So first lets get straight I have never exercised willingly in my life, I am 17 and 129/120 pounds and 5'8I gained 10 pounds, leaving my hips with a massive band of fat, making my waist wider and my thighs largerMy stomach bulges out - now I have STOMACH FATI cannot exercise too intensely - today I started exercising and I could only manage 5 measly minutes on the cross trainer at intensity level 5/6 What other things can I do? I tried jumping rope and could only do 3 minutes MAX straight at a fast - medium pace But I can do many lunges and squats - way better than cardioSo now you know what I can do, can you please tell me things to do and how many sets of reps and whether to do it every morning and/or night etc and for how long to do things etc (like now you know my maxiumum for cross trainer is 5 minutes straight, maybe I can do that every morning and night? IDK)thanks a lot to whoever will answer this I really really really really appreciate it!
How to Suggest That Your Girlfriend Lose Weight
Recommended Answer:
First off, jumping rope is HARDCORE cardio. That stuff is intense, believe it or not.Cardio can be as simple as getting on an elliptical or arc trainer and keeping you heat rate around 130 bpm for 15 minutes.Try this1. Consume between 1500-2500 calories a day. Trying to stick to fish, almonds, walnuts, and lean proteins in general, plenty of raw fruits and vegetables, and complex multigrain carbohydrates.2. Do NOT starve yourself, do NOT binge eat. Plan your meals and snacks out throughout the day so you never get too hungry.3. Be as active as you can; nothing to do for 10 minutes? Knock out 10 push-ups.4. Eat some spicy foods, and drink between a half-gallon and a whole gallon of WATER a day. Avoid anything deep-fried, white bread, sprinkles, and any refined sugar.5. No more soda. Ever.6. If you do drink coffee, drink it black.7. Do at least 35 minutes of cardio straight at least once a day, at least three times a week, more if you are not trying to put on muscle.8. Do a large amount of full body exercises whenever possible (Jumping Jacks, Pull-ups, Chin ups, dips, squats, hanging leg raises, hanging knee raises, back raises, glute ham raises, burpees)9. Get at least 6 hours of sleep a night, but no more than 9.10. Actually stick to it till it becomes habit.Try this workout program:Workout A:Push ups 3 sets of 8Dips 3 sets of 8Hanging leg raises 3 sets of 8Back raises 3 sets of 830-45 minutes of cardioWorkout B:Sit ups 3 sets of 8Free squats 3 sets of 8Hanging knee raises 3 sets of 8Back raises 3 sets of 830-45 minutes of cardioWorkout C:Flutter kicks 3 sets of 8 (every time your left foot comes down, that's a rep)Dips 3 sets of 8Hanging knee raise crossovers 3 sets of 8Back raises 3 sets of 830-45 minutes of cardioTry and add 1 rep a week. And make sure you're eating enough to give yourself the energy you need. Instead of tracking your weight, since you'll be gaining a little bit of muscle, track progress the way an athlete would (reps/minutes gained, inches off waist etc)You can feel free to email me with any questions or comments.

- Zumba classes maybe? But the best ways to lose weight is either running or swimming...but just stay have a good diet and does weight training too not weight lifting but weight training two different things :)
- Eat less, that will be the main thing which will help you
- Losing weight is mostly diet and tracking calories.http://www.calorieking.com/From whatever number you get from the caculator subtract 300 calories through diet and 200 through some type of exercise. This will make you use roughly 1 lb of fat per week, it doesn't seem like a lot, but it's the real way celebs and models do it. Keep track of your calories everyday. Maybe hop on a weight training program such as this:Squats 3 sets of 10Lunges 3 sets of 10Shoulder press 3 sets of 10Maybe pull ups if you can do them.Do that mon wed and friThat's about it, hope I helped! =)
- I am 20 and not a cardio person either, although I will do it if I really want to lose weight. The best thing I have done to lose weight is going gluten free. I stopped eating gluten about a year ago. Without gluten I lost about 20 pounds in about 2 months. After that 20 however, I ended up gaining a few more (5 or so pounds) back. So, I don't think it is a very long lasting diet because your body gets used to it and begins to metabolise it differently but I definitely worked very well losing weight pretty quickly. Its also just better for you in general. BUT if you are telling to truth about your weight and height, you really do not need to lose weight. I am 5'4 and 120 would be too skinny for me! I think I look my best between 125 and 130. Maybe if you have some of a gut you need more muscle, not to lose weight
- To lose fat you must be in a caloric deficit, a caloric deficit is when you burn more calories than you eat. First start off slow and easy, when your body starts to adapt you can adjust the intensity level. Also drink lots of water at least over a gallon of water it may sound like a lot but if you drink them throughout the day. This has been scientifically proven to burn fat faster. In terms of exercise, well to burn fat fast you must find a high intensity workout to burn that fat. Jogging in the treadmill seems like a good idea but it takes too much time for you to burn a good amount of calories and is incredibly boring. Here are some workouts that will help you burn fat fast.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bkD9LwDBWW0http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCqWeAL2xb4Now remember you don't have to do them as fast as Mike but you still have to do some high intense workout to burn fat.
- There are 5 Variables of a Fat Loss Nutrition Plan. This is a concept you may not hear about so much, its more in the realm of sports nutrition, but this is one variable that can make a big difference in regards to your recovery from training and the results you get. The timing in which you eat certain types of foods, can play a big role in how your body handles those nutrients. For example after a session of weight training, your body is in a unique physiological state where you'll handle carbohydrates (and your body's insulin response) a lot better, and you'll use protein more effectively. The protein you ingest within about 30 minutes of your training session basically triggers and kick starts the recovery process for muscle repair, strengthening and growth (toning up). Drinking it in the form of a liquid shake means it will metabolise and get into your system a lot quicker, and it's generally easier to get your hands on a shake within 30 minutes of training than it is a cooked chicken breast. If you haven't been taking a protein shake (with some good carbohydrates) after training to take advantage of this variable then that's one thing you can do straight away to noticeably improve your results, you'd be mad not to. This also means that you have a bit more wiggle room for carbohydrates like rice, potatoes etc in the couple of hours after you do some weight trainingChoosing which food to take and making an effort to "exercise", you don't have to be a triathlon to burn fat and keep your heart pumped up to achieve the results that you want. But one thing is for sure, IF you want it, you have to work for it. Begin with a good food program that works for your lifestyle, preferences and budget.
