Weight Loss Dance
Did you know you can dance weight off
One of the most fun types of dance you can do is Dance Dance Revolution, also known as DDR. Just in case you have never heard of DDR, it’s an interactive game. Mostly kids do it, however, adults get involved along with the kids or can play on their own. You just plug it in, get on your dance mat and use the colored arrows as a guide to do your dance steps. The best thing to do is start out easy and work your way up so that you can get used to it and so that you won’t look like a clod. This energetic dance game is used all over the world to help obese kids lose weight and as a family activity.
If you don’t want to go the game route there are plenty of other options, for example, what about a dance class. There are all kinds of dance classes you can take. One of the first dance classes I ever took was a belly dance class
And if belly dancing doesn’t appeal to you there’s always Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Aerobics and the ever popular, Ballroom dance. I have done all of these at one time or other and I must say I really did love them all, however, the most fun one was ball room. To sum up: ballet took the most discipline, tap helped me to get rhythm, jazz was exciting, and aerobics helped me lose the most weight, due to the intensity of it. The best thing to do is consider what your goal is and make a decision based on that.
Additionally, you can learn all the new trendy/line dances and practice them at home either when no one is at home or have a friend or family member join you. This way when you go to parties you can impress everyone with all the latest moves and be the life of the party. Somebody has to do it so why not you? Finally, all forms of dance can help you lose weight it just depends on which one you enjoy most and of course, your weight loss goals

Weight Loss Motivation at Work
It’s true that weight loss can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. Don’t forget why you wanted to lose weight in the first place? That’s when your weight loss motivation was at it’s highest point. If you’re not careful you’ll lose motivation and that’s when it gets hard. Motivation at work is awesome it keeps you positive and helps you reach your goals with half the effort. Soon as you start to think you can’t lose weight motivation will begin to weaken and you can’t allow that to happen.
If you want to lose weight you will need to have a few motivational techniques
in place to help you achieve the results you want. These 5 motivational tips will help:
1. Get together with a support group of others who have the same goals (realistic goals).
2. Set up a plan to lose weight for a special day like your birthday, Valentine’s Day etc.
3. Make a list of all the reasons you want to lose weight; don’t forget your WHY!
4. Don’t use crash diet methods they work short term, permanent weight loss is the goal.
5. Most important of all lose weight for yourself not for someone else; this is key and powerful.
Caring for yourself enough to make the changes needed to be healthy should be one of the main reasons to lose unwanted pounds. Not to please your family, a man, a woman, friends, or anyone, it must be for YOU! Because you matter and you value yourself is the type of motivation that really works.
Weight management programs are another good way to lose weight and provide education needed to lose weight safely. If you’re a beginner a program is a great idea so that you have a course of action to follow and will be taught healthy eating habits along with exercise routines that are customized for your level of fitness. Furthermore, the guidance provided will help sustain your motivation to lose weight.
Of course, your level of motivation will determine how successful you are in your efforts to lose weight. Some days you will feel more motivated than others and this is normal, however, the focus should be on the positives not the negatives. Don’t allow your feelings to dictate your actions stick to the plan and you will build confidence in the fact that you can and will do it.
Remember your WHY! Be realistic! Do it for you! = weight loss motivation
Weight Loss- Lose Stomach Fat
One of the last places we tend to lose weight is the stomach. Losing stomach fat can be tricky and requires a strategy. Just having a strategy, however, isn’t good enough, you need to act on it. Now, let’s look at some ways to lose overall body fat 
Changing your eating habits is a good place to start when you want to lose stomach fat. This means an adjustment needs to be made when it comes to eating foods that are high in fat and calories. It doesn’t mean you have to give them up entirely, but eat them in moderation. For example, eat them only 2 days a week not 5 and eat smaller portions.
An increase in activity is also in order, aka the dreaded ‘exercise’ word. The results may not be immediate, but the weight will come off, slowly, which is the best way. When you lose weight quickly with pills and fad diets the weight comes right back creating a cycle of gain and lose that is discouraging, defeating and unsafe.
It’s recommended to exercise at least 4-5 days a week at 30 minute intervals. To lose overall body fat which includes stomach fat, aerobic activity is suggested. This could be in the form of cycling, walking 
Naturally, with the combination of better eating habits and increased activity stomach fat will begin to disappear. Safe weight loss is about 2 pounds a week so in three months time you could be 24 pounds less. You’ll look great, feel great and get great compliments.
Why wait? Get started today by eating less at your next meal. Then just keep going one day at a time with small doable goals. You CAN lose your stomach fat

Weight Loss Exercises
All forms of exercise are beneficial and all can help you lose weight. The best thing to do is decide what type of weight loss exercises
1. What type of exercise? ( Aerobic or Resistance Training)
2.How difficult? ( easy, moderate, strenuous)?
3. How long? (short 15-30min. long 1-2 hours)
You can do a combination of all three and alternate them. For example, if you workout an hour you can do 20 minutes of aerobic exercise with 20 minutes of weight training by the time you add in a few abdominal exercises 
You don’t have to limit yourself to the gym or at home exercises no matter what type of exercise you do it’s beneficial. What about the easy/fun exercises like swimming, water aerobics and walking? If you really like the outdoors how about a nature hike? And did you know that playing with the kids (if you have kids) are weight loss exercises. That’s right you can play tag or tag football, give piggy back rides, jump rope or jump on the trampoline it all counts. Or be creative and take a dance class I used to take belly dance classes and it was a great way to have fun and exercise too. What about a Pilates or Yoga class?

In fact, if you choose an exercise you like it could be the highlight of your day; something to look forward to.

With that in mind get to work and come up with at least five different types of weight loss exercises that you would like to try and then DO at least two of them.
