Do I sound healthy or should I start exercising more often?

I'm a 15 year old girl. I'm really serious about my health and I want to stay fit, it's my number one goal in life. I'm around 114 pounds, and 5 ft. 4. I was always very athletic but over the summer I really let myself go, and now I don't remember the last time I exercised. I was 110 pounds and I went up to 116, then back down to 114.I've been eating alright I guess, kind of fattening foods but not too bad. I have noticed a bit weight gain in my legs and hips, but do you think I really should worry? For some reason I think my muscles are so much worse, my legs used to be so thin and rock hard when I flexed my muscles, now when I flex they are just flabby fat and skin. Do you think I should start exercsing again? it's a little tough since I have so much school stuff to worry about, but is it really important to?

Is running a good way to trim fat off the body and exercise the legs?

I've been trying to get in shape the past three years.When I started, my asthma was so bad that I ran 400 meters and needed an inhaler plus a break or I couldn't breathe. Also, the winter air was brutal on my lungs. At 16 I was able to lose a considerable amout of weight after dieting and exercising as much as I could. I weighed 180 at the time. Now I weigh 160 but I also gained a lot of muscle mass. The doctor used to classify me as obese, now I am at an "average" as far as BMI is concerned. I have a decent base of strength. I can support my body weight and then some.My issue is however, I have a bit of fat on my stomach, thighs and arms. I have man boobs and a belly. At a distance it won't be noticed, but as you get closer you will see it. If I am wearing a shirt, you would think that I am skinny but when I take it off you would see I am a bit chubby.Mind you I only recently started running with more effort. Up until recently I only ran 3 minutes straight, then walked 5 minutes because that was the most I could handle.I am fairly certain I have beat out my asthma as I just ran 45 minutes straight! I didn't even need medicine this morning. I'm still unsure about the cold air though... I've been using an iphone 10k trainer appBut will running help me trim fat? Also, is running a good leg workout or do I still need to do weights for my legs?I don't know much about exercise and I was pretty much alone in all of this.

How to Lose Stomach Weight Fast

Recommended Answer:

I love your effort.In my amateur opinion and based upon experience, you should do crunches, aerobic activities to lose weight apart from running because it builds muscles. Also, you could lose the fat first by lowering your caloric intake, do long walks instead, and then tone or tighten your muscles by running. (If you have too much fat, rigorous activities is the perfect quotient for a heart attack. Your waist line shouldn't exceed 36" because it could lead to other problems, too. Check out one of the studies here, http://channels.isp.netscape.com/homerealestate/package.jsp?name=fte/waist37/waist37.)If you have an ideal BMI in mind, find out what your weight should be and the amount of calories you need to get there and maintain it. A calorie counter, http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm, will help with this, and learn what's in your food, http://calorielab.com/index.html.I know people who never stepped in a gym and have visibly beautiful muscles. In addition to running, you could cycle or pedal while sitting in a chair. Even better, stretch out your legs and flex your feet as far up and back as they could go holding each for a second and count as many as you could and push each day for the same amount. The body works best when it's programmed, so do 50-100 and each week add more seconds while doing that amount every day. You will see your calves contracting and retracting. If you could do this five times a week, you will see results in a month.Hey, but don't forget, you should consult with your doctor before you start any exercise regimen.PS: Being my own doctor keeps me out of the doctors office. Prevention is always good!

Other Answers:

• Obviously, running is a great way to trim fat and exercise the legs. What matters is the duration and intensity of your running. For example running sprints up San Francisco hills is more intense than jogging around the track at the YMCA.

When I lose weight, would this work?

I will eat the right foods, and drink alot of water, and do cardio 4x a week. I want to know if I weight trained with lighter weights while I was dieting and took whey protein isolate would I still lose the weight and keep my muscle I have already.Also1. Does cardio create muscle loss and make it look like less muscle is there.2. There is like 1g of creatine in the whey, so if I took that would it affect weight loss.

How to Lose Weight Hiking

Recommended Answer:

I'm done with my weight loss journey and completely happy with how I feel and how I look right now however losing weight is a challenge for anyone and even losing 5 pounds and keeping it off isn't an easy task. Also I bet you didn't know that 5 pounds of fat is about the size of 8 cheese burgers? That alone should be enough to make anyone want to get on the ball and start a change for the better. Weight loss can be really easy to learn but the problem is nobody wants to put the required effort that is needed to actually do it, instead people continually look for (easy) ways to do it. If there was an easy way to lose weight I don't think 35% of Americans would be obese. There was a time when I also wanted to lose weight and was tired of starting diets only to lose motivation and give up just a few weeks later after seeing no results. However, let me tell you it is literally one of the easiest things you will ever learn once you find a good and reputable place to learn it from and I say that only because the world is filled with magic diet pills, liquid flush diets and a thousand other quick fixes that promise xx pounds of weight loss in the first week and even though it is impossible they know you're going to do it because your desperate. I have probably tried every diet pill, liquid flush diet, and ab rocket machine known to man and have had no success with any of them nor do I know anyone that has ever had any success with them. I have also tried starving myself which works very well for the first few weeks' right before your metabolism comes to a complete stop and eating just the tiny bit makes you gain weight and you end up weighing more than you did before you started starving yourself. Companies promote weight loss to make money not to get people healthy again and that's because they know you're not going to be a customer and buy their products if you're no longer fat. http://fatloossfactor.com is a site I want you to go to when you have 10 or 20 minutes to spare and I want you to sit down and watch his video on weight loss. He helps people every day to lose weight I have never seen someone as committed as him and that will go so far out of his way to help someone. His weight loss program is one of the best I have ever had the enjoyment of doing and it is without doubt the best success I have ever had with any weight loss program. I also couldn't be happier with my body right now and I have never felt this wonderful in my whole life. In the end you just got to remember to stick with it and stay confident in yourself and in no time you can achieve the results you have always wanted. It's not hard to lose weight but most people have a hard time staying motivated and 9 times out of 10 it was because they weren't really committed from the beginning. Anyways I hope I helped you and I hope you make the commitment to change your body and life. Remember it's not easy to take the first step but you did, you're here right now taking it and the rest of the steps will fall into place. Have a wonderful day.

Other Answers:

• Try lifting weights with more weight. But any kind of weight training is good. Whey protein can help too. Take it after workouts.Cardio can only create muscle loss if you do too much and eat to little. So eat a little more to complement the cardio.Creatine will not affect weight loss. Take it before workouts.Good luck!

First time drinking Protein Shakes... What to do?

Hey everyone, I am a 15 year old girl and I weigh 92 pounds. I know that's probably a little too light for my age, but I'm slim and healthy. I really want to gain some more weight, just because it's so hard to find clothes for me and it will give me that extra self confidence. So my mom went out and bought me a big bottle of Protein powder. It's in a black box and it tastes like vanilla. I'm not sure of the brand name at the moment but that probably doesn't matter anyways.Okay, so my main question is, what type of workouts should I do as a teenager and when is the right time to drink the protein shake? I already know the necessary dieting to gain healthy weight.Also, I don't necessarily want to gain fat, but I want to gain muscle to make me appear thicker I guess? If anyone knows any good workouts to gain more muscle in the glutes, and thighs, I would appreciate it. So my real questions:1.) When do I drink protein powder shakes?2.) What are good workouts that will help me gain muscles mass in my legs?3.) What is the best way to prepare protein shakes to gain weight.Please don't tell me to eat junk food or anything stupid like that..I would really really appreciate it if someone could help me out!Sorry this was so longThanks! :)

How Does Losing Weight Affect Health?

Recommended Answer:

1) Never2) You need to study for this one. Goals first, then plan your workout3) NoneProtein supplements are not the answer to weight gain. Food is.If you're an ectomorph (very thin/skinny) or near ectomorph you will have difficulty gaining weight because of your somatype, not because of metabolism. So, if you want to change that and add some pounds there are two ways to do it. Both may work and neither may work. Your success is going to ultimately depend on your body chemistry which is inherited (genetic).FATThe difference between naturally fat and naturally thin people is the number of fat cells in their body. An endomorph may have as many as 250 billion adipocytes (fat cells) while the ectomorph may only have about 50 billion. There's no way to change your total adipocytes or their distribution throughout your body. How fat or thin you are has almost nothing to do with metabolism.You can try adding fat by eating more food. You should eat a proper diet which is about 50/20/30 (%calories from carbs/fats/protein respectively) and just consume more food. You should NOT eat junk food, increase your carbs, take supplements, consume more fat, etc. Just eat a proper, well balanced diet in increase the portions (serving sizes). If you are able to add body fat, you will have no control over where the fat goes or how it looks. In other words, the result could be "skinny fat" which is probably less appealing aesthetically than skinny. And, of course, if you don't like the fat, you'll just have to lose it to get back to where you were.MUSCLEYou can try adding muscle. It is always good to try to add muscle because muscle is the best metabolic investment you can make. Here are some of the benefits of strength training.• Stronger bones & increased mineral density (osteoporosis protection)• Stronger body & musculature (improved protection from injury)• More robust organic and systemic fitness (more survivable in crisis) • Improved cardio-vascular function (better than "cardio")• Higher basal metabolic rate (~5-50 cal/day/pound of muscle)• Easier fat loss (more efficient lipid consumption)• Greater calorie consumption (prolonged afterburn)• Supports body sculpting (hypertrophy)• Slows natural loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia) over age 30Adding muscle is a very slow and difficult process. Watch this video for more about that ---> http://www.youtube.com/user/scooby1961#p/search/0/Xcuhi6RaZ24 . On average males can add no more than about a pound of muscle per month and females can add about 20% less and that is only under ideal circumstances which are rare. However, if you're a teen, you may find adding muscle to be almost impossible because you will not have your lifetime maximum of testosterone (the muscle building hormone) until about your mid20s. Adding muscle means very intense (and painful) training for a few hours per week and usually requires a gym or gym facilities. It also requires some understanding of how to train (exercise physiology, kinesiology, muscle anatomy, etc) which usually means some time spent with a personal trainer. Adding muscle is a difficult and long term process and, once the muscle is added, the training must continue to maintain the muscle.Ectomorphism is an unhappy an occurrence because being very thin can effect self esteem and inhibit social interaction. However, the ectomorph will usually, in adult life, find it easier to achieve and maintain an ideal or close to ideal body weight because people naturally tend to grow fatter and/or more robust as they grow older....especially with proper diet and training. In other words, being underweight now may be paying it forward. You may reap the benefits with a nice body while your midlife peers are fighting the battle of the bulge.Note - Do not use pills, tonics, supplements, shakes, or other products which claim they can help increase body weight without first checking with your doctor. The scammers are very much aware of the plight of the ectomorph and there are scores or companies with products and advertising all designed to capitalize on your misfortune for their profit. Don't be a sucker.So, they may not be ideal. But those are your two options. Fat and/or muscle.Now, read this --> http://www.eatright.org/Public/content.aspx?id=6852#.UDnVaKAUOFARead my answer about protein supplements --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ApxC6qroydrMsf1xrAgyC6Pty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20130115003646AALCRaD Read my answer about supplements here --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmA35VDViBrL0y9rSkKcLknty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111001134224AANB0OVRead my answer about supplement scamming here --> http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aii1OzUVjBo7o550CXhmvVbty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20111014151252AAak0J4Good luck and good health!!♠

Other Answers:

• 1) you do not need really protein shakes, at most you need 1gr protein per lb of your body weight, eating ONLY protein shakes will get you in a metabolic imbalance at long term because of vitamin deficiency.2) You can do weighted lunges, mountain climbers, weighted donkey kickbacks but the most important thing you should do is SQUATS there is no better exercise for general growth and low body growth. Go slowly but steady, first master proper form, then use dumbells, then use the bar, then start adding weight 5 lbs increments, you will have a great ass in the end, call me to check if it's already hot enough for an alpha male like me.3) Do not eat junk food that's BS unless you want cholesterol high levels and to die young, you can rely on a protein shake 2 times a day, and that is after workouts and before going to bed. Use some coconut oil on those shakes like 10ml.Also mix them with some carbs if your powder does not contain any, or less than 4g carbs per 30 grs scoop. Good carbs are oat, sweet yam, use 100 grs of them in each shake, if you feel like hungry while on the workout you should eat more carbs, no more protein, you can add a banana with the preworkout shake, bananas are mostly carbs do not eat them if you are not going to workout.Protein must be for building muscle, carbs for energy, and fat for delaying digestion, muscle growth hormones and your woman cycle. Get this concept and make changes accordingly. Track how you feel.Protein intake must be steady throughout the day for a proper muscle growth, fat must be present from the afternoon and at night. Carbs mostly eaten in the morning and preworkout avoid eating a lot of carbs at night. Fruits are cool or the shake with fruits.20 grs of protein for each meal is good, meals every 3 hours, 2 of them are the aforementioned protein shakes, the other 3 try to eat yogurt-fruit-nuts, avocado-integral bread-3 slices of ham-cottage cheese, spinach-chicken-olive oil- potato or fish-rice-green vegetables. You can eat apples between meals [not bananas]That's a safe start but you need to track and dive into nutrition or ask another pro. And listen to your body.Good luck and show the world not only a hot body but a healthy hot body like the male version of what I have. You can reach me on lior_matan@yahoo.com but if you do not understand a thing of what I'm talking, visit a nutritionist.

Jog/Walk a mile when you wake up & before bed. Only drink water.It seems to me like you're really looking to tone your body, not lose a bunch of weight. Do 30 crunches, sit ups, and push ups every day. Leg lifts, squats, whatever. Do toning exercises along with the jogging.

How much weight can i lose in 2 months? wanting to tone up?

I am very good at procrastinating, so of course I''ve waited until the last months before summer to get in shape. I am a Female at 5''6 and 137 pounds. I''m not overweight but I definitely have some "flab" I want to get rid of. My question is how much weight could I lose in two months (for someone my size) ? I do about 2 hours of cardio 5 times a week, and I have been eating healthier. My main problem area is my stomach, what are the best exercises/food for weight loss in that area? Thank you, any other advice is welcome!

The Oprah Paradox - Why is Losing Weight So Hard, Even For Oprah?

Recommended Answer:
The best way to loose weight is gradually so you won''t be as likely to put it back on. It sounds like you only need (or want) o loose about 5-10 pounds which is most definitely doable in a period of two months! Remember:
1) the weight is not going to come off overnight
2) eat clean for 6 days of the week and treat yourself on the 7th. well, you don''t need to do this but it works for a lot of people :-)
3) by ''eating clean'' I don''t mean just salads or whatever. Don''t believe those ''dont eat carbs after lunch'' things etc., eat a big breakfast of something like muesli, fruit and a slice of toast with fat free peanut butter or jam - a medium lunch of fish or chicken with salad, and a tiny dinner of pasta, fish (not if you''ve eaten it for lunch lol), low fat curry. Of course these are just suggestions :-)
4) exercise regulary! As often as you can. I know its hard, im a procrastinator too, but do it whenever you have time. Running and cycling are the two that work best for me, but I also like going to the gym - treadmill, cycling machine, rowing machine, eliptical. Check out pop pilates on YouTube, the girl that does it is awesome.
5) never ever give up. No matter how hard it gets. OH, and weigh yourself in the morning after you''ve got up so water bloating etc. aren''t an issue.

• It totally depends on your daily disciplined routine and your diet. If you want to loose weight quickly then i will suggest you that you can take weight loss supplements with proper routine. To buy the weight loss supplements you can go to the given link.
• It depends you daily discipline. If you take proper step to loss weight then I think you must loss a noticeable weight after 2 months. But if your step is not proper then you have a very small loss of weight after 2 months and it will be harmful to you.

Its an extreamly hard workout, the hardest ive ever done! It really kicks your ass! You will get ripped doing this if you follow through and eat right, thats for sure. Im looking more at measurements than weight though since muscle weighs more than fat

  I did it for just two weeks and I saw my body transform already in that short time. It was a small change, but you could definitely tell i lost weight.

How much weight can I lose in 5 months?

If I eat healthy food and only eat junk food once a day for a dessert and exercise 2 times a day and dance around for about 1-2 hrs everyday?

Best Exercise to Lose Weight For You

Recommanded Answer:
With exercise and the right diet, you could lose 10 lbs every month. A good plan would be:

Breakfast: low fat milk on cooked 9-grain cereal (from health food store), mixed with cooked oatmeal and wheat bran. Add some nuts and berries. Drink hot Ovaltine.

Lunch: Egg, tuna or turkey sandwich on whole grain bread with bean or alfalfa sprouts and yogurt w/fruit. If you had meat loaf for dinner, bring a meat loaf sandwich (NO mayo). On cold days, a squatty thermos of hot chili, split peas with ham or beef stew.

Snacks: Fresh (not canned) fruit: banana, orange, apple, kiwi, grapes, peach, nectarine, cherries, pineapple. No chips and nothing ever from a vending machine.

Dinner: salad with white meat chicken and fresh (not canned) veggies: tomatoes, 2 kinds of lettuce, 2 kinds of shredded cabbage, shredded or sliced carrots, alfalfa or bean sprouts, zucchini, hard boiled eggs, brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, tofu, cottage cheese...Instead of dressing, squeeze 1/4 tomato over it.

Or homemade bean/vegetable soups; great way to recycle leftovers.

Or omelet: In blender, whip together eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, onions, garlic powder. Cook with mushrooms, chopped tomatoes.

Foods to avoid: junk food, pastries, desserts, sugar, salty foods, syrup (even canned fruit in syrup), peanut butter, fatty/greasy foods (pork, wieners, chops, bacon, salami, pizza), pasta, potatoes, white bread, rice, canned veggies, ice cream, fast food, soda, chips. And of course no tobacco or alcohol in any form. Both of those add wrinkles and destroy your brain. No oil except olive and mac nut. Coffee also rots your brain.

To keep your skin clear, drink water. Veg. juice is good too. But not canned juice (too much sugar.)

Join a gym; they have all the equipment and staff to show you how to use it to get the look you want to achieve. Much cheaper than buying your own equipment. Also hiking, biking, jogging, bowling, swimming, badminton, tennis...

If you lack energy to exercise, take stress B vitamins.
To lose weight, try an appetite suppressant.

Why is 35mins of cardo better than 60mins?

Does anyone know why 35mins is sufficient to burn fat more than doing more? Is it because you can only burn a certain about of fat in one session?

I used to do 35mins of running and would lose 0.5KG/ 1.11lbs 3 times a week and my weight just dropped off but when I do more than 35mins I don't lose any more than 0.5KG/ 1.11lbs. Why is that?

Many thanks in advance!

Lose Weight, No Sweat!

Recommanded Answer:
Your suspicions are correct.

Here's how it works: Your first-tier energy stores that are burned up during exercise are your fat stores (glycogen). The problem is you burn them completely up after about 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise. After you burn those stores out, your body starts burning muscle instead of fat.

This is why trainers and exercise physiologists tell you not to do more than 40 minutes of cardio at a time. It's also why they tell you to lift weights first if you're going to do strength training and cardio in the same workout -- if you burn out your first-tier energy stores by doing cardio, you will have a much less effective strength training workout.

• You're working your heart harder in a faster period of time, the pulse is higher and therefore it does more good than 60 minutes
• Afterburn, and metabolism in general, basically you can only train explosive until you start burning fat(it's literally the sign you need to take it easier, and your body always listens).
  
  So exploding for 35 mins, means you can dig deeper, and train all-out, and have the effects of that last till far after your training.
  
  If you train 60 mins, you will start 'pacing yourself' after about 30 mins, which means you're not training as efficiently, or as explosively anymore. So you're far less effective.

If I eat healthy food but big portions will I still lose weight ?

I just went to the grocery store & I bought Special K cereal , Special K chips , chicken breast , green bell peppers & broccoli & I've already eaten mostly all of it or at least tried it. Will I still lose weight as long as I'm not eating fast food & still eating foods that are healthy for me ???

Recommanded Answer:
No.

To lose weight you have to burn more calories than you eat.

I'd suggest you start tracking the calories you eat and the calories you burn until you have a better idea of what your body really needs. Sparkpeople.com has been really helpful for me in that way.

• If you aren't eating the correct portions and exercising I'm pretty sure you won't loose much. You might loose a but, but not much.
