15 Ways To Feel Lighter By The End Of Today

Get ready to fit into those skinny jeans...

By Leta Shy for POPSUGAR Fitness 

Slimming down takes time and dedication, but a few quick tricks can help you feel a little bit lighter in just one day. Read on to feel less bloated and puffy—and get a flatter belly—by the end of today!

In The Morning...Drink Hot Water and Lemon

A mug of hot lemon water in the morning wakes up your digestive system and helps get things moving. You can drink green tea with lemon if you don't like the taste of warm lemon water on its own.

Go Dairy-Free
Many people experience belly discomfort and bloating after eating dairy. If you can relate, avoid cream and yogurt at breakfast. These dairy-free breakfast recipe ideas will help you nix the yogurt, cheese, and milk to help you feel better (and slimmer).

Detox With Yoga
Yoga twists can support digestion to help rid your body of toxins. This yoga detox sequence includes plenty of twists and stretches to help you wake up and feel your best.

Have a Tropical Snack
Both pineapple and papaya contain enzymes—bromelain and papain, respectively—that help banish bloat by breaking down protein and easing digestion. Snack on a bowl of cut-up fruit, or make this papaya, pineapple, and coconut water smoothie for a midmorning snack.

All Day Long...

Slow Down
Eating too quickly can cause air to be trapped in your system, so chew slowly to minimize bloating.

Don't Chew Gum
It's a secret of de-bloating brides—stop the gum chewing to feel less puffy. And it's not only because chewing gum causes you to swallow more air; many gums contain sugar alcohol, which also can make you feel bloated.

Drink More Water
Good old H2O helps flush your system of toxins and extra salt, which can be responsible for that puffy feeling. Keep a water bottle with you at all times to remind yourself to drink more water throughout the day and ensure you're always filling up.

Dance It Off

I received "Dance It Off With Vicky Binns" in the post the other day.  I had no idea who she was but I kind of recognised her face.  I think she is from Coronation Street.

She started off at 10 stone odd and lost quite a lot of weight and she looks really fit on it!



         This is for Region 2 which means it will not play on most US and Canadian systems

Anyway, this morning I watched it and then went back to try out section one Street Dance.

She is doing this DVD in tandem with her trainer Rachel Ravenscroft.  I was a bit surprised to see it but actually it is very helpful.  She looks very much like her trainer in her dance moves and that is cause for congratulations to both of them.

You need to do a proper warm-up before you do any of these movements.  If you are like me, a bit ancient and/or haven't done any serious exercise recently then you need to do a long warm-up taking it fairly slowly until your body realises you are quite serious about punishing it!  The warm-up on this dvd is not for you - find a more sedate one.

I couldn't pick up everything at once and that is only to be expected but I really really enjoyed it and am looking forward to being able to produce something that looks vaguely like street dance.
