It's no wonder, that with all the modern conveniences that society has to offer we have become a nation of overweight people. The rate of overweight Americans has climbed steadily as technology has made life easier. With that in mind, here are a few natural weight loss ideas. With just a few simple changes in our daily routine, you can lose a few extra pounds.
1) Buy a bicycle, and use it for short trips to visit friends or to pick up a few items at the store.
2) Don't try to find the nearest parking spot to whatever store or event you are visiting. Isn't it funny, how people going to a health club spend lots of time trying to find a parking space close to the entrance! You'll burn a few extra calories and save some time by parking further away.
3) If your kids play a sport take a brisk walk around the park or field during their warm ups. This will help keep you warm while you are waiting. Take another players parents with you.. It's a great way to get to know someone new.
4) Speed clean. Raking leaves? Sweeping the floor? Time yourself and see if you can beat your time the next time you do the same cleaning project. This works great on your weekly or daily cleaning rituals. I would not suggest this when cleaning the toilet!
5) Try speed walking when your taking your dog for a walk. It's great exercise and your dog will enjoy the faster pace.
6) Every time a commercial comes on while your watching T.V. get up and just move around. Maybe a few sit ups, push ups, or see how many times you can walk to the other side or your house or apartment.
7) Make up your own list of natural weight loss ideas based on the ordinary things you do every day. With a little thought you'll be able to come up with some clever ways to help you burn a few extra calories.
