Bone spurs comes from a change in pressure on a certain part of the body, usually the feet, which causes growth or projection on the edge of the bone. Although not painful themselves exercising for weight loss with it can be very discomforting. The movements of exercise causes rubbing, interference with ligaments and tendons or the placing of pressure on nerves of the feet. Spurs may also limit the range of motion of a limb or joint making it difficult to get an intense workout.

So, what is an effective weight loss program for someone with bone spurs?. Chair exercise programs reduces the pressure by not placing the weight of the upper body on the feet. Chair exercise programs such as Chair-A-Cise which is designed specifically for fat burning, toning and weight loss can be just what the doctor ordered for reducing trauma and heavy impact for the feet but still provides an intense effective program. However, what’s most important is to begin some type of exercise plan because one of the causes of bone spurs is weight gain. (For more information regarding Chair-A-Cise visit  www.chairacise.com)

This is my favorite time of year to exercise outside. Cooler evenings, not to hot nor to cold weather and the sun provides just enough warmth. However, soon we will lose sunlight and the weather will significantly drop which means you will have to be more creative to get those weight loss and fat burning workouts in.

There are several steps to adjusting to the Fall season.

1. Exercise DVD- Have an effective DVD at home, such as Chair-A-Cise. They really come in handy if you are not in the mood to go to the gym or it’s to dark or cold outside.

2. Change your routine- This will avoid boredom while creating excitement and anticipation while providing an extra burst of energy.

3. Lastly, fuel your body with vegetables, fruits, water and lean meats to avoid the stuffed can’t exercise mood which is easy to get in the fall and winter months.

Just because the seasons change don’t use it as an excuse to stop you from obtaining your fitness goals. For more information on Chair-A-Cise visit www.chairacise.com.

 

Weight Loss Exercising for People with Bad Feet

If you have bad feet  many popular weight loss cardio routines such as running, P90X, Turbo Fire, 6 Day Melt or Insanity may not be doable. However, you can choose from other options which are gentle or at least not as impactful but provides a great fat burning workout. For success you must research, experiment and compare to choose a program which is suitable for you.

Walking is the easiest and cheapest option, however you have your entire body-weight applying pressure on your feet and the heavier the person the more painful the experience may become. Also, with just walking weight loss is going to be a slow process. Although treadmills are the most popular cardio equipment at the gym and great for burning calories and boosting your heart rate, it requires impact between a hard surface and your feet. Swimming is a great cardio exercise because the water lifts the body and the swimming  movement actually places no impact on the feet. However finding a swimming pool may not be feasible and changing in and out of clothes can be rather cumbersome. One of the best exercise for feet issues is Chair-A-Cise, a chair exercise weight loss DVD. When you are in a seated position the pressure of your upper body is not involved thus reducing the stress on the lower joints, particularly the feet. Chairacise, www.chairacise.com, is designed specifically for fat burning, toning, strength training and to drop pounds.

Remember it’s most important to listen to your body or should I say your feet in determining which exercise program provides comfort while producing weight loss results.
