There is no secret about it: you have to undertake some sort of fitness routine if you wish to lose weight. To lose weight with fitness you should be aiming to do some form of exercise every single day; even if it is not organized exercise.
Examples of ‘unorganized’ or lifestyle exercise includes:
- taking the stairs
- doing housework; eg vacuuming, sweeping, washing etc
- walking to the store
- lifting a baby/children
Whilst these activities are not considered exercise, they will still burn considerable calories and you should count them towards your weight loss plans.
