From personal experience.
NO DIET!!
About myself-
Height- 164cm
Body type- Pear shaped
Current BMI – 25.1
I used to exercise before but due to busy schedule and to a greater extent of laziness I stopped and gained a lot of weight leading to the appearance of stretch marks.
I again started to exercise and this is what I did-
I started slow and small.
WEEK 1-
Diet change- None! I still used to snack at random times. But I started drinking 5 bottles of water.
I did this for a week and my body got adapted to it. But skipping was really challenging for me. I hate running. I can’t tolerate the burn in my calves. Skipping is a similar experience for me.
WEEK 2:
I decided to challenge myself a bit.
The morning routine was the same.
30-45 mins walking, stretching and skipping (300times)
EVENING- I started doing Kiat Jud dai. This is a Japanese weight loss technique. Very popular on the internet especially tiktok.
I did it for 6mins 30secs.
Kiat jud dai was followed by skipping (150-200) times.
And 60 minutes walking.
Diet change- A cup of green tea in the morning. And snacking only twice if I felt like it 5 times. Drinking 5 bottles of water. My meal portions have remained same. No change in them.
WEEK 3-
I started getting more workout video and suggestions and decided to do them.
Morning-
25 minutes of walking
100 skipping
Climbing the stairs (A flight of 10 stairs 10times)
Evening-
40 minutes walking
22 minutes of Zumba work out (Found it on youtube)
10 minutes of thigh and calves exercise by Emi Wong (youtube)
Diet change- None! Same as Week 2
WEEK 4 (Finally)
MORNING:
I stopped skipping because it’s really very hard for me. (I gave upL)
I walked for 25 minutes.
Basic stretching for 10 minutes.
Dance routine of 3minutes (I will attach the link for it)
EVENING:
10 minutes of Emi Wong thigh and calves exercise.
10 minutes of neck exercise by Emi Wong.
45 minutes of walking
Diet change- I started switching between a cup of green tea and warm water with lemon juice on alternate days.
I still snack and my meal portions are same. Haven’t stopped eating pizza, burger or anything like that.
I am also attaching the link to Emi Wong's instagram.
This plan worked great for me!
Exercise size is a personal choice. Do what you enjoy! Its not a burden. Every small movement matters!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Side notes- When we usually want to lose weight our first concern is to look aesthetically pleasing (According to the social norms)
But I would say you are doing this for yourself. You want to be fit, healthy and strong.
Rest everything else is a by product.
You are grateful to your body for it is doing its work. You are helping your body a bit by exercising Making the work a bit easier for it.
Sometimes it gets a bit de-motivating when you don’t see the results. Believe in yourself and the process. All the efforts you put in now would definitely bear fruits.
You are investing in yourself.
Self growth! Personal development! Confidence! Power to your ownself!
START SMALL-BUT START!
