For those of us suffering a desk job, the closest we get to exercise is a walk to the bathroom. Not good if you’re trying to lose weight or if you hope to wake up a bit. Don’t worry, a quick trip down the hall can work more than just the legs. Start with stomach crunches. Yep. Crunches can be done in plain sight if you do them correctly. Simply tighten the muscles of your stomach and hold for as long as you can. As your muscles build strength, you can do repetitions, tightening your muscles for 10 seconds, relaxing for 2-3 seconds, and repeating. It’s harder than you would think. This exercise will firm the stomach and strengthen its muscles. Do them with your back straight.

Try eating multiple small meals a day. One easy route is to do three meals a day plus two snacks.

When in starvation mode, your body will store everything as fat so keep your body happy by eating frequently through out the day.

It really is a simple process. You have to want to lose weight. You have to want to make changes in your life. You have to want to get into that smaller size.
