Weight Loss Program

Are you still trying to lose those last 10 pounds you vowed to lose last summer? Bikini season is almost here again, so don’t give up now. You can say farewell to that baby fat with a post natal exercise plan that actually boosts your metabolism. The best part is, losing 10 pounds is easier than you think. Here’s how a few small changes will help you achieve your fitness goals.

Calorie Count

Losing weight is simple math. You need to have a deficit of 3,500 calories to lose one pound. To lose ten pounds in six weeks, you must take in 5,250 few calories each week. Sound like alot? It is if you eat the wrong foods Wednesday - Sunday and try to diet only on Monday &Tuesday, it’s just not going to work. If you think of the way you eat as a life change and not a diet, things will be a lot easier, and the weight you take off will stay off.

Easier than you think!

You need roughly 750 fewer calories per day. If you hit the trail and run or bike, you will burn about 350 calories. Then all you have to do is eat 300 fewer calories per day. A change as small as that, is only choosing half of the bagel in the morning with cream cheese instead of a whole one to make up the difference.

Choose Your Cardio

When choosing your form of exercise, make sure you pick something you really enjoy. Here are some examples of some exercises you may want to try:

To Burn 350 calories you would have to:

• Walk briskly for 70 minutes
• Roller blade for 50 minutes
• Run (8 mph) for 40 minutes
• Stair-climb for 40 minutes
• Weight- train for 116 min
• Kick-box for 35 min
• High-impact aerobics for 50 minutes

By cutting back the calories in your diet and finding something to do aerobically every day, you will shed those last 10 pounds just in time for summer, and you can wear that bikini you’ve had your eye on.
