Put grueling diets and hard workouts in the back of your mind, because today we’re going to tell you how to lose excess weight without space and killer workouts in the fitness room.
5 rules you need to internalize for these 30 days
1. You need to consume 1.5-2 liters of water every day. Tea, coffee and other drinks don’t count, so you can’t cheat. We recommend starting every morning with a glass of water with lemon.
2. Fast food, bread, sweets? Forget about it, better eat fruit or salads, from which you will get much more benefit. If you want something sweet, do not deny yourself a piece of bitter chocolate. To avoid torturing yourself while going to the grocery store, just remember to eat before you go.
3. You should consume food on a schedule, at the same time. You should also snack between main meals. This way your body will be calm and you will be able to speed up your metabolism and not feel hungry.
4. Movement. You need to move. Take a walk, walk to work or take the escalator upstairs.
5. Remember, you should not think that you have already reached your desired weight. Imagine that proper nutrition and exercise are already part of your lifestyle. Enjoy life, be positive. The psychological attitude is very important. Remember that only what is important is what happens on a regular basis.
Workout plan for the month
Do your workouts every other day, for your body this will be the best option. Start with a warm-up: light jogging in place, torso bends to the left and right, squats (10-15 times) and random arm swings.
Now it’s time for the main workout. At first, do exercises in 2-3 approaches of 10-20 repetitions, the pause between approaches should not exceed two minutes. Gradually you should increase the load.
