Lose Weight Fast Comments Off on 10 ways to get fit fast – Real Homes

Want to get fit for 2020, but don't know where to start? There are tons of ways you can get fit quickly, mostly at home and very cheaply, just by making a few basic changes.

Really taking it seriously? Don't miss our buyer's guide to the best home gym equipment and check our guide to exercise at home to find the best work out regime for you. Otherwise, read on, make these small changes and get fit fast.

While it can be easy to assume that drastically cutting calories is the easiest way to get fit or lose weight quickly, doing so will likely lead to short lived results. We'd recommend using the NHS calorie checker for expert advice on reducing your calorie intake, if this is something you'd like to learn more about, though it should by no means be considered essential.

This will keep your body fuelled just make good choices. We're not saying never eat processed foods, but simply swapping white bread for brown, processed meat for fresh chicken (etc) will make a big difference.

If you've never exercised, are new to High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), or aren't sure if you're doing it right, it's really worth using a personal trainer once or twice, watching a YouTube tutorial or a fitness video to get yourself started and motivated.

Doing this a couple of times a week with your body weight, resistance bands or weights makes it easy to dip in and out of. Look at doing two to three sets of eight to 12 repetitions of each exercise.

Tried and tested for getting fit fast by the Realhomes.com team, HIIT increases calorie burning, even after you're finished your home exercise. It's good for burning abdominal fat; aerobic and anaerobic fitness; and a healthy heart. Simply put, it's intense aerobic exercise punctuated by periods of recovery (although don't take that to mean 'lying on the sofa').

Got a dog? Perfect. Not got a dog? Still perfect. It needn't be a purposeful walk around a park although this is undoubtedly the best for your mental wellbeing, too simply getting off the bus a stop or two early, walking to the shops instead of driving (and so on...) will do the trick. The ideal? A good, brisk, 20 minutes per day.

Sitting at a desk all day? Once an hour (set an alarm on your phone), make a point of standing up and moving about. Doing 10 star jumps and a few minutes of stretching is perfect but if that's awkward in the office, even just taking a walk around the office or climbing a few flights of stairs will make all the difference.

Class yourself as a couch potato and love nothing more than vegging out in front of the TV at night? Fine, do it. But every time there's an ad break, get up and do some exercise sit ups, skipping, star jumps... whatever takes your fancy.

Considering a plant-based diet? Why not check out our guide to how to be a vegan? It's not something you have to do every single day if you really can't commit, but swapping from fatty meat to low-fat plant alternatives at least two or three times a week will make a difference.

We're big fans of yoga here at Realhomes.com. And whether you do yoga at home (try Yoga with Adriene if you're a beginner); in a church hall or (if you're lucky) at a local hot yoga studio (our personal favourite), you'll find you feel both better from the stretching and core work that you do but also more relaxed and less stressed.
