Hello friends, we spend many rupees in dieting or to look slim and beautiful. But we spend lot of money. Even I did. But the time I did ok when I left I found I am same. So what ever I learnt, I am telling to every body. U can tell your friends too.
Drink 5-6 glasses of water for every hour of exercise.
Walking is the safest exercise and can be continued through out the 9 months.
Walking should be adjusted according to the trimester. Stay hydrated through out the walk and walk in cooler parts of the day.
1st trimester:- walk everyday and split it into small walks in the morning & evening.
2nd trimester:- alternate long, short walks with shorter, faster ones.
3rd trimester:- take multiple short walks. Stay in familiar area and close to home.
First and foremost, you need to become more active. Start with walking 4 days a week, for 30 -45 minutes. Remember, early morning walks provide the best results in terms of fat loss, since the body relies in fat stores(after the overnight fast) to provide energy, when you exercise in the morning on an empty stomach.
Walking is safe, simple, and excellent for health. Points to remember before starting your walk.
Invest in a good pair of shoes, preferably cross trainers. A loose, 100% cotton shirt, with comfortable track pants / shorts that permit unrestricted movement of the legs are advisable.
Start with a slow-walking warm-up and pick up the pace as you go. Slow down to cool down as you finish.
Drink water after your walk. This will help to rehydrate the body and replace the fluids lost in sweat.
Sing, whistle, or hum as you walk. This develops breath control. It also monitors the vigor of your workout.
If you're too breathless to maintain a song, then reduce the pace. If you can maintain a long conversation with a friend while you walk, then the intensity or pace of your walk is on the lower side. So speed up slightly.
Workouts to be done on - Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays / Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Workout duration - 1 hour. Workout pattern – workout 1 to be repeated 30 times. Workout 2 to be repeated 40 times. Repeat the entire sequence again. Hence 2 sets are done for each of the exercises in the particular workout(1 or 2)
All exercises must be done without rest intervals, and with a minimum of pause between different exercises.
