaks as short as possible. If you feel any of the exercises are too much at the start, that’s OK. Just do less in the first few workouts and then gradually build up the numbers.

1. Standard jumping jacks – as many as possible for 1 minute

2. Squats, just using your body weight – 20 of these

3. Standard push-ups – as many as you can in 1 minute

4. Jogging on the spot (bring your knees right up) – 1 minute

5. Lie down on tummy, arms out to the side, lift legs chest and arms off floor – 20 times

6. Lunge – 20 times

7. Twisting the torso (rotate from the tummy) 20 times each direction

8. Side bends – 20 dips each side

9. Wall sit – for as long as possible

10. Dips (just use a chair or bench) – as many as you can for 1 minute


Most of these exercises are common ones. If you don’t know what they look like, type the name into a search engine to find more information or ask a buddy.

Although it looks simple, you need to be able to do this routine 3 times through without a pause in between each exercise.

This simple exercises will give you better results quicker than needing to go to the gym. You can perform this workout in the park or anywhere you wish. It is completely portable.
Feel free to personalize this workout. You may wish to do more of one and less of another exercise. That’s fine. Mix it up to keep it interesting. Try different ways of dong the routine and keep it fresh.
