When loosing weight, while certain parts of your body may be slimming down, others will stay stubbornly flabby. The reason why this happens is that your body isn't really programmed to lose weight uniformly. Instead, it loses weight in direct response to what you're doing and which parts of your body you're working most.

The answer to this problem is very simple: start a total body workout routine. Total body exercises use a wide array of muscles in the body and promote uniform weight loss.

A perfect example of total body workout is swimming, which involves a lot of groups of muscles and it is a form of resistance training too. The swimmers have gorgeous bodies because swimming is indeed a complete body workout.

If you don't like swimming or you don't have access to a pool, the best alternative is aerobics, which also provides a total body workout routine. Aerobics exercising is very convenient because you can do it at home, anytime you feel like it. There are a lot of fun DVD's on the market that teach you how to get a good aerobics routine.

An alternative to aerobics is brisk walking. A longer walk, about 40 minutes, will do the rick. It is easy and pleasant, either early in the morning or late afternoon, before dinner. It is recommended to eat at least one hour after the workout.

Going to the gym is another option and a very important step for getting into a total body workout routine. Some people are not very decisive, it could expensive, or they don't have enough time, but it is highly recommended.

Some reasons you can consider when deciding to join a gym are: necessary equipments for your exercise are available to you in the gym; you will see people with the same goals as yours, like losing or gaining weight, building muscles, wanting to get fit, so you will get motivated; you will formulate a workout routine.

As a conclusion, I strongly suggest that you should start your workout routine as soon as possible. A total body workout should be on everyone's New Year's resolution list.
