After you start following the diet I will post in the next blog, you will feel the need for some exercise as well. But, do not lift weights. Brisk walks, jogging, running, swimming or any form of cardio is excellent for you. But, if you lift weights any fat you lost, will be replaced by muscle gain which will not help you lose any weight.

 

  • Massage

Consider getting a massage on a weekly basis. The massage can help you trigger muscles which have become inactive and once they are triggered you will find exercising much easier. Consider going to a sauna as well.
