7. Add another day
Ho-hum ... does week after week only encompass Monday-Wednesday-Friday on the treadmill? Add a Saturday bike ride or Sunday morning indoor cycling class to your week, and your fitness level -- and body shape -- will show it. Make your workout activity-focused and you'll also invigorate your mind and spirit.
Calorie-burning boost: A two-hour hilly hike can burn up to 800 calories.
I love to jump rope and agree it's a wonderful way to burn calories...but at work? On a coffee break? If you truly jump the way you should for 10 minutes, you will need a shower after each 10 minute "break"!!
It might also be tricky to find a corner in your office and jump rope in your office attire without attracting some strange looks, LOL. But if it works, hey why not?
@Cheergirl1263 - that sounds dangerous. Slow and steady is the rule. If you go at it slowly you'll have a better chance of succeeding, and also have a better chance of keeping the weight off. Don't crash diet! Very bad for you.
