Cardio exercises are ones that get your heart rate up, which boosts your metabolism and burns fat. Exercises like jogging or running, swimming, biking, or using a rowing machine are great ways to start if you haven't done much cardio training before. When choosing your exercises, aim to pick activities that are moderate-intensity for you. You'll need to be out of breath, sweating and have your heart rate raised. HIIT is a great method for maximizing the amount of fat you burn in a single workout session. When you do HIIT, you'll want to get your heart rate as high as it can go for a short period of time, take a break, and then get your heart rate back up again. Make 1-2 of your cardio sessions in a week a HIIT workout. The combination of HIIT and steady-state cardio (like jogging for 30 minutes) is great for weight loss. In addition to participating in planned, structured exercise, try increasing how much you move throughout the day. This can also help your overall calorie burn throughout the day. Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can. When you go to the store or run an errand, park far away from the building and get in a short walk. If you have a one-on-one meeting at work, see if the other person would be okay with taking a walk as you talk. Bring your lunch to work and then walk to a nearby spot to eat it. Do quick exercises, like crunches, jumping jacks, or lunges, during commercial breaks as you watch TV. If you notice that you aren't losing weight or have plateaued, you might need to make your workouts longer or harder. As your body begins to get used to working out, it also makes exercising more efficient, which burns fewer calories. To fix this, increase the length of time you spend doing cardio exercises or do them at a faster pace for the same amount of time. For example, if you usually spend 20 minutes running each day, try going for 5 or 10 minutes longer each time. Or you can run at a faster pace for the same amount of time.

SUMMARY: Get in approximately 30 minutes of aerobic exercise a day. Add in high-intensity interval training (HIIT) to your exercise routine. Move more throughout the day. Increase the intensity of your workouts over time.

The first step to getting an organized bedroom is cleaning up the mess that you've already created. When you're done, the only things touching the floor should be your furniture. This is an important first step you'll have a much more difficult time cleaning around your clutter rather than you will have simply getting it out of the way. Once you have your floor completely clear, gather the items you picked up and decide whether you want to keep each item or get rid of it. Place the "keep" items in the box for things to keep and place the "get rid of" items in the box for things to throw away. Don't be afraid to part with items you haven't used in years and that don't hold any sentimental value. Saving an antique keepsake given to you by your grandmother may make more sense than saving a stack of last year's junk mail. To determine which items of clothing in your closet you need to get rid of, turn around all the hangers in your closet so the hooks are pointing towards you (the wrong way). When you wear something, hang it back up the normal way. In three to six months, any hangers facing the wrong way are holding clothes you haven't worn, and should go in the donation box. Consider the items you threw into the "get rid of" box when you gave your room an initial clean. Look them over and determine if they are worth donating or need to be thrown away. Give your used clothes and furniture to a secondhand store. Charities like Goodwill and the Salvation Army usually accept used items in good condition. Give your books to a library. By donating used books to a library, you give others the chance to discover new books. Sell or give away possessions online. Classified ad sites like Craigslist usually have sections devoted to getting rid of used goods for cheap or for free.

SUMMARY:
Pick up anything on the floor. Create boxes for things to keep and things to throw away. Donate or throw away any unwanted items.
