20+ Free Weight Loss Ideas
1) Counting calories sucks, so don't do it. Eat a portion sized serving only. When you order a large portion of something, save the rest of it for later or for another meal. The food will not vanish! 2) Mop your floors. It burns calories and uses many muscle groups. A clean floor isn’t so bad either. Just be careful of your knees if you're scrubbing it instead. 3) Instead of letting the dog out to roam the yard, take the dog for a walk. 4) Some foods, like celery and apples have negative calories. Since they are low calorie to begin with, you will burn more calories than they have simply by chewing them. 5) When you watch TV, lie on your back and do some leg lifts or some isometrics with your arms while watching. 6) Instead of riding elevators or escalators, take the stairs. 7) Instead of going out to dinner, go out and walk, bicycle ride, or even play pool. 8) Snacking on vegetables fills you up quicker and has more substantial than snacking on sugary treats. 8) Instead of plopping down on the couch during "One Life to Live", do some house chores or better yet go for a nice brisk walk. 10) Too much sugar is dehydrating to your body. Avoid dehydration by drinking water and staying away from sweets. Those are the enemy if you're trying to lose weight. 11) Jog up and down stairs in your house if there is no park near you live.
12) Instead of sitting back and watching your children play, get on the floor and play with them. 13) At the supermarket park farther away from the door as you usually would. Take a couple extra laps around the market too if you have the time. 14) Make an attempt to walk to work or school if it is not too far away. You can do this everyday or just twice a week. 15) Pack your lunch instead of buying one out. 16) Eat smaller meals several times a day. 17) Never skip a meal. It can really mess with your metabolism. It will also cause you to overeat later on in the day and that makes you fat. 18) At work, instead of taking coffee breaks, take walk breaks! 19) Cut the grass with a push mower. 20) Drink lots of water to help keep you hydrated. 1) If possible, join a gym or get a group together to shoot hoops or throw a frisbee. 21) Make sure you are getting enough sleep. As little as it seems, 7 and a half hours of sleep a night is just right. 22) If you take the bus or the subway, stand in the aisle and let someone else have your seat. 23) Try to have a good serving of each food group a day. 24) Learn which foods are considered healthy foods and then eat healthy meals! 24) Cut back on drinking fluids when you eat! Fill up on nutritious foods and then drink something. Or better yet, fill up on water first, then eat a meal. You'll fill up faster and won't be as tempted (or able) to overeat!
