4. Burn 500 Calories a Day
With your nutrition in check, you can really melt the fat with some serious calorie burn every day. If you do one activity that makes you break a sweat for 60 minutes, you’ll easily reach the 500 calorie mark. If an hour at a time is too intense, you can break up your sweat sessions throughout the day. Stick to this daily plan to burn a pound of fat in just one week.
5. Healthy Meal Replacement
You can quickly cut back on calories by replacing a meal with a protein shake, smoothie or juice. The key is to choose ingredients that are low in sugar and calories, but high in protein and nutrients to keep you satisfied. Swapping out our breakfast for a healthy smoothie is a, easy change to make during the summer. Not to mention, you can save time and money in the process.
6. Hit the Weights
Even though it sounds backwards, building muscle is a major key to slimming down. If you can do at least 2 days of strength training each week, you’ll build the lean muscle you need to burn more calories when you’re doing absolutely nothing. You will probably start to look slimmer too because muscle takes up less space than fat. Be sure to use weights for all your muscles, especially larger muscle groups like your legs and back for an extra metabolism boost.
