A non-intrusive weight loss workout is great when you donâ??t need immediate results. Â While sit ups, pull ups, squats, weights, and other traditional exercise regimens are great for getting fast results, some find great fun in less strenuous exercise activities for a more leisurely approach. Here are some activities that will work on the inches while providing a fair amount of enjoyment. Dancing. Â Whether you taste is hip-hop or a more graceful ballroom style dancing can be very good for your body. Â In this instance how good you are is secondary to the effort. Â Best results are obtained, obviously, if the activity is experienced several times a week, with each occasion covering a several hour period of time. Hula Hooping. Â Remember how much fun you had when, as a child, you prided yourself for lasting longer that your classmates hula hooping. Â In all probability you will notice a definite lowering of the skill level but none-the-less the very act of hula hooping will have a beneficial effect on the body and it will be fun. Mini-trampoline. Â Not much activity will be more enjoyable than the mini-trampoline. Â Bounce your heart away for several minutes several times a day. Â This activity serves you well if you are a tube boob. Â Bounce away during the commercials and over time you will see the inches melt away. Bicycle. Â Get your old friend out of the garage, dust him off and rediscover the joy of the sunshine on your shoulders and the wind in your face. Â Effectiveness can be increased by pumping two gears higher than you would comfortably use when climbing hills. Â Just make sure that you do not overdue the effort the first several times back in the saddle. Leisurely, fun exercise can be a great weight loss workout when the element of immediacy and muscle mass are not factors in the results. The downside to these activities may be the lack of a formal program involving structure. Â How often and how long are questions that need attention rather than depending on whim and fancy to determine the sequencing. For this type of activity to work a diet component must be injected into the mix. Â Although pleasurable, the idea of eating whatever you want with an occasional turn on the dance floor seldom yields results. What does work is a formal plan with a reasonable exercise component coupled with a diet regimen that makes sense. Â To your surprise, this type of program could still be very enjoyable. A great weight loss workout does not have to be military intensive in its structure but it should have some structure.
