I use a mini stepper. It gives a good workout and doesn't take up much room. i bought mine at a second hand store for only $4 so it was well worth it.

Consider buying yourself a pedometer and doing the 10,000 steps program.

Here's the thing about home machines. They only work if you use them. I dont know if you have ever heard the theory, but you know how you shouldn't do work in your bed because it is a place of relaxation, and then at night it is more difficult to sleep? Or you should take a test in the same type of environment that you study in (quiet... preferrably)

If your home is a place to relax and get away from the office, I recommend getting a gym membership. It can be costly, but it can be effective too. If you spend the money, you feel obligated to go. And get a friend to go with you. And you can't throw piles of clothes on those machines. I would recommend Curves for someone like you. I mean always in the office. its a nice girls place to go, versus lifting weights and crazy bulk men.... unless you need to pick someone up!

If you want to work at home, side crunches work. Either lay your legs to one side and keep your torso straight. OR cross one leg over the other so your ankle is basically by your knee and reach opposite elbow to cross leg knee.

Good Luck!

First you should check with you Doctor in weather you should reduce your Calorie intake depending on your size can be anywhere from 1100- 2500 per day. As for the excersise you can do is yoga its not only for flexability but it helps build strength without bulking up. You work at your own pace and advancement. Depending on your age tia chi may also be an option. They have web site that you can download if you work on an office computer. Good luck and remember its a lifestyle change.

20 minutes of exercise a day really helps. You need to do a cardio and stregneth training. May be during your breaks take a short walk or climb stairs. Every little bit helps. Try to reduce your calories also. Keep track of both. I use a computer program to help me.

Top weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.
