Like they say - It Begins at Home

Yes, exercise can be something you can bring to your home too. My first attempt at doing something ended up being following Winsor Pilates DVD. I had hurt my knee a little and i needed to wait. At that time, it wasnt the Runner's Knee injury i had. It was a mild ligament issue. So i decided to order this DVD. I followed the exercises everyday in the morning and increased reps and intensity. I did a little bit of cardio too. No Running. And i watched what i ate and lost inches around my tummy. Proving that you dont need to hurt or harm yourself in anyways to lose weight. The key thing though was that i did this before i ate breakfast. This really hits your fat reserves so if you ever want to lose fat, work out in the morning. The most important thing then was still watching what i ate and eating 6 smaller meals compared to 3 huge ones. One of the best way to get easy cardio is to climb up stairs. Dont climb down (bad for your knee) several times but take the elevator. And add push ups and squats to bring your heart rate up. With the Pilates and all this, you dont need any fancy instrument. Most of the exercises use your body weight. Spectacular isnt it?
So lets stop waiting and get started!
