How does weight loss work?

Weight loss works based on “calories in, calories out”, i.e., you need to be burning more calories than you take in through your daily food intake. The key to managing your weight successfully is in ensuring that the calories that you consume do not exceed the calories that you use. There are also other factors to consider such as your age, body type and metabolism, on top of lifestyle factors such as your daily habits that all come into play into weight gain or loss.

What is the best weight loss treatment?

There are plenty of weight loss treatments available, but TCM slimming is one of the safest and best ways to lose weight. Our Divine Slim TM weight loss program encourages steady weight loss for effective and sustainable weight management. As compared to fad diets (diets that eliminate 1 or more food groups) that leave you feeling hungry and lethargic, or having to rely on machines to see results, our methods are backed by sound TCM principles that focus on facilitating your weight loss goals as well as cater to your overall health needs.

How does TCM help me lose weight?

Following the perspective that excessive weight gain is a symptom of a greater underlying health problem that needs to be addressed, TCM believes that excessive weight gain is due to a Qi deficiency in the spleen, resulting in a slow metabolism, water retention and weight gain. Using Guasha, a form of treatment used in the practice of TCM, special apparatus is used to attain preventive or therapeutic slimming effects. Not only does the treatment regulate blood circulation and detoxify the body, but it also improves your metabolism and digestion for slimming effects. No need for painful surgery, unnecessary machines or intensive diets!

Why should I choose TCM slimming over other weight loss methods?

TCM slimming focuses on returning your body to a balanced, healthy state – so, you can look forward to not only looking good but also feeling good about yourself! Although our weight loss program will help you achieve results, it is important to stay committed to investing in your overall health by paying close attention to your diet and exercise, both during the treatment and post-treatment. Our weight loss treatments are conducted by trained staff that does most of the work for you, so you can look forward to a relaxing treatment.

Who can benefit from TCM slimming treatment?

Both men and women are suitable for our signature Divine Slim TM program.

5 Fat Burning Low-Impact Exercises For Weight Loss

5 Fat Burning Low-Impact Exercises For Weight Loss

November 30, 2020

Blog

You’ve probably heard that heart-pumping cardio exercises like running and jump rope are great for burning fat. While that is true, these high-impact exercises put significant strain on your joints and might cause an overuse injury.

But not to worry! There are low-impact exercises that will get your heart pumping and give you a good sweat without putting stress on your joints. These exercises are great for people who are new to working out, recovering from injury or simply want a lighter workout. Don’t be fooled though; you’ll still feel the burn in your muscles.

Keep reading to find out the best low-impact exercises for weight loss.

1. Brisk walking

Walking is the easiest way to torch calories. Whether it’s on the ground or the treadmill, an hour of brisk walking can burn 200 – 500 calories. To boost your workout, you can wear a weighted vest or carry light dumbbells as you walk. Walking uphill can also help you burn as many calories as you would while running.

Keep your walks fun by exploring a new area around your neighbourhood or going on a hike with a friend! You’d be surprised at how effective this simple activity can be for weight loss and maintenance.

2. Swimming

Swimming tops the list when it comes to being joint-friendly. Nonetheless, it offers a full-body workout that works on your strength, cardio and flexibility all at the same time. The water provides resistance that pushes your muscles to work hard, but with barely any stress on your joints.

Depending on your weight, an hour in the pool can help you burn 300 – 500 calories.

3. Power yoga

Power yoga involves quick transitions between traditional yoga poses. The swift movements speed up your heart rate and get you sweating in no time. On average, a one-hour session of power yoga can burn about 400 calories.

The poses are a workout for your entire body, improving your strength and flexibility. Power yoga also builds lean muscle mass which boosts your metabolism as well. This intense form of yoga is a popular option for those working towards weight loss.

4. Pilates

Pilates is a popular low-impact exercise that focuses on strengthening your core. Pilates improves your flexibility, posture, balance and overall strength. At the same time, it builds muscle and burns fat, which enhances your metabolism.

There are many pilates studios in Singapore that offer classes using a reformer, which is a resistance device that is customisable to your capacity. But if going to a studio sounds intimidating for you, there are plenty of pilates workouts on YouTube that you can follow at home. All you need is an exercise mat!

An hour of pilates typically burns about 360 calories.

5. Cycling

Cycling is another low-impact cardio exercise if done at a moderate pace. Riding with the correct amount of resistance will not only alleviate stress from your joints but burn 400 – 600+ calories in an hour. Make your rides more exciting by alternating between hilly terrains, flat ground and sprints. Cycling can be done outdoors on a bicycle or in the gym on a stationary one.

Exercise is essential for weight loss and overall health. However, it takes time before your efforts pay off. If you’d like to maximise the results a little quicker, consider a slimming treatment to supplement your workouts.

At Slim Couture, we offer an all-natural TCM slimming treatment that boosts your metabolism and improves your overall health without any side effects. Taking care of your body inside and out is the key to reaching your health goals!
