This is a question that keeps popping up everywhere you look. And the most amazing thing is that almost everyone has put their wisdom on this subject. But somehow, people keep looking for the best exercises; which means either the two-bit information being doled out isn’t really effective or people don’t really want to subscribe to it for one reason or another.
So what seems to be the problem? The problem actually lies in the fact that most people want the easiest way out of their overweight dilemma.
Have you seen the number of weight loss supplements being marketed on the World Wide Web? The companies that manufacture, distribute, and market these supplements are doing a brisk business because people want the short cut, rather than the long road. But the thing is, none of these supplements offer permanent solutions for weight loss or fat loss. And if you read product labels or product details, you can see that the guide still recommends that the person go on a diet and subscribe to weight loss exercises. If this sounds like a scam to you, it probably is.
According to health providers, fitness trainers, and weight loss experts, the best exercises for weight loss are those that a person is forced to do regularly because that person really wants to do them, without complaint. Sure, that person can get those sculpted abs by doing extreme crunches and other ab exercises, but is that person willing to do these 20 minutes every day, for the next 6 months…or longer?
Many people subscribe to an exercise regimen for an average of 2 weeks to 2 months and then lose interest in it. Why? It’s not because the person isn’t dedicated to their weight loss program; it’s just that the person doesn’t enjoy or even look forward to the exercises at hand. And that alone can defeat the purpose of acquiring a sustainable training program. Once a person begins to dislike (or just hate) exercise, he finds more reasons not to do it at all.
Therefore, experts recommend that the person find a rhythm that they can work with. Starting small has many benefits because the person can take a step forward once he finds an enjoyable activity. Walking is always a good place to start, especially for people who are not in their best physical shape. A person does not have to buy a treadmill to be able to walk. Walking around the block, walking the dog to the park, or just window shopping at the mall for 2 hours can also be considered exercise. Hiking or trail walking are also low-impact exercises that many people also enjoy. The bottom line here is that the best possible exercises for weight loss are activities that the person will do, do regularly, and enjoy their time doing them.
