Alternative Therapies

1. Get inspired and set up a goal: Get inspired by all those super bods around you who are fit and healthy, you too can get a great body like them, if you have enough motivation to get in shape. Set up a realistic goal that you can accomplish, like losing 5 pounds by the end of this January, and 7 more pounds by the end of Feb etc. Then plan towards achieving it by making necessary changes in yoor exercise regimen and eating habits. Imagine yourself in your fav. dresses that you can wear once you lose all that extra weight.

2. Join a good gym where your friends also workout: Join a gym where your friends too workout, then you will be more puntual in attending the gym atleast for the sake of hanging around with your friends. Set up a challenging atmosphere where each one of you competes to get in shape. Don’t join a gym full of model and athlete types, because even if you lose 5 pounds, nobody is peobably gonna notice your hardwork.

3. Find a time that suits you: If you hate getting up early in the mornings, don’t fret. You can as well work out late in the afternoon. Also your muscle strength is highest at this time.

4. Tell everyone that you are gymming: When the whole world knows that you are going to lose 15 kilos by May, you will work harder just to save face.

5. Get your mom to nag you: Even if everybody forgets your new year resolution, your mom probably won’t and she can keep nagging you to get in shape. If you live with your partner, get him/her to nag you. Sounds crazy, but this works …

6. Prove your guy/girl wrong: You boyfriend/girlfriend probably thinks you would remain fat forever, prove him/her wrong by losing all that extra flab and getting your dream bod. This will motivate you to get going and not lose hope when the rsults are not showing fast enough as you expected.

7. Choose a routine that you like: Make exercise something that you like doing. If you don’t like all those yoga poses, then ditch the yogic trip and step on your machines.

8. Join a group: Even if there are no friends at your gym, join a group. This reassures you that you are not alone in your quest for a slimmer bod. And it will be harder for you to cheat or give up when you have several fat-fighters with you.

9. Make exercising fun: Play some cool music when you workout. Apart from regular gymming, be more active physically by cycling, bike riding, swimming, playing soccer and tennis.

10. Walk everyday: Apart from exercising, walk everyday briskly for atleast 30 to 45 minutes, early in the mornings or evenings. Or walk with your friends, this can be fun and healthy at the same time.
