Cardio exercises at home

I'm working out at the gym like 2-3 times every week and also doing cardio exercises at home like 4-5 times a week. I'm in so good shape now, so good that I almost think it's perfect as it is now and I should stop training. But training is more than just a hobby and looking good, it's a lifestyle. Without training I get stressy and I don't sleep as good as I do after a workout.

Jumping rope exercise

Jumping rope is a very simple but yet effective exercise you can do anywhere. At home, kindergarden, work. You just need a rope and some energy.

It's not a muscle-building exercise but it surely burns a lot of fat..

Another great workout is the cardio kickboxing workout. Here is a link to a kickboxing workout video

Motivation to lose weight with cardio

Keeping up the motivation to lose weight with cardio is very important for your success.

Here are some tips:
1st Set goals

What do you want out of your training? Want to get in top shape or you just have to cope with an ordinary gympapass without dying, you feel afterwards? What would it mean for you and your confidence, your relationships, your weight and your health if you exercise regularly?

When you know it is easier to set realistic goals and you also have the opportunity to celebrate when you reach there or some way. Reward yourself for your own progress with a refreshing new workout clothes, a wonderful aromatherapy massage or a half day at city spa.
2nd Use your self-knowledge

Each person is unique and we like all different of exercise. Please Choose something that feels light and inspiring. A form that provides energy and joy rather than something that feels heavy and forced.

What type of training suits you and your personality? Do you train alone or in groups?
Do you work out at certain times of the week or would you rather work out at your leisure?
Do you work out outdoors or indoors?
Do you want to vary your workout with different varieties or would you stick to a form that works for you?
Third Visualize your new I

See yourself already there, fresh, healthy and fit. See how much energy you radiate health and once you get in shape, see yourself flying up in small steps in the jogging track, hear comments from other "fresh and fit what you look like." Peppa yourself with positive affirmations (confirmation):

I ran the mile in XX minutes
I enjoy my training
I like my healthy lifestyle
I'm healthy and happy
I have decided to succeed
My body becomes stronger and stronger every day
It is easy for me to reach my goals
I say yes to myself
4th Search more knowledge

Buy books and magazines about exercise (and diet to maximize your results). Hire a personal trainer or a coach and motivation or attending courses and lectures on fitness and nutrition. Knowledge makes you learn to train more effective and tailored to your circumstances.
5th Continue despite plateaus

The motivation goes up and down. It is often easy in the beginning. You get fast results and you feel a bit "high". Then it happens that you get to the plateaus of various kinds as to let yourself go "mental garbage" that "there is no point to continue" "I have no discipline." "You can tell, after all, nothing that I train at a gym three times a week". Replace your negative thoughts to positive and continue though it feels heavy at times and you'll get to the periods with more desire and flow back.
6th Spend time with people who support you

Strengthen yourself by spending time with a lot of people around you who support and inspire you to stick to your vision of ours. Help each other, perhaps you could work out together?
