Losing weight through sports

Which sport is best suited for losing weight? Is it possible to lose weight without exercise? These are questions that are asked by lots of people, but there are also a lot of good answers on these questions.

Which sports make you slim?

Basically losing weight without sport is possible, but with sports it will be quicker. It is simply not enough to feed yourself properly if you want to become your ideal figure. Also sports has many benefits, and should ofcourse not be viewed as being terrrible. Sports enhances your well-being, makes you happy and improves the quality of life. This is nice ofcourse, but which sport is the most suitable for our weight loss goal? How often and how long should the workouts take?

Not all sports are suitable for the goal of accelerated fat burning.
Basically you can say that sports with long periods of stress and low heart rate our fat melts faster than with short intense workouts. This means that, especially the following endurance training are ideal:

Jogging
Walking
Cycling

For people who like to be in the water, you can reduce their weight with these sports:

Endurance swimming
Aqua Fitness
Aqua jogging

These sports are ideal for fitness beginners as well as overweight people, because they protect the joints.

How long should you train in order to lose weight at all?

This applies to the burning of fat: the longer the better. However, one should keep in mind that you can do only sports as long as it makes you feel good. Because the next training session also still be fun. If you push yourself too hard, you might not be motivated to get started the next time around.  You will only lose weight if you do your exercises regularly.
How often should I workout?

To lose weight you should do workouts sessions 2 to 4 times per week. One advantage of regular exercise is the increasing intensity of burning fat. Repeating long-term stress of the body, for example jogging, after a few weeks these stresses lead to an increase in the activity of lipolytic enzymes in the fat cells and muscles and increase efficiency. This means there is more fat burned per workout than at the beginning of the training phase.

2. Eat more fruits and vegetables

This is easy. Make sure that you eat every lunch half a plate with fresh vegetables, for instance: a few slices of cucumber, a tomato, a green paprika and perhaps half a peeled carrot. You can even refine the taste with a healthy salad dressing. If you get hungry, grab an apple, a banana or even a pear.

3. Never go shopping on an empty stomach

Before buying food you should eat something – a healthy snack or a proper meal. You should never go shopping on an empty stomach. One tends to buy a lot more things if you are feeling hungry. And most of the time you will buy a lot of things that are not healthy, such as much fast food, sweets and ready meals.

4. Start with doing a sport

Slimming down through sport is one of the most effective ways to reduce weight. Sustained weight loss therefore requires a change in your current physical activities. Start slow, e.g. go every other day for a walk. Then go 3 times a week for fitness training or aerobics, Pilates or yoga. Go swimming. Swimming is not only good for weight loss, it strengthens the muscles of the entire body and the entire cardiovascular system. Important here is to do not too much at once, but rather to take things slow and get to know the joy of movement. The aim is to integrate the sport in the long term and regularly in your own life. Because losing weight through sports can only happen if you do it!

5. Mental outlook

With issue of easy weight loss, you should rather see it from the perspective of “health” view rather than “diet.” Because when you think of diet, you associate this with pain, struggle and sacrifice.
