Cardio! 30-45 minutes a day every other day will help you lose the extra weight but don't eat more food because you exercise more. Allow the same amount of calories you take in as well

Elongate oneself! What I mean is when doing any core excercise try to elongate your arms above your head with a little bit of weights. Not only does it stretch your muscles that give a better rip but it also hits a lot more muscles.

Fitness is a lifestyle so you will need to take a little bit out of yours to pursue. Cardio for 30 minutes a day and an hour of muscle resistance for three days a week which can add more life than what you are putting out. THINK ABOUT IT!

So to start down the list and to use a little common sense to achieve the first steps to an amazing year:
*Tip 1- Lose the stress- Stress puts a toll on your body mentally and also physically, “Cortisol” which is release when your body is a heightened level of stress is a reason why you have cravings for more than just a salad. This great little hormone helps with a lot of different things but also helps store that extra few pounds of abdominal fat.
*Tip 2- Get sleep- Sleep is another big factor in weight gain; it causes your body to slow down your metabolism. If you have not enough sleep your body will just be naturally tired and using stimulants to keep you up will continue to keep you up the next night over so get 7-8 hours a sleep a night for premium weight loss.
*Tip 3- Eat Slower- Most of us usually over eats by about 200- 300 calories each meal because we eat to fast and do not allow our body to tell us we are full. The hormone “Leptin” is what tells us we are full but it takes some time for your body to register so try to plan out your meal and eat slower so you don’t over eat.
*Tip 4- of course “Diet”- You really don’t like to hear that but using a diet and sticking to it is very hard because most of us think vegetables and rice cakes. We think this but do we need to cut out the other stuff? Of course not we just eat too much of the wrong stuff, we just need to balance our meals and use common sense “Chocolate cake” is not a meal. Eating five smaller meals a day and eating them slower helps with naturally cutting calories and you have energy through out the day. Always balance it out with protein, Vegetables, dairy, and starches.
*Tip 5- Put down the drink- Everyone says these but drinks are a big culprit of weight gain and I am not just talking about alcohol beverages. Of course alcohol is a big factor because of the amount of drinking in one amount of time can pack on major calories but you have to look at the other drinks we consume through out the day. “Soda” this has the caffeine fix we need but with the calories we don’t want with just 110 calories a can drinking 5-6 cans a day on average you have already used about half of you caloric intake for the day. “Coffee” this is only a bad thing if you add the extra’s like creamer and sugar and cream so if you do drink this try to lay off of the bad stuff. Getting away from caffeine all together could also be a good thing; caffeine is a stimulant that raises you cortisol levels which of course also has a negative effect on your body.
*Tip 6- Exercise- Now this is the best thing for weight loss of course but you have to use it in the right way. Exercise is heart healthy and also helps to burn calories but be careful because if you work out you may have more cravings so try to eat the same amount of calories as you did when you did not exercise. Try to diversify with weight training and cardio because each has its benefits with weight loss.
This is the biggest of all Resolutions so hopefully this helps!
