Well howdy guys !! I hope you did not overdo it these past holidays. If you did then climb aboard because we are going to give you some good exercises to get that New Year blubber off your body ! : >)
1. Of course number one in my book is to go out and do some Running. Preferably if you can get on some softer trails the better. This will save your joints in the long run.
2. If Running is too much for ya right now then some good ole Walking can be the trick for you. Make it brisk and build it up starting out slower until you feel like you can go faster. Incidentally, Walking will take less toll on your joints and knees than Running does !!
3. Swimming indoors is a great activity to do and is as good as Running or Walking for burning the fat !! Stretch good before you do this activity both upper and lower body.
4. If you have access to a lake that is not frozen I would suggest trying out Kayaking. Boy, this will get your lungs and heart a moving. Great for burning of that holiday pounds.
5. Shadow boxing you say ?? Yes, I said shadow boxing. Take about 5 minutes of some fast shadow boxing and you will see what I mean. It totally wears out your body and is one of the most effective ways to burn calories. You can use a bag or just boxing in the air. Either way is fine.
Of course there are many more exercises to help you burn the fat off from your Holiday feasting but these five are at the top of my list. Just remember when you are outdoors you need to stretch out really well and bundle yourselves up with warm clothing. There is no sense in catching a bad cold while trying to shred the weight !!
Happy New Year,
Robert Andrew
