Aqua Aerobics Can Help Dieters Lose Weight with Less Pain

One of the worst parts about getting into a workout routine is having to deal with the soreness you suffer from afterwards. If you were lifting weights one day, the next day you’ll feel a deep soreness all over the areas you were working out.

At some point, it hurts to even lift your arms or carry things. This goes double for leg workouts like squats and running, which can leave you with some pain in each step you take.

However, some people have found a solution that lets you get fit without nearly as much soreness: aqua aerobics. The concepts surrounding aqua aerobics are pretty simple: when you’re working out submerged in water, you’re not acting against gravity nearly as much.

The water surrounding your body is much harder to move than the air around you normally would be, so it helps alleviate some of the pressure from your joints and muscles.

That same resistance is also what helps you still get a toned body. Water molecules are much more densely packed than air molecules are, so it takes more effort for you to move through them.

This is what causes your arms and legs to move slower through the water than they do in the air. When you’re doing cardiovascular exercises underwater, your muscles aren’t just fighting to move themselves, but also against the resistance of the water all around you.

Aquatic exercises can help you burn a lot more calories in a shorter period of time than regular workouts can. In a long run on land, you’ll likely only burn about 100-200 calories, which can be cancelled out completely by a soda or a snack.

Aquatic exercises, on the other hand, can burn upwards of 500 calories in a session, which accounts for a little more than an entire meal’s worth of calories. Calorie balance is extremely important in dieting, so burning off what you eat is important.

For people who already suffer from existing joint pains and problems, aqua aerobics can be a major game changer. While it can be difficult for people with bad shoulders or knees to get into the gym or go on a run, being underwater helps take the stress off of your joints and makes the energy come from your muscles instead.

This means that there’s a reliable option for those that would rather give up due to the intense pain they get from traditional workouts.

Be Competitive to Lose Weight and Get Fit

Competition is a motivational tool that’s been used for centuries. People compete in games, among their peers and with themselves. The need to compete isn’t something new.

The desire to join some type of competition stems from the natural desire to win or achieve something. It also comes from the need to push beyond previous limits to improve life or physical performance.

And the competitive spirit urges people to try harder. That’s why a weight loss tool that’s built around a competitive foundation is one that’s popular and in high demand. Take Apple Watch’s competition that’s a challenging and competitive way to get rid of unwanted pounds.

It can be turned into a specific game of weight loss that taps into that in-born desire to win. Even if you’re someone who’s struggled to lose weight in the past because your desire or motivation dwindled, this could help you.

It works by having you engage with another person who has the Apple Watch in a competition to see who the winner will be. It’s this competition that can help drive your determination and keep you from giving up.

You can take part in more than one competition at once, but it’s a one on one player competition rather than a group thing. It’s easy to use and convenient, too. You won’t be dealing with the negative kind of talk like you get with some weight loss apps.

This app focuses on losing weight and getting in shape in a friendly, competitive way. The competitions are a week in length and the goal of the game is to try to see who can lose the most for that week.

When you decide that you want to take part in the contest, you check out what your friends are doing in the app and ask them to join you in a week long challenge to see who the winner will be.

It works because you each motivate the other when you see how well the other person is doing. As you engage in the competition, you fill your rings and gain points. You get points for things like exercise, moving, standing, etc.

Because you’re in a competition, you’ll be able to keep an eye on how well your friend is doing so that motivates you to step up your game when you see that he’s ahead of you in points.

You’ll find yourself pushing beyond just to keep from losing. If you end up beating your friend in the competition, you’re awarded a badge. When the challenge is over, you and your friend can move on to another challenge with another player or you can create another challenge.

The watch will keep track of the number of times you’ve either won against the same player or lost. The power of competition works to help you lose weight, get in shape and best of all, it’s fun to take part in.

But the Apple Watch isn’t the only tool that you can use to engage in competitive weight loss. There are other fitness trackers that have this capability. You simply look up your gadget’s fitness sharing apps to find one that you like.

Change Your Fitness Routine This Year to Lose More Weight

Many people are always looking for the right routine for them that will help them lose the most weight. Whether it’s looking through different diets or different workout routines, there’s always a perfect setup that can fit seamlessly into your schedule, making it easier for you to get in the shape that you want to be in.

This year, you should try changing up your workouts to help maximize your weight loss. The first change you can make to your workout routine is the time of day in which you work out.

There are many people who prefer to work out in the morning, and for good reason. First, it helps a lot of people get ready for their days and gives them a bit more energy. Working out gets your heart pumping and your blood flowing, so you’ll be ready to get through the rest of your day.

Another important factor in a morning workout is that you’ll be low on carbohydrates, so your body will be forced to burn off fats for energy instead. While morning workouts are great for some people, they might not be the most effective time to work out.

In the late afternoon and early evening, your body temperature is at its highest, and in turn, so is your performance in a workout. A good early evening workout can also be a great way to get you ready for dinner and then for bed, because you’ll be tired after you’re done with it.

There are certainly people who find it more convenient to work out late at night and into the early morning hours. Not only is this based on their schedules, but many just find it relaxing to go later because the gym is usually less crowded and much quieter.

This can also help you be less sore in the morning, as your body will have the whole night to work on the recovery process. At the end of the day, the most important factor in finding a good workout time and routine is figuring out what works best for you.

One of the biggest obstacles that people always have to overcome in their fitness routines is sticking with it, and if your workouts are set at a bad time, you won’t follow through with it. As long as you’re happy with the time of your workouts, you’re more likely to stick with your program longer.

And don’t be afraid to change up your entire programs periodically – both from a nutritional standpoint as well as the types of workouts you’re doing. Don’t let your body become accustomed to a routine because then it will know how to work against you to keep the fat on.
