Not everyone is able to run like that, and that type of exercise should not be done every day. Your body is able to adapt quickly to your exercise routine. A routine that consists of the same exercise day in and day out will be much less effective for weight loss than an exercise program with different activities all the time. Try building variety into your workout routine. For example you may do a long jog on day one, day two will be resistance training and core work, day three will be swimming, day four will be an aerobics class.

It is also very important to ensure you are building and toning muscle with anaerobic exercises, such as resistance training and weight lifting. The reason for this is two-fold. Firstly, when you reduce your calories on a diet your body consumes both stored fat and muscle, so muscle building and toning exercises will maintain or build your muscle mass and prevent loss. Secondly, the more muscle you have the better your metabolism will be. Muscles in your body burn fat 24 hours a day and the more muscle you have the more body fat you'll burn.

So what's your exercise schedule for this week? If you don't have one, take a minute right now and jot one down. Make it your goal to workout on every day you write down, no excuses.
