3 Simple Steps to Lasting Weight Loss

By Chet Sandeksi


If you are currently trying to lose weight, you are not alone. Millions of Americans today are on some kind of diet or weight loss plan in hopes that they will lose weight.

Manuel Uribe is a 47 year old man from Monterrey, Mexico. He is best known for his record as the heaviest living person in the world. Back in the early 2000s era, he hit an all-time high of 1,320 pounds. He had been bedridden for years and was looking for a way out of his predicament. Doctors and friends recommended weight loss surgery as the easiest way to literally get back on his feet.

This is especially true for individuals who, for a variety of reasons, cannot actively participate in the standard cardiovascular exercises that most people participate in to lose weight. Cardiovascular exercise has been shown to be one of the most effective exercise methods for those who are striving to lose weight.

There are several factors that are affecting the amount of obese and overweight people in America. First, we, as a culture, do not do very much walking. We are either sitting at home, sitting at work, or sitting in our cars. Generally, we do not use public transportation to travel places; because of this, we spend a lot of time in our cars.

In order for these individuals to lose weight and stay healthy, alternative cardio exercises may wish to be considered. In coordination with a well-balanced and nutritious diet void of excess sugars and fats, a person who finds an alternative way to experience cardio exercises without using their legs will be able to enjoy the same weight loss and overall health of those who are able to use standard cardio exercises to fulfill this need.

Second, he began an exercise routine that he could handle in bed. Simply dancing around to music for an extend amount of time was better than nothing. Getting the heart rate up is what matters to burning fat. Regular exercise for at least 30 minutes a day helps to shed the pounds the body doesn't need to survive.

Third and finally, returning to a healthy weight takes time and persistence. Manuel's changed lifestyle has taken him nearly a decade to reach his current weight. With his own will power pushing him forward, he has hit important milestones along the way. He started by losing 400 pound on his own before his efforts became internationally famous in 2006 via television programs.

This is a large reason why people are constantly searching for quick and easy ways to lose weight. Just turn on your television on you will see myriad advertisements for diet pills and weight loss programs. The key fact here is that people want to lose weight without effort. Deep down, they know the way to lose weight is to exercise and eat healthy.

Swimming is likewise less impactful on a person's back, hips, knees, and ankles, making it a quality exercise for those who wish to avoid over use of their legs while exercising. Other options for those who want to lose weight through cardio exercise but who cannot use their legs while exercising include any action that works the big muscles in the arms and hips, such as rowing, air boxing, pushups, and rope pulling.

Add in an exercise routine and a little bit of patience and you'll soon be wondering where all those pounds got to. Not that you'll be missing them of course.
