Obesity is an illness that involves an accumulation of excess fat in the body. Obesity not only affects your health intensely but also poses more threat as one of the greatest risk factors to several life-threatening conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, stroke, type 2 diabetes, etc.
Exercise is one of the most efficient ways by which you can liberate yourself from this illness. Regularly committing yourself to workout sessions will surely yield results in the long run, and will you only need to be patient.
But the truth is that, most obese people today just stick to a particular type of exercise and are not willing to try different options. This article provides with a list of 4 different exercises that you can do that are efficiently ideal for burning calories, thereby treating obesity gradually.
1. Walking
This turns out to be the first choice for almost everyone. The fact that it seems easier than most others and less stressful, doesn’t affect its effectiveness in anyway.
Walking can be done anywhere and requires very little equipment. All you need are a good pair of sport shoes. This exercise improves strength and mobility in the lower body and has low impact on the joints.
You can start this training with 10 minutes walking at your normal pace, and another 15 minutes with an increased pace, making it a total of 25 minutes. This time can increase as time goes on.
2. Jogging
Just like walking, jogging has the ability to improve mobility and strength in the lower region of the body, and also enables your entire body eliminate unwanted calories. However, unlike walking, this exercise has a lot of impact on the joints so it’s always advisable to use equipment such as sport shoes and knee pads.
3. Aqua Jogging
This exercise has the same effect as jogging, but with lesser impact on the joints. It is simply running in water and requires more energy and force due to resistance from the water.
To go aqua jogging get yourself a buoyancy belt, then get to a deep pool and begin running. Make sure that your feet don’t touch the bottom of the pool when you’re aqua jogging. Since it might take a little more effort, you can start slowly.
4. Strength training
Strength training not only helps you build lean muscles, but also increases your metabolic rate so that you burn more calories throughout the day. Instead of weight lifting, you can start off with weight-training machines, to avoid loading too much impact onto your joints.
Conclusion
It is always advisable to begin working out in a less stressful way. As time goes on, you can gradually increase the intensity. Also don’t forget to set out at least one day for rest during the week as having enough rest (from exercise), is also essential for your weight loss.
