Hi IMBBians,
Losing weight is not everyone’s top agenda. You know, I was extremely skinny during my college days. My mom would always say,”You’ll gain weight once you start working.” And boy, her prophecy turned out to be true. I don’t know how but I started to gain weight. I thought of reducing my weight and then I shifted to Delhi where all kind of junk food caught my attention. There are a lot of people who are obese and want to shed extra weight but they stay away from the gym. Some of them are not able to afford a gym membership while others get easily bored. So, for all such people who want to lose excess weight but without a gym, here are some fun options.
Swimming
You know swimming is one of the healthiest activities. Swimming, in the long run, will make your body strong. It not only increases your stamina but also improves your immunity. Swimming also strengthens your core muscles and gives you a very healthy and toned body.
Biking
Another cost-effective exercise is biking. A biking session can help you burn more calories than a gym session. Just keep adding variations, and this activity will tone your entire body in no time.
Dancing
Dancing is the most fun activity ever! Dancing is so much fun and burns a lot of calories too. You can easily join a zumba class too, or perform it at home with the help of online videos. If you don’t have the confidence to join a dance class, put on your headphones, blast some loud music and dance however you want to dance in your bedroom.
Yoga
