TV exercise

Let’s face it, people spent a lot of time in front of the TV. I know because I was one of those people! Try increasing your efficiency and kill two birds with one stone by getting your fat burning exercise done while watching your favourite TV programs. You can even play a dedicate exercise DVD.

Window shopping

Did you know that walking is one of the best forms of exercise? And that is simply because it doesn’t put as much strain on the body as traditional forms of exercise. So when the weather outside is nasty, take a stroll through the mall and do a bit of window shopping. You can even get your friends involved by starting a ‘mall walking club’.

Dancing

As long as you are going to be moving anyway you might as well be learning a new skill, like dancing. There are many different types of dancing; all of them are effective in burning fat. Even the slowest types of ball room dancing will burn plenty of calories!

Anything new at the gym

Gyms are always testing out new equipment, so why don’t you try mastering one of them when the weather is messing with your exercise routine! You can even rediscover some of your old favourites or sign up for workout classes.

Indoor facilities

There are many ways to burn fat without being outside like swimming a few laps in an indoor pool or running a couple of miles on the treadmill! One of the best ways to lose weight is to pick up an indoor sport like action soccer or action netball.

Lifting weights

Heck, if you wanted to burn fat you don’t even need to step foot outside! You can always use small hand weights and resistance bands right inside your house to burn fat. Lifting weights to build muscle can be very useful in burning fat, simply because muscle helps burn fat.

Indoor exercise may not always be ideal, but does keep you active and on track to reach your weight loss goals. But once again don’t forget have at least one rest day to allow your body to recover! And if the weather turns nasty and you where due to go outside exercising, you can always swap that exercise day for a rest day!
