To prevent this situation from happening, I suggest two things. The first thing is some exercise that we can do at home. These exercises are easy and you do not need anything special, so you can do it when watching TV, reading a book, and so on. The second thing is information for an effective diet. This information includes some common sense related to dieting and some psychological information that can help you keep on track.
Exercise in the Living
You don’t have time to exercise? Lots of homework, appointments, and classes make us busy! Because of this, you may have no time to exercise. Of course, you can save time and do exercise at home. You can make exercise a daily part of your life by doing the following:
(1) In the subway
while you are sitting in the subway
Step1 Just sit up straight.
Step2 Squeeze both legs inside.
-This is called a horse-riding posture. This posture makes your legs tense and helps to strengthen the muscles and burn calories.
(2) When reading a book
Step1 Sit down and straighten your knees.
Step2 Move your leg about 45°one by one.
-Repeating this movement helps tense the thigh’s muscles and helps you lose weight.
(3) When you are walking
