3 Great At Home Weight Loss Resources

It can be a struggle, especially with a new baby, to be able to go out to the gym to loose those post pregnancy pounds. At the minute I don't have the time nor money to go out to the gym and so I've had to find methods of weight loss that I can do at home and that are budget friendly. So, I thought I'd share 3 great at home weight loss resources that I have been using to help shed the unwanted post pregnancy pounds.

YouTube

 I think YouTube is a wonderful resource for so many different types of exercise and weight loss videos. I've made myself a few playlists of videos from different channels that I've been working into my weight loss routine. Some of my favourite fitness channels include The Body Coach, Fitness Blender, Popsugar Fitness, XHIT Daily and BeFiT. Some of these channels include lots of different types of exercise such as dance, yoga, boxing etc as well as some recipes that always look super yummy.

My Fitness Pal 

As well as exercise, healthy eating is also important, especially knowing what your body actually needs in terms of calories, fats, proteins etc. I use My Fitness Pal to track what I'm eating, my water intake and my calorie burning. I love standing there scanning barcodes on my food and seeing my graphs change. I also did a lot of reading about the types of food I should be eating and implemeted those into my meals.

Videogames 

I feel sad for the Wii U because I think it's such an underrated console, and it's been incredibly useful for my weight loss routine. I have always loved dance games and I own a few from the Just Dance series. The games also have a sweat option which can be used for exercise and weight loss. Plus when you're dancing it doesn't feel like a chore which exercise can sometimes feel like and it becomes a lot of fun. 

My honey also bought Wii Fit U for me. I used to play the original Wii Fit and in my younger years I lost 2 stone just using that game alone. The Wii Fit U also come with a Fit Meter that you attach to your clothes that tracks your steps, calorie burning and MET data which you then sync into the game. I'm currently doing the Walking Challenge to London on the game. It has an array of different types of exercise too and I've become a little addicted to playing Puzzle Squash!

Let me know what kind of things you do to keep fit or loose weight! I'm always looking for more ideas to incorporate into my weight loss routine.
