How to Lose 30 lbs in 30 days
It seems everyone now a days is trying to find easy ways to lose weight. The problem is, that's it's not as easy as most would like it to be. Everyone wants that miracle pill or weight loss video. Many marketers have made millions on people who just did not lose the weight. First off 99% of the weight loss pills don't work. The pills are usually meant for those with extreme appetites or severely obese people. In those cases, they do sometimes work. The hype around all the weight loss videos is just as high as that. Most of the weight loss videos are irrelevant to what you want to do because, let's face it, they are hard. P-90X, Oh my gosh. That is a difficult workout. I have done it. I didn't stick with it for the sole reason that it is just not my type of workout. Always in doors, sweating your brains out, sore the next morning, barely able to walk. That isn't my ideal choice of workout.
Losing weight doesn't have to be hard. The common misconception about losing weight is that you have to sweat profusely and feel it the next morning. I'm here to tell you, that is just a myth. You don't have to sweat your brains out or be so sore that you can't perform your job well the next day. I am 6 feet tall and weigh 160lbs now. I started out weighing 235lbs. Over a period of 3 months I was able to lose 75lbs just by doing the simple workout technique that I am going to show you. Most say that dieting is a key to weight loss. In some aspects it is, but I didn't change a single thing about my diet and I'm not really the role model healthy eater. I love hamburgers, pizza, chicken and sweets. I still was able to lose 75lbs doing this simple workout routine.
The #1 mistake that most people make is setting a workout routine that includes the same thing every single day. They walk 3 or 4 miles for about an hour each day. You will see results, but eventually it will level off. The key to keep losing masses of weight is extending your workout. Instead of walking 3 miles every day, start off walking 3 miles then move up to 4 miles then start walking 3 miles and try jogging a quarter mile then half a mile. I will lay out a daily routine that is easy to do. You won't be sore the next morning. You won't be too out of breath that it hurts your lungs. And the best of all it's free.
30 steps in 30 days to lose 30 lbs
You want to do a minimal of 1 hour of exercise per day
Day 1 - Walk 4 miles. Don't just slowly walk. Take a watch and time your miles. Make sure you are averaging 1 mile per 15 minutes.
Day 2 - Walk 4 miles. This time try to rotate your waist left to right, This works out your abs while you are walking and will help burn fat off of your abdomen.
Day 3 - Walk 4 miles and jog a quarter mile. Some may not be able to gut out the quarter mile. if so that's ok. Jog as far as you can. Try to jog for at least 2 minutes, this usually calculates up to a quarter mile.
Day 4 - Same as day 3. For those that couldn't gut out the quarter mile this day, make sure you at least gut it out today even if you have to jog 1/8 of a mile in two spurts.
Day 5 - Walk 3.5 miles jog half a mile. This day you need to start off jogging. Jog for a quarter mile if you can then walk 3 miles. After 3 miles walking try to jog the other quarter mile then walk the last half mile to cool down. Again for those that find it difficult to do the full quarters just break it into between your walking miles.
Day 6 - Walk3.5 miles jog half a mile. Basically the same thing as day 5. Start out jogging a quarter mile. This use the waist swinging technique while you are walking. Try to do it for at least 1 of your walking miles. Do the remainder of the workout as the steps of day 5.
Day 7 - Walk 3.5 miles jog three quarters of a mile. Once again start off jogging your quarter mile. Walk two miles after that then jog another quarter mile. Walk another mile then jog the final quarter mile and wind it out with a half mile walk.
Day 9 - Walk 3.5 miles jog three quarters of a mile. Today we are going to start out jogging. This time you need to jog at least a quarter but try to jog closer to half a mile. By this time if you have followed the previous steps you should be able to get close to that. If you aren't able to do that just jog as long as you can without wearing yourself out. Walk 3 miles then run the remainder of the three quarter miles you didn't do to start off then cool down with a half mile walk.
Day 10 - Everybody needs a day off right? No! I thought so when I started but willed myself to workout every single day. Today you want to do the same as day 9. Exact same. So it's kind of like a day off. it's the only day that you haven't added something to the workout.
Day 11 - Walk 3 miles jog 1 mile. Today is the biggest turn point because now you can say you ran a mile. Start your workout jogging half a mile or as close to that as you can. Walk 2 miles then try to jog the remainder of the mile that you have left. If you weren't able to knock off the remainder of the mile walk 1 more miles then finish off your jogging. Cool down with at least a quarter mile walk in this case.
Day 12 - Walk 3 miles jog 1.5 miles. You will start making the workout from here on out. Start off jogging as long as you can without wearing out. Try to knock of three quarters of a mile. In any case you should be able to jog three sets of a half mile at a time by now. Space it out by at least jogging half a mile walking a mile jogging another half mile, walking another mile, jogging the last half mile and walking a last cool down mile.
Day 13 - Walk 2 miles Jog 2 miles. Start off jogging. We want to be jogging three quarters of a mile starting out. If not then just do the half mile. Jog a half mile or three quarters of a mile then walk half a mile. Jog another half mile and repeat this process until you have finished the workout. It goes: Jog .5 walk .5 jog .5 walk .5 jog .5 walk .5 jog .5 walk .5
Day 14 - Same thing as day 14 except today you need to you need to gut out that first three quarters of a mile jogging. Other than that follow the same technique only having to jog .25 miles on your last rep.
Day 15 - Walk 2 miles jog 2.5 miles. Start of jogging three quarters of a mile. Walk half a mile. Try to jog another three quarter of a mile. You should be able to do this easily by now. Walk half a mile then jog half a mile and repeat to finish out.
Day 16 - Walk 2 miles jog 2.75 miles. Start out running 1 mile. This should be easy to do as your lungs have expanded by now. After that walk half a mile then jog three quarters of a mile. Walk half a mile then jog half then walk another half. Jog your last half mile and cool down with a half mile walk.
Day 17 - Walk 2 miles jog 3 miles. Start out running 1 mile. After that walk a mile then jog another mile. Walk a half mile then jog half and repeat. This is the first day you will end your workout without a cool down. I started doing this because I was able to not be tired or out of breath on the last half mile.
Day 18 - Walk 2.5 miles jog 3 miles. Start off jogging a mile. Walk for a mile then jog another mile and repeat. After the last mile you will need a cool down of a half mile walk.
Day 19 - Walk 2 miles jog 3 miles. Start of jogging and try to jog 1.5 miles. If able to do that walk a mile and repeat. If not about to do that Jog 1.25 miles walk .5 jog 1.25 walk1 mile jog .5 walk .5
Day 20 - Walk 2 miles jog 3. Today we want to make sure we jog 2 sets of 1.5 miles. So basically the same steps as day 19.
Day 21 - Walk 1 mile jog 3.5 miles. If you were able to do day 20 then you should be able to do this easily. Start out jogging 1.75 miles then walk half a mile and repeat.
Day 22 - Walk 1 mile jog 3.5 miles. Start off jogging 2 miles. Walk half a mile. Jog 1.5 miles and walk the remainder of the mile.
Day 23 - Walk 1 mile jog 4 miles. Today your will be jogging 2 sets of 2 miles with half mile walking dividers. I know it doesn't seem like you should be able to do this in just 23 days time but you can. I guarantee it. Your body will have gotten used to the strain and your muscles will be built up quite well to withstand it.
Day 24 - Walk 1 mile jog 4 miles. Today you want to jog for as long as possible. We want to aim for 2.5 miles. If able to gut that out, walk half a mile jog the remainder and cool off with a half mile walk.
Day 25 - Walk 1 mile jog 4.5 miles. Start off jogging 2.5 miles. After that walk half a mile then jog another 2 miles. Cool down with a half mile walk.
Day 26 - Walk 1 mile jog 4.5 miles. By today you should be able to jog 2.5 - 2.75 miles. We want to jog closer to 2.75 miles to start the workout. Walk half a mile then jog the remainder and cool down with a half mile walk.
Day 27 - Walk 1 mile Jog 5 miles. Today we will do two sets of jogging 2.5 miles and walking .5 miles. As always start off jogging and cool off at the end with a half mile walk.
Day 28 - Walk 1 mile jog 5 miles. By now you should be able to jog 3 miles without stopping. Start off jogging those 3 miles than walk a half mile. Jog the remainder and do your cool down walk.
Day 29 - Walk 1 mile jog 5 miles. Today we want to jog 3.5 miles without stopping. Then we do a half mile walk and jog the remainder of the 5 miles, ending with a half mile cool down,
Day 30 - Walk half a mile jog 4 miles. Today will probably be the hardest because your body isn't as used to this big of a jump because you have jumped 1 mile jogging distance without stopping in 2 days. However this is a key step because after it passes, you will be able to do it the next day. Jog 4 full miles without stopping and cool down with a half mile walk.
I know it may look hard. but I guarantee this is the easiest way you can lose 30 lbs in 30 days without paying a single solitary dime. The increment levels are easy to manage. After day 30 it's all up to you. By that time you should be at the weight you are satisfied with. It is quite possible to lose more than 30 lbs by doing this workout. I lost 40 lbs the first month. The other 35 came within 2 months time only because I tapered off my workout with only running 5 miles a day. I'm not sure how much more one could lose if increasing the workout. I was just at the weight I wanted to be so I stopped increasing it. After you get to your desired weight feel free to trim the workout down to only 3 or 4 days a week. The reason for no off days during this 30 day span is to keep your body burning calories. Your body will be freaking out telling itself that it has to use this store fat to produce energy. You will even be burning calories when you are watching tv because your body is trying to provide energy. I completely transformed my body by doing this. I changed so much that people didn't recognize me.
Now if you want to fine tune your body and really get ripped, then you may need to fine tune your diet. This is not as hard as it seems. You can still eat the same amounts of foods, but we will be changing the kinds of foods you eat. A lot of people eat the same thing day after day after day.
Hamburgers are good. I admit it, but did you know that they are not only fattening, but can threaten your health in other ways? Red meat has been known to cause risings and even contribute to kidney problems. Eating red meat isn't bad, but there's an old saying "Too much of anything is bad for you".
The best diet I can find that is similar to the one I follow is Fatloss4idiots. All the meals are filling. You won't go hungry. If anything, you may stuff yourself. This diet system in itself has been known to trim off more than 10 pounds every two weeks. I know it's hard to believe, but the way this system is set up, your body transforms it's way of burning good calories and bad calories.
The body dumps off what it doesn't need and uses what it does need for your daily energy. It's a very simple diet to follow and not expensive to get the foods that are required. Your grocery bill shouldn't change a bit. You can visit their website at Fatloss4idiots.com to find out more. Below is just a sample of what you can expect to be eating.
