If you really want to lose weight, START with movement and training.

1. Lift weights 2-4x per week

Doesn’t matter what style. Barbells, dumbbells, kettlebells, machines, bodyweight. They’re all great. They’re all simple to progress. Just make sure whatever you do, you do it with some intensity (everything works if you do).

2. Do cardio 1-3x per week

Running, rucking, biking, swimming, incline walking, jump rope, hill sprints, sled pushes…the options are pretty vast. Pick one that doesn’t make you want to throw your face in to a wall from boredom, and do it outside whenever possible.

3. Play a sport

This is honestly a cheat code. If you get addicted to a sport you enjoy (ANY sport) - that you do with other people, and the health benefits are just a byproduct of you getting better, and trying to dominate your competition - you’ll never have to worry about consistency again. Plus your effort level will be through the roof (because you’re playing).

4. Ramp up your steps

Lastly, aim for 8000-10000 steps per day. Or more. This can be done all at once or broken up, with people or without people, inside or outside (highly recommend outside)…it really doesn’t matter. Just get it done, and never let anyone convince you that walking isn’t exercise (it is). Walking will turn you in to a fat burning machine.

…..

Important note: you will not lose weight with training alone. You need a proper diet (the other half of the equation).

But improving your diet becomes A LOT easier if you’re active.

Few people want to eat well just for the heck of it (where’s the fun in that)?

Almost everyone who’s found a sport or form of training they enjoy will want to eat better to fuel their performance.

So focus on what your body can DO, and everything else tends to fall in to place!
