I Lost Ten Kilos in Three Months!

Heya! Decided to blog about something different instead of the usual, mundane everyday life. I have decided to share an effective weight loss, body toning and firming programme! Haha. Actually, I just simply have nothing much better to do. The following information is to what i have done and so reccommend, but please take it with a pinch of salt and cater it to your own needs. =)

Simple Exercises to Do to Get/Keep in Shape

  • Jogging/Running - At least 3 times a week, 20mins each time, approximate 5km 3km (Sry for mistake)
(Honestly, the best way to shed some pounds is to jog! Do not do it too slow till that a person walking could catch up with you. To train up endurance and improve your cardiovascular system. Remember to do proper warm ups and cool downs, if not, muscle cramps and aches would follow.)

  • Push Ups - At least 4 sets of 20 reps each session/throughout day. If possible, try to do it everyday, or squeeze it after your running sessions.

(Trains up muscles of your arms and shoulders, mainly the triceps and your deltoids *if im nt wrong*)

  • Crunches - At least 4 sets of 30 reps each session/throughtout day. If possible, do it as frequently as you can.

(Builds and tones your upper abs. Perfect for people who just want a toned abdominal area. Note that crunches only build upper abs, i.e. the 4 upper abs. For those who wants their 6 or 8 pacs got other more intensive and proper exercises to do.)

  • Lunges - At least 5 counts of 4. Min 4 sets. Done slowly.

(Builds up your thigh muscles. A good alternative is to climb stairs, but it does not target the specific muscle group.)

That's all i have for now. Please remember to find out more on the proper execution of the above exercises before doing it. Remember to accompany ur exercise regime with proper warm ups, cool downs, and most importantly, hydrating yourselves (Min 6L of water a day).
