Ways to Exercise and my Youtube trainers

If you just want to add a simple and quick exercise in your routine: 
Try the quick morning exercise and stretching routine of Vicky Justiz on YouTube. It takes just 4 minutes (or you can do the 10 minutes one if you’re up for it), and you can do it with your PJ after you wake up.

There’s also an easy full stretch workout before bed, quick bedtime workout by Lucy Wyndham, it takes just 3 minutes.

Step counting
Walking is one of the easiest ways to exercise and include into your day-to-day basis. And like I said before, walking improves your stamina, strengthens your feet, knees and hips. If you have a health data app (you can easily download a step tracker), you better start using it.

5,000 to 7,499 steps is enough activity a day, but if you want to lose weight, aim for at least 10, 000 steps a day.

When I live in the Philippines, I walk fast back and forth in the living room until I reach 10,000 steps while watching. You can do this if you want to add more steps to get at least 5,000 steps.

In the UK, after work, I normally get between 4 to 6 thousand steps on my health data. Depending on how many steps I get after work, I’ll do a short workout between 5- 10 minutes, for example. So, that’s 5 minutes if I got 6,000 and 10 minutes if I only got 4,000 steps.

​

High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) to lose weight 
Why not do a 1 minute basic warm up in the morning, followed by a 4- 7 minute Hiit workout. You can easily find lots of videos on YouTube. 5- 8 minutes of exercise a day, sounds easy, right? But why Hiit workouts to lose weight?

Hiit workouts are good for those who doesn’t have the time to exercise for a long duration. Also, you don’t need any equipments so you can do to it anywhere.

Hiit is good for burning calories. It melts off fats and tones your whole body; waist, thighs, arms and butt. Moreover, after the workout, your body burns more calories (between 10- 48 hours) while resting which is amazing.

It is recommended to do Hiit workouts 2-4 times a week.

I suggest Lucy Wyndham on YouTube. She has between 4- 10 minutes hiit workouts with two options if you’re a beginner, you can do the easy ones, and if you got used to it, you can do the hard ones to burn off more calories. She also has the basic 1 minute warm up video, while others has 5 minutes, it’s all up to you.


No time to exercise in the morning before work? 
The short and easy exercise I suggest is doing a quick home toning workout. 

I like doing Lucy’s 7 minute abs and arms workout in the morning, but it’s easy that you can do it even after work. 

There’s also a 4 minute workout; toning your arms, abs, booty and thighs, 1 minute for each. If your arms are not a problem, Lucy got a 3 minute thighs, butt and abs routine. Or if you want to focus on your abs, arms or butt, she also got a short 3 minute routine you can do every day focusing on those areas. 


The reason why I started exercising is that I wanted to focus on toning my large arms and get a wider butt. 

Sometimes, when my tummy got bigger, I also do a short waist workout from Vicky Justiz or Lucy Wyndham. I love Lucy because she reminds me on doing a warm up before starting, as well as giving those streches after her workouts.
