It’s a busy, busy world out there and people usually only have time to work, sleep and eat. During Phase 1 of the HCG Diet, it’s very important that you do some form of resistance training at least 3 times per week. This doesn’t mean go and squat 300lbs, but rather train your body using what’s immediate available, your body. The following at home exercises will help you maintain and/or increase muscle mass while on the HCG Diet.

Regular Walking and Fast Walking
Even before getting home, you can already start your exercise program by walking. Walking is a great form of aerobic exercise and it also helps strengthen your cardiovascular system. After doing some regular walking, you can crank it up a notch by increasing the speed of your walking. Regular walking in itself is already great but, fast walking is even better in burning those pesky fats. Try to maintain the phase for as long as you can once your started fast walking. If you get tired alternate fast walking with slow walking.

Stepping
This is another great form of aerobic exercise that not only lets you lose weight, but also helps with toning your legs and buttocks.
For this exercise you can either use the stairs at your home or if you do not have stairs, you can buy stackable mats to form one. Go up and down an average of 20 steps and repeat it 2-3 times.

Squats
Squats are a strengthening exercise that is very good at shaping your buttocks and leg muscles. It is recommended that you do this in front of the mirror so you can see if you are doing it properly.
To start, you should position your feet in a way that it is level with your shoulders. While facing forward, squat up and down for about 20-30 counts in 2-3 sets. Once you built up your strength, crank it to the next level by buying dumbbells. You can start at 2- 5 pounds.

Pushups
This is another form of strength exercise that can develop arm and chest muscles. When doing pushups, make sure that your body can handle about 70% of your total body weight. Again, do 20 counts in 2-3 sets.

Combination
When performing resistance training on the HCG Diet, it is important to combine strength and aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercises are the ones that burn fat during the exercise itself while strength training builds muscles so that more of your fats will be used up as energy.

There are also instances that building up your muscles may result in an increase of weight, but do not worry. If it is muscles, then it is a good kind of weight gain.
