You want to lose weigh for the summer and need something fun. According to you, going to the gym is out of the question. However you would like to do some type of activity that does not involve going to the gym, especially now that spring is here.

Jumping rope, roller skating, ice skating, riding a bike, walking can be very effective

To achieve any weight loss, you really need to exercise and eat an overall healthy diet that consists of complex carbohydrates: whole wheat foods that would be great for fiber and needed nutrients, lean protein to help build muscles and repair your body, and good amounts of fat for energy the body needs that your body cannot create on its own.If you do interval cardio work out and some additional resistance training, not only will you lose weigh, but you will also help your body become leaner and tone. As a result, overall, you will look fit and your core will become stronger.It is good to include cardio as part of your routine. Activities such as walking, biking and skating, once they become part of your repertoire, you will burn calories, but eating healthily should be part of your routine as well. Don't stick to the same cardio, try to change your routine from time to time, not only you will challenge yourself but you will avoid hitting a plateau. Add jogging, hiking, swimming on alternate days. Variety is the spice of life.As you progress, add some abdominal work and don't forget to focus on your obliques (your "love handles").Keep in mind that muscles weigh more than fat, you may be heavier , as you are looking leaner as well. Eventually the more muscles you build, the more fat you can burn. More muscles will help you burn more calories at rest. And then eventually the fat will come off.However, it may take some takes time. Remember, it is possible to be leaner and stronger, but weight more. Don't give up and stay motivated. Remember, that everyone is different and that we all lose weight differently. Just be patient.

As far as diet goes:

- Try to avoid sweets.

- drink water,

-Under any circumstances should you drink sodas diet or otherwise.

- small portions, chew slowly and sip your drink often to help fill you up.

- small healthy snacks during the day keep your metabolism running.

- count your calories; you should consume between 1,500 to1800 per day; depend on your height And your frame; if you're male, you don't need more than 2,000; depend on your height and your frame.

- Try not to cheat. You can't sneak a couple of cookies and think they won't affect you. Look at how many calories are in those cookies before you put them in your mouth. You'll be surprised how much little snacks like
