There are all kinds of exercises; some are for defining muscles, others for improving fitness, and some more for reducing sizes. Here is our recommendation for the best activities to maintain and improve your figure.
Eating well and healthily is very important, but so is keeping the body in shape. The better diet you maintain throughout your life, the more and better energy you will have to exercise and stay strong, agile, and fit. A good exercise that serves to lose weight should contain at least two parts; the first is cardio, which means it involves a respiratory exercise element where the most calories are burned. The second part is an activity that tones the muscles, as this way fat is burned and a much more defined figure is created.
Step
Most gyms and sports clubs nowadays have this exercise. It is an activity that combines aerobics with a little free weight. This results in a burn of 800 calories per hour and a noticeable body change in the first two weeks of doing the exercise. The intensity of the sessions is not too high, so it can be performed regardless of your age or physical condition.
Spinning or free bike
In just one hour, you can burn up to 1000 calories depending on your speed. This exercise is one of the most convenient as you can do it on your own, in a gym, or even at home with a stationary bike. The point is that this is pure cardio mixed with strength and flexibility activity for the legs, which sculpts the figure quickly and permanently.
Swimming
If what you are looking for is to tone your entire body, then swimming is for you. This exercise causes almost all the muscles we have to contract and release due to the effort we make to stay afloat. In just one hour, you can burn up to 800 calories while also getting a nice tan.
Walking
This is an exercise you can quickly include in your daily life. It has been proven that people living in cities like Barcelona, Paris, and even New York, where using the subway and walking is a daily thing, have better physiques and better conditions than those living in more stationary cities like Mexico City, where using a car is quite necessary. Simply walking to the store, to school, and even going up and down stairs at home really represents a difference of almost 400 calories per hour.
Dancing
This point is not just for fun; dancing helps to tone the entire body. The secret is to do it in some type of class like Zumba or do it when you go out, but for at least one continuous hour so that the necessary calories accumulate to burn.
In addition to doing activities for weight loss, it is important to have a balanced diet; check out the diet section of Kiwilimón.
