Dance Party

Body movement does not need to be at a gym or even feel like a WORK-out. You can find enjoyable activities that can boost your metabolism and state of mind too.

Dancing can be an effective fat-loss tool for people who are overweight or have obesity … People who danced regularly lost about four more pounds — including three and a half pounds of fat — than those who didn’t dance. They also shaved an extra inch off their waists.

Participants who danced three times a week for at least 3 months reaped maximum benefits. And the more they let loose, the better — more creative dance forms led to more pronounced improvements in body composition.

Happy Woman Dancing

Weight Loss Expectations

This is more about consistency and ongoing habit. Remember anything you do is a positive over not doing any activity at all!

Dancing burns about 300 calories per hour, so it takes roughly 12 hours to lose one pound.

One Step at a Time

Consider your options:

  • Frame it as fun time Choose activities you enjoy or even used to enjoy - Make the actual reward the enjoyment of your recreational time well spent.
  • Consider group classes or go out with friends More the merrier works here too. Finding a social channel instead of solo may be all the mood making you need to get engaged and stay motivated.
  • Warm up, Take breaks Easy does it - Not trying to win any awards here, just be able to enjoy your new hobby each day, and slowly increase over time. Take breaks whenever you need one.

The meta-analysis revealed that compared to normal lifestyles dance had meaningful improvements in body mass(BM), BMI, waist circumference(WC), Fat(%), and fat mass(Fat(kg))…

Dance is effective on fat loss in people with overweight and obesity, and has a significant improvement on body composition and morphology. For its high efficiency and greater sense of enjoyment, dance can be a beneficial exercise intervention for fat loss.

Fitness is Fun

Lose weight and feel your best with a fitness routine

Being on a weight loss journey - you know that it takes hard work and dedication. But one of the best things you can do for yourself is to start a fitness routine. Exercise not only helps you burn calories and lose weight, but it also has a host of other health benefits, including improved cardiovascular health, stronger bones and muscles, and reduced stress levels.

Starting a fitness routine can be daunting, especially if you’re not used to exercising. But relax - you don’t have to start off running marathons or lifting weights like a bodybuilder. Even a little bit of exercise is better than none.

Remember, any amount of exercise is better than none. So start small and gradually build up your fitness routine over time. Read on for how to start a fitness routine that’s safe and effective for you.

On Your Marks

Maybe fitness isn’t on your mind, or maybe you’re looking for easier ways to boost your metabolism. Toning and building muscle helps many aspects of your physiology, along with baseline cardiovascular “cardio” workouts to round out the mix.

Always remember your health and safety are first and foremost. Do not do anything you aren’t comfortable with and stop if feeling pain or unease.

This is the day!
Start Today

Get Set

Before you jump in, consult with your doctor on any limitations to your fitness goals as pertain to your current well-being.

Go!

Choose activities you enjoy

If you don’t enjoy your workouts, you’re less likely to stick with them. So choose activities that you find fun and motivating. There are endless possibilities to choose from, such as walking, running, swimming, biking, dancing, yoga, and kickboxing.

Start slowly

… and gradually increase the intensity and duration of your workouts. Trying to do too much too soon you’ll more likely get injured or discouraged. Start with shorter, easier workouts and gradually increase the intensity and duration as you get stronger.

Set realistic goals

You won’ lose weight overnight. Set realistic goals for yourself, such as losing 1-2 pounds per week. This will help you stay motivated and on track. Coupling this with your weight loss guidance from Dr Aron is the best fit.

Healthy Holiday Guide #covid19

Author: Oksana Aron, MD Source: Weight Loss NYC Nov 23, 2020

Holiday Health

Smart advice from Dr. Aron on enjoying your holidays safely this year.

family gatheringThis article is a summary, download the full PDF version. [] © weightlossnyc.com

Three W’s

Three things to consider to keep your holidays safe this season — the three W’s

  • WEAR a mask
  • WASH your hands
  • WATCH your distance

Wear a mask

Choose a mask with two or more layers, to protect yourself and others from covid-19. Wear it over your nose and under your chin, with the side also snug on your face. You want to limit exposure of air in either direction between you and others.

Avoid touching the mask as well as other parts of your face (eyes, nose, mouth) with your fingers.

If using a reusable mask, you must properly wash it between uses. If disposible, please discard appropriately.

Wash your hands

Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If handwashing not available, use a hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol, and carry with you.

Allow hand sanitizer to dry on your hands, do not wipe it off. You want to allow the alcohol to absorb into your skin.

Watch your distance

Keep at least 6 feet (two arm lengths) away from people who do not live in your household. Even people without symptoms can be infectious.

Likewise be extremely mindful of those at highest risk of illness, for their safety give them space.

Virtual Family

Household members are those in your home consistently taking measures to reduce the spread of covid-19

Celebrating virtually or with members of your own household poses the lowest risk for spread. Your household is anyone who currently lives and shares common spaces in your house or apartment … family members, roommates or people who are unrelated to you.

People who do not currently live in your home, such as college students returning home from school for the holidays, should be considered part of different households.

In-person gatherings that bring together family members or friends from different households pose varying levels of risk.

Holiday Plans

Ho-ho-host

Communicate with guests in advance to manage expectations for your event.

Consider scaling down your gathering, limiting to those within your home and remote video with others if available.

If you must entertain, have a small outdoor meal, and limit duration to minimize exposure. Have people wear masks when not eating, and be seated in household groups 6 feet apart.

If indoors, keep windows open, or central ventilation on, including bathroom fans, to keep air circulating.

⧉ Exposure is cumulative — consider repeated shorter exposures equal to one larger event

Create “new traditions”

Use this experience to create new special memories instead of lamenting loss of old ones.

Consider some new themes:

  • Share virtual meals with others, and share recipes and dishes each have prepared.
  • Prepare meal items to share with others and hand-deliver on their porch or doorstep to avoid mutual exposure.
  • Enjoy holiday parades, sports and movies online. Find group games and activities to play together.
  • Create a gratitude journal or scrapbook for all to share what they are thankful for and other well wishes of good times past, present and future.
  • Virtual shopping and sales are a nice post party perk. Choose contactless options, delivery or curbside pickup.

Wrap it up

Keep the holiday gatherings simple this year

Feel free to branch out to new experiences and appreciate the spirit of the celebration with new traditions

Be mindful of the risks of travel for you or others coming to visit you. Exposure is cumulative — consider repeated shorter exposures equal to one larger event.

Most of all, enjoy yourself and live to celebrate another day.
