For those of you who can’t or don’t want to go to the gym but want a fast and effective workout, here are five steps that will get you to achieve the best results.

1. How much weight should I lose? Answer: If you're like most people, you've probably set very high weight-loss standards for yourself. This can lead to disappointment.

For most people, a weight-loss goal of about 5% to 10% of their body weight is realistic and rewarding.
