Alternative Cardio Exercises to Lose Weight

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.

Why are so many Americans concerned about losing weight? One of the main reasons is because obesity is widespread and nearly rampant in America. It is likely that you or someone close to you is, in fact, obese. If you are not obese, odds are that you are overweight.

He refused though, saying he wanted to do it a more natural way. Instead of resorting to weight loss surgery, he began working with a doctor to create the right weight loss program and has seen remarkable success. With the help of his doctor, Manuel he has lost almost 1,000 pounds without the aid of weight loss surgery or anything else unnatural.

He and his doctor came up with three simple steps to assure his improvement. Those three steps are as follows:

First, they created a diet that dropped his daily intake of calories to 2,000. His diet consisted of egg-white omelets, fresh salads, chicken fajitas, fish fillet and spring greens. This diet did two things for him. First, it reduced the sheer amount of food Manuel was eaten. Instead of eating several hearty meals, his food intake was reduced drastically. The second thing it did was concentrate his diet on healthier foods. He received a more balanced diet that contained all of the normal, healthy nutrients that the body needs. With a controlled diet, the body can start shedding excess fat.

One great way for a person who cannot use their legs while exercising or for one who does not want to use their legs while performing cardio exercises to still receive the benefits of a cardio work out is to make good use of a punching bag. Using a punching bag, either will standing still or from a chair, gives the body a great cardio work out without the use of the legs.

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.

If a punching bag is not a good fit for the needs of the person looking to perform healthy cardio, then perhaps turning to the pool would be a respectable alternative. Swimming laps in a pool, like the other standard cardio exercise, has long since been a proven and effective cardio work out.

He learned the meaning of perseverance as he's spent a better fourth of his life fighting obesity. He took it a day at a time and made it happen. Any weight loss plan requires the same time and persistence to do it right. Avoid quick fix plans because they only give you temporary benefits. Lasting weight loss calls for a change of lifestyle that is unaffected by extreme diet plans. Eat less and more healthily.

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.
