Today it is raining in Phoenix, a rare but welcome occurrence. Since I do most of my workouts outside, it would be easy to blow it off due to circumstances beyond my control. However, for me to get a great workout, all I need is a 10 x 10 foot space and minimal equipment. I can do squats, pushups, stomach and hip work, etc., just using my body weight. I need to workout to help with my arthritis, but also to keep my energy up and for weight loss. Since I had to give up running several years ago, and with advancing age, it’s much harder to keep the pounds off.
Do you realize that if you burn 100 calories extra/day, and decrease caloric intake by 100 calories/day, you will lose 10 lbs. in a year! You won’t even miss that 100 calories in your dietary intake either. Weight that comes off this way tends to stay off too.
