12 Ways To Lose Weight And Have Fun Doing It!

Number 12- Yoga

Fast, Fun, and Simple Way to Lose Weight and Get Lean!

Dance Pose
I know, I know, it's very cliche. A girl in a completely white room doing the dancer pose and being completely serene.

But it's not like that!

You can do yoga at any time of the day. Morning, noon, or night! You can do it anywhere. You don't even need any supplies unless your trying to get very flexible (which is always fun). Most television services offer channels or ON DEMAND shows that teach you how to do specific poses.

Plus, it's an easy way to unwind after a long day.

The benefits of yoga include flexibility, lengthening of the body, strengthening of the muscles, and being able to calm yourself. But is there really anyway to loose weight in yoga, or are you just distributing your weight to the longer and leaner you?

Well, to be honest, "yoga" itself normally does not raise your heart rate enough to lose weight. BUT there are types of yoga that you can do for around 90 minutes three times a week to lose weight, but most people just choose to go with doing other things along with yoga to reach their weight lost goals.

Number 11- Bicycling

Giving Your Leg Muscles the Workout They Deserve!

Family Bicycling!
It's such an easy way lose so much weight! You can take fifteen minutes whenever and just go out and ride. It strengths almost all muscles and really defines your thighs and calves. It improves your heart health and reduces stress.

Plus, it's so easy to do!

It burns calories like no one's business, which is the primary way to lose weight, as most people know. It's about 1000 calories/an hour, which means you could burn off your lunch or breakfast or a snack with only fifteen minutes of easy bicycling. If you choose to go uphill and really push yourself, you could burn up to 2000 calories/an hour! That's amazing!

Number 10- Horseback Riding

A Surprising Way To Lose Weight!

Horseback Riding
Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking! Something along the lines of:

"But princess, how can sitting on your butt while you prance around on a horse going to help me lose weight?"

But you have to trust me on this. Have you ever noticed how skinny professional horseback riders are? And that's not only to help the horses. You can burn 200-600 calories/an hour. Spending time on a horse can also tone you leg muscles and give you some serious booty definition!

Plus, horses are so adorable! ...Sorry...I'm still a teenage girl..

Number 9- Shopping

A Way To Lose Weight That All Women Will Love!

Shopping!
Once again, I know what your thinking! Something along the lines of:

"Princess, you're a teenage girl.
I hope that you are doing well! Just wanted to tell you about this cool new video that I just watched from my new friend and respected colleague, Dr Charles. In it, he reveals a very unusual tip for a flatter belly in just 3 to 10 days. I watched it, thought it was brilliant, and figured you might find it very helpful too.
I hope that this was short and sweet enough for ya. Have an amazing day!!
. I understand you like shopping, but this is too much!"

I actually don't like shopping as much as most girls my age. Surprising huh?

Honestly, you can lose weight from shopping. All that walking around continuously (and sometimes aimlessly) can really burn off some calories. Around 245/an hour depending on how large the mall is and how much back and forth you do. Plus, you get a great self-esteem boost while you're in the dressing room when you know you just burnt off your breakfast.

Just make sure to stay away from the food court! You never know how many calories are in that Teriyaki Chicken!

Number 8- Belly Dancing

A Very Sexy Way To Tighten Your Tummy!

Belly Dancing!
Their waists are so small, they themselves are so tall and lean, and they're always to beautiful.

Do you know how unrealistic it is to have a goal to be "beautiful" in the end. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

But to be taller, leaner, and smaller is completely understandable. Which is why Belly Dancing is such a good exercise to reach those goals! Even if you only do a thirty minute session, you will be tired and worked by the end. It's so much fun, and it won't even feel like you're working-out until you step on that scale! You can burn up to 296 calories/an hour.

You can certainly impress people once you learn how to shake your hips like a belly dancer. Especially if your a man! :)

Number 7- Gymnastics

Flexibility At It's Finest!

Rhythmic Gymnastics
Not only will you be able to easily split on the floor, you'll be able to out lift your husband in weight lifting! It's a sport that requires strength, balance, and flexibility, and it's so easy to start. Yes, it's probably only taught in a class or lesson, but you can always try personally training with a gymnastics coach.

It's a fun sport that is something that people are always impressed when you say you've had professional training in gymnastics, and it's definitely adds some interesting character to your personality.

Number 6- Roller Skating

A Fun And Easy Way To Lose A Lot Of Weight!

Roller Skating Taken A Bit Too Far...
It's fun and easy to do! And it's such a great exercise to do with your friends.

Once you learn how to roll around and skate, it's something that's addicting. You'll be at the rink all the time! Plus you're burning around 346 calories/an hour. You'll forget you're exercising, and be there for the longest time! It's a pretty good way to lose weight with friends or family (even if I personally am terrified of skating -.-).

Number 5- Cardio Exercises

Giving Your Heart A Workout!

Treadmilling
Get your heat pumping, your forehead sweaty, and your waist tiny with cardio exercises. Anything from a at home treadmill to an elliptical to a standing bike will be good enough for this one. You don't necessarily have to be at a gym or be at home. You could go running around your neighborhood on a nice day or walk to the grocery store.

All you have to do is move.

You can burn anywhere from 200-1500 calories/an hour depending on how much you weigh and how much you push yourself. It's a very easy and kinda obvious way to lose weight!

Number 4- Marital Arts

Improve Balance And Strength With This High Intensity Workout!

Martial Arts Training
Karate movies have really given this sport a bad name. Martial arts are not that easy nor is it that ridiculous. It's a way that a lot of people use to get cat like balance and reflexes while strengthening their entire body and toning it. A lot of classes are offered at local gyms to learn how to perform the sport, and they're usually really fun.

Plus, it's almost like a exercise class and a self-defense class all in one. With Martial Arts, you can feel safe if you happen to like walking down dark alleyways in the middle of the night! I mean, who DOESN'T like to do that?

But in all seriousness, it's a fun sport that shouldn't be taken lightly. Depending on the type of Martial Arts you choose, you can burn anywhere from 200-1000 calories/an hour! It's a good way to lose weight, plus it's something that people are usually in awe about.

Number 3- Fitness Video Games

A Way To Lose Weight Without Even Knowing It!

Crazy Arcade Version Of DDR
It's so much fun! Have you ever played Dance Dance Revolution or Wii Fit? It's an easy way to lose weight that really only takes fifteen to thirty minutes a day. And you can choose your level of difficulty on both.

Have you ever seen a really good player on DDR move his feet like a crazy person?

And have they ever had a waist bigger than 20 inches?

It burns around 10 calories for each beginner song, 15 on basic, 20 on difficult, and 25 on expert. It really adds up, and it's impossible to feel bored or tired while playing the game. (Unless your doing a song that's a bunch of jumping. You're calves will be SPAZING by the end of it!)

For more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dance_Dance_Revolution

Number 2- Modern Dancing

A Modern Way To Lose Weight!

Cliched Black Silhouette With And Ipod
It's fun and simple. Just close your door, turn on the radio, and dance! You don't need to have an previous experience or training. You don't even really need to know what you're doing!

Listen to the beat and just move! Depending on the type of dance you choose to do and how much you weigh, you could burn anywhere from 250-678 calories/an hour. For something that people do on a regular basis, it really tones your body and burns a large amount of calories.

I do it a lot with friends or by myself or even when I'm folding laundry. This is something you can do really anywhere. I've even done it walking around a grocery store with a song stuck in my head. (I totally suggest dancing as you shop the next time. You looks you get are so funny!)

Number 1- Synchronized Swimming

My Absolute New Obsession In Weight Loss!

Impressive Last Stand For The 2009 US Synchro Season
If you've read my other article "Synchronized Swimming- Recreational And Competitive" you should know already that I have an unhealthy obsession with this sport. :) It's fun, tiring, a great workout, and if you're a person who loves being underwater, you should seriously consider this mega-sport.

Imagine taking dancing, gymnastics, running, and show choir and shoving into one box and labeling it as "Super-Sport That Requires Ridiculous Amounts Of Athleticism!"

That super-sport is synchronized swimming. (Known as Synchro by it's insiders)

You must be able to feel music and dance; have amazing back, leg, and shoulder flexibility; be able to hold your breath for over 2:30 minutes still; and smile and make it look effortless all the time. It's an amazing way to lose weight. A friend of mine joined a team a year or two ago and literally went from a size 10-11 to a size 4-5 almost immediately. After three years of the sport she's now a size 2, it's getting too big, and she's losing weight all the time. Of course, that's team training, but just going to a local pool and trying to do what they do will burn around 403-803 calories/an hour depending on your weight and how fast you move or practice.

It's something I personally love to do. And trust me, it's a lot more fun than it sounds.
