How's your resolution doing?! Try getting Creative!

If you want to lose weight, you have to work out regularly. The reality is that if you don’t burn more calories than you consume, you will have a more challenging time losing weight. The most direct way to burn calories is through cardio. On the other hand, it’s easy to get bored if all you do is run on the treadmill. Even if you like to run, the lack of changing scenery, the monotonous plodding of your feet on the deck, and the slow rate at which the numbers change can be frustrating.


Think about getting more creative with your cardio workouts. Even if you like going to the gym, there are other machines you can use. For example, you may want to try the aerobic bike, rowing machine, or elliptical. Most gyms have so many cardio machines you can use a different one every day. By switching up your routine from time to time, you will prevent yourself from getting bored. That way, you keep up the calorie burn without getting frustrated with yourself.


Of course, the benefits of cardio have been backed up by medical studies. In one study, researchers followed a group of participants who were trying to lose weight. The groups kept their diet the same but varied their exercise sessions. The results showed that the participants who performed cardio regularly instead of alternative exercise forms ended up losing more weight than the other groups, according to Obesity.


If you have difficulty sticking with exercise for more than a few minutes, remember you can turn on the TV when you are doing cardio. That may help you take your mind off of the act of exercise, allowing you to focus on something else while you burn calories. Simply turn on your favorite TV show and get to work! This will help you with your New Year’s resolution weight loss success.
