How to loose weight and get the body you always wanted !

We all want to loose weight , it's on every bodies  new years resolutions. Its important to look after your health and body because you know as they say a healthy body is a healthy life or whatever. So i'm no expert , but I do have some handy tips that I will share with you that have benefited me.
Personally I am no gym junkie or anything , but I do like to keep fit and healthy ; I aim to walk at least 30 minutes a day and I go to the pool once a week for 1 hour. This is the bare minimum that anyone should really do to maintain their weight and make sure that they do not become obese. However lately I have decided that I would like to loose a little bit more weight and get toned and hopefully reach my tumbr goals . Here are a few inspiration pictures to get you started :
                                                    
Now that you are inspired , here are my top tips :

1) Don't eat any sugary stuff or junk food , or just limit your intake of it . Just cut biscuits , chocolate , cake , sweets , crisps and any processed food. You don't have to cut them off completely , you can have one cheat day where you eat these things however to a controlled amount , don't go binge!

2) Cut down on the huge amount of carbs you eat and switch to eating vegetables and fruits along with some protein so that you can build some muscle . More protein maintains the lean muscles that you already have , you want to keep this as this helps increase your metabolism. Personally I believe
 that you should have around 30% - 40% protein in your diet every day.

3) Drink 2 liters water every day to detox your body or if you don't want to do that purchase slimming teas ; bootea , Dr staurts , slimatee and there are many more brands that you could choose from.

4) Combine Cardio with weight/ resistance training.  If you do too much cardio this means that you will start effecting your own muscles negatively. It's important that you include weight training into your workout regime because it tones your body and at the same time burns calories , improves your metabolism and gives you more strength making you superwomen. You can also try doing a HIT workout if you are not keen on doing just cardio at the gym. Personally i like working out 5 days a week and rest for 2 days a week. Its a good idea to do some cardio first and maybe burn about 500 calories from it , you can even swim and burn 500 calories if you want and then you can do weight training later .

5) You don't have to go to the gym every day , you could use YouTube videos to guide you at home if that is easier for you. There are a lot of resources online . Here are a few to get you started in case you are not able to access a gym.

Apps and YouTube channels 
- Nike training App is a great way to carry your workouts with you. I love this app because it is aimed at women and it feels that you have a personal trainer with you. You can pick to get lean , tone up , get strength or target a specific area.

An example of a workout that I would do using these YouTube videos would be :
Start of with Christina Salus 500 calories total body workout . Then after that I would have a break for 15 minutes and then move onto doing a workout from the Nike training app : Get Strong : Full action workout for 30 minutes to build strength.

Now go workout and tell that it was amazing ! x
