Exercises for Weight Loss

I would try out pilates. It can help you lose weight and get a more toned body, and there are tons of free videos you can find on youtube.

 

Exercises that work your core muscles will build muscle. Examples are crunches, planks, mountain climbers, and what's known as V-up. V-ups are pretty much where you lay flat on your back with your legs straight out and your arms laid flat above your head (I hope that makes sense), and then you raise your legs and the top half of you body up to make the shape of a V with your body. Running, riding a bike, and lunges and squats will work out your butt and your thighs. Running especially. However, exercising alone won't result in significant weight loss. You have to adjust your diet as well. Less sugar and trans fat, smaller portions or the suggested serving size. Hope that helps some and good luck!

 

20 mins of circuits is good.
i love it cuz it isnt doing the same thing constantly for 20 mins. it rotates with like 3 mins cardio, 2 mins abs, 1 min strength. around 3 times. or something near that anyway. so its good for me.

 

DO NOT do crunches! They are horrible for your back. Also stay away from the elliptical. It is an unnatural way of moving your body. The best exercise for working everything is walking. Power walking. Weight loss is 70% what you eat and 30% exercise so even if your working out for two hours a day, if you're eating junk, it defeats the purpose.

 

you should join the gym because there fitness trainer can suggest you best exercise for loss weight fast also help you what you have to eat to that keep you healthy.

 

Your welcome! Bit knowledgeable after years of watching weight loss shows and reading stuff No, avoid regular sit-ups as well. One of the best exercises to strengthen stomach muscles is the plank. I don't do yoga or tai chi but I've heard it's really good. Also, when working out, drink plenty of water. It's a really good idea to add a few drops of lemon juice to your water as well. Stop eating after 8:00 pm and NEVER skip breakfast.

 

You just put a few drops in your glass whenever you drink. Um, you know I'm talking about the lemon juice you use for fish, right? Not lemonade. Eat plenty of veggies and nuts. Almonds are really good. In regards to meat, avoid breaded or fried stuff. Actually, avoid fried anything for a while. A healthier option if you want a "bad snack" is air-popped popcorn with a little butter. And if you do crave chocolate, a small piece of dark chocolate (70% cacao is best) is actually good for your heart.

 

Avoid doing exercises as those will not really help, in fact they will make you more hungry. Basic cardio together with calorie counting (according to BMI) will get you the results you need. As well as watching what you eat and drink.

 

Drink plenty of water, and skipping! Or going for a run. Don't eat at night.

 

This is not good advice. Exercise is not only an important element of weight loss, but is important in maintaining fitness and a healthy lifestyle. Yes, you will likely eat more and have a larger appetite as a result of any exercise (both cardio and strength training), however, self-control and portion size in diet are important as well, and having a larger appetite doesn't really change the the fact you will need to monitor these two aspects of your eating habits.

You eat more because you are increasing your body's resting/basal metabolic rate (BMR), and burning more calories when you aren't working out, particularly when you do strength training. In turn, this is why your body is craving more fuel. Provided the fuel is healthy and balanced, there is nothing wrong with this and you will still lose weight as long as you don't eat more than you burn off. Exercise is vital if you have plans for long-term weight loss with an emphasis on sustainability rather than a quick short term loss followed by uncertainty and inconsistency. It will also help with your heart and lung capacity and overall fitness.

 

I found that having someone to exercise and diet with will help you both achieve your goals.

 

Go out for a 40 minute run 3-4 times a week, eat healthy and drink a lot of water.

 

There's a book I could recommend, it's called Cardio Strength Training, by Robert dos Remedios,; I have found it helpful (if not easy!).

When engaging in any training, you will need to eat both carbs and proteins, the trick is to eat the right things (the book comes with nutritional advice as well).

 

op if you do go for a run deffo not a good idea to go straight for a 40min run for your first run, work up to it. or even any length of running. i learnt the hard way.

if you do take up running, take it SLOWWWW. its hard on your knees and takes practise to run 'just right'. do 2 mins run 2 mins walk about 5 times for your first then build up every week in 2 min blocks till you get to 10 mins straight. then you can go 3 mins extra per week, then 5 more the longer you run.

 

This is not a good advice.

Cardio is good, strenght training is not, if the goal is to lose weight, then building muscle mass can act as a deterrent. As well as the added risk factor of slipping due to need to increase food intake. It makes the whole process of sticking to a certain BMI, highly volatile and hard to maintain, especially if a person fails to count the burnt calories. Also, the food that one needs to take to gain muscle mass, is different than the diet needed to lose

 

First of all, I am a certified trainer, and have lost over 50lbs and kept it off for over 5 years, so my advice is not just random. It is from education and experience.

Building small amounts of muscle (different from bulk mass) is very beneficial to weight loss. Muscle tissue burns wayy more calories than fat tissue. By building small amounts of muscle, you have a higher metabolic rate which lets your body burn more calories during times of the day when you are sedentary (which is probably more like 15-16 hours a day compared to 1 you are exercising).

The extra food you consume is beneficial fuel to your body and will not alone make you gain weight unless it is empty calories and not nutritious. There is no risk of slipping because of added food intake any more than the risk without strength training. I am not saying to bulk up with 50 lbs of muscle, but tone, lean muscle mass is vital to losing weight. Yes, the diet is different, but not drastically. You seem to be confusing body building strength training with lean muscle strength training which also burns a lot of calories itself.

Lastly, BMI is the worst measure of being fit and a healthy weight because it doesn't take into account body fat content. It is the most simplistic form of measurement and is not reliable because again, fit muscle mass weighs much more than fat. 150 lbs of fat looks and feels much different (and bigger) than 150 lbs of muscle.
