Stars like LeAnn Rimes, credit their weight loss to good old fashion exercising.  Time have proven and shown over and over that a good consistent and regular exercise routine will shed some weight off you. 

Below is a video by FitnessBlender, consisting of 8 simple cardio exercises.

I chose this video for the simplicity of the exercises.  I also like the video because of how FitnessBlender, show you how to do each exercise before they actually ask you to do them. 

The routine consist of 8 different exercises that you do for 45 seconds each, such as: 

Delayed Pendulum Swing/Hop...
Jumping Jacks...
Lateral Cross Lunges/Jumps...
4Jacks + Steps + 2 Crossover Jumps...
Lateral Burpees...
Running Man Kicks...probably the only one that would give you a real challenge with your balance...
2Hops Squats
Side Lunges + 2 Jacks

They are all body weight, so you will not need any equipment. Here is the video.. 

Quick Sweat Cardio Workout to Lose Weight & Burn Belly Fat Fast

I believe that anyone in somewhat good health without physical constraints can learn to do these.  If you are greatly overweight it may take you a little bit longer to learn and complete the routine, but it is learn-able. 

The exercises are simple but if you put in some efforts to and increase your speed as you get stronger, you will be surprise of the results you will get in 8 minutes.

This is just my own suggestion,  I would recommend that you add some dancing before your routine or after your routine.  Especially the type that makes you sweat, such as country and western line dancing.  

Dancing could help loosen you up and act like a warm up or cool down. It makes you feel good.  There seems to be a correlation between weight loss and feeling euphoric. 

The most  important thing here is for you to start and stick to a regular schedule, your plan, and be consistent.  Review your progress at 15 days intervals.  After you have learn the routine you may want to increase your time to 50 seconds and then to 60 seconds.

The next most important thing here is to incorporate your exercise routine with a  wholesome healthy meal plan consisting of lots of fiber.  You can continue eating what you love to eat as long as you also consume a lot of fiber and drink plenty of water daily.

Now, I understand that sometimes for whatever reason certain things get in the way...you somehow find yourself not being able to exercises, (maybe you are too busy or tired at the end of your day) or at a plateau where you are not losing anymore weight, or  obese or have a medical condition that prevents you from doing physical exercises. 

If you fall in any of those situations, I can still help you.  Take a look at the stories on this page Weight Loss Stories.
