Or does it not matter?
Hi, Isabella!There are three possible answers to your question. Yes--if you are doing sufficient cardio and don t injure yourself. No--if the average daily cardio you do would decrease. Or, it makes no difference--if the average daily cardio would be the same. Walking two miles in thirty minutes every day is equivalent to walking four miles in sixty minutes every other day. You do not mention whether you are doing mild or intense cardio. Since intense cardio must be brief, it is more for increasing cardiovascular fitness than losing body fat. The best mild cardio is brisk walking. It is sustainable until your dotage. Brisk walking is walking at 4 mph. If you average two miles daily at that pace, you probably will not gain more fat. To lose body fat, you should be averaging 45 to 90 minutes of brisk walking daily, i.e., 3 to 6 miles. You don t have to do it all during one walk. Instead of going for one 4 mile walk, it s fine to go for two 2 mile walks. The best time to walk is before your first meal of the day. If you are doing mild cardio like that for 45 to 60 minutes a day, you are getting sufficient cardio. What should do you to lose fat more quickly? Two things. First, do strength training. While the cardio will increase the amount of calories you burn during and immediately after your walks, proper strength training will build muscle, which is your METABOLIC FURNACE that will burn additional calories 24 HOURS A DAY. You should do a full-body routine. Concentrate only on the basic exercises, namely, full squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins. Use perfect exercise technique on every rep of every set. Once you are able to train intensely, you will experience DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness). In order to ensure systemic recover, wait 24 to 48 hours before doing another strength training workout. In practice, this means you ll be doing strength training just once every 4 or 5 days. An afternoon session of pumping iron for about 45 minutes every fourth or fifth day isn t too much for a reshaped body, is it?Second, ensure that you are eating properly. This means eating a meal with sufficient proteins from natural sources every three waking hours (5 or 6 small feedings). Each feeding should contain at least 15 grams of protein for a female and at least 20 grams of protein for a male. In addition, avoid all processed (refined) carbohydrates. Allow yourself up to about 75 grams of carbs daily, but get them only from natural sources such as (preferably organic) vegetables and low carbohydrate fruits such as berries. Also, drink plenty of water--at least 3 quarts daily. Eating this way will, by itself, boost your metabolic rate. If you are addicted to carbohydrates, you may be pleasantly shocked at how fast you lose body fat when you add eating properly to doing sufficient mild cardio. If you adopt such an approach to eating and exercising, you will not only lose fat, you will keep it off. At the bottom of this reply, I ve added some links to free Internet resources for lists of foods that boost metabolism, and foods that slow down metabolism, a cardio walking for weight loss plan, and free strength training programs for beginners or more advanced. I hope this helps you, Isabella.Train in good health!All my best wishes.
You should because you will be working at boosting your metabolism and strengthening your heart and lung functions so they perform more efficiently. You will also have more energy. Just be careful not to overdo it because then the benefits go away. You should notice if you are. You ll be more prone to injury as well. I know because I ve been there. I enjoy working out. I would suggest doing cardio at least 5 days a week but you can do it everyday but vary your workout. Have some lighter cardio days.3 days a week: add in some toning exercises because that will shape your body and you will look thinner. Start doing pilates because that will help lengthen you, also making you look thinner. You can start slow and gradually increase, keeping it interesting and you will see results quicker too.
Yes you will lose weight faster, but at the same time, if you are doing intense cardio everday, then you are increasing risk of injury, because your muscle s won t have enough time to repair. But if you cardio is normal jogging, rowing etc, then yes, everyday will make you ose weight faster.
not really... you will loose weight if u do cardio with breaks in between because it takes energy for your body to loose weight and if your draining your energy everyday then your body does nt have enough energy to loose weight.. same with eating you need to eat healthy soo your body has the energy to loose your weight..
You might lose slightly more, but you are likely to injure yourself. remember when you build muscle you are damaging the muscle then it heals itself and gets bigger. I would stick to 3x a week and be less likely to have to stop due to injury.
Probably, but I would break it up somehow to keep it interesting. Different types of cardio every other day, or something. Or maybe start playing tennis, that s a great workout that you can do on opposite days.
you ll lose weight faster because you expend 7x energy as opposed to 3x, however, lifting weights is different because you have to take overtraining into account, but for cardio it s fine
Yes you will lose weight faster and your muscles will get stronger too! The more frequently you workout the better. The only thing you have to be careful of is injuries. Don t go too hard too fast you might hurt yourself.
No you will not lose weight faster, you may gain weight slower though because you will gain muscle tone faster than normally planned.
Likely, but you will get used to it so constant changing in your workout is crucial so your body does not get used to the work out.
yes, because your body will burn more fat as it will need more energy. However you still need to be eating healthily.good luck
Firstly you can lose as much weight as you want in a short time period, however, you will gain it back. I am speaking from experience from someone who has been there done that with fad diets. There is the obvious liposuction, however, the recovery time is 3 �C 6 months and it sounds as though that you��re in a rush to lose the weight for possibly an event with no downtime to spare. I am and have been on weight watchers for 2 years and lost 25 lbs. It was a slow and steady race, however, I haven��t gained the weight back ��cause my diet has been stabilized and so was the weight loss from 0.5 �C 1 lb/week.Remember the weight gain didn��t happen overnight, it happened slowly over time, the same is with proper healthy weight loss, you can��t have/perform miracles over night.These are some things that I do.1. Drink lots of water as it kept me full longer.2. Used an appetite suppressant like hoodie to make sure I don��t go over my daily calorie intake.3. Did cardio and toning 3 �C 4 times a week.4. Made meal and recipe modifications as I cooked.5. When I dined out, I made sure that I wasn��t shy about asking the kitchen to make modifications like dressing/sauce on the side, half portion ordered the kids meal etc.6. Brushing teeth after every meal, the mint acts like an appetite suppressant and without the taste in your mouth, you can easily forget about the food.7. Never drank diet cola, the aspartame actually made me crave food more for some reason.8. At work I take a break before lunch and either take the stairs in the building or just general toning without weights. We have a gym at work so I do about 15 minutes of weights which not only gets my blood flowing but releases tension from a**hole customers.9. Bought snacks in bulk (to save money) and properly measured what a cup or portion was and made individual baggies. There are some snacks on the market that are 100 calorie snacks, however, I find those to be too expensive than just buying in bulk and separating the portions yourself. Also by physically separating them yourself, you get an idea of what a portion is supposed to be and you learn to properly eye ball correct portions.Drink water- Green tea is also a good idea as it speeds up yourmetabolism- every day drink one tall glass of water about 5 minutes before you eat.2. Eat regularly- 5 times a day in small amounts proper meals- don t miss meals its important for your body to know its got alot of food to digest and lose- If you dont eat regularly the fat will build up cause your body thinks oh the host isn t give me enough food to burn off, i ll just slow down abit 3. Eat lots of fibre4. Consume more good fats6. Carbohydrates can help you lose weight- good carbohydrates but not too many-These include whole grains, vegetables; fruits and beans.7. Excercise regularly, everday-eg. being active for at least 1 hourWell everyone will give you a set limit of pushups or crunchies but jsut do as many as you can, you should try running early in the morning as its much mor peaceful. Try a salad everymeal but don t use thick dressings use a light vinnagrette or even a spritzer...Water sometimes get boring so try a low sugar juice or powerade (pour out 1/5 of the gatorade or powerade and fill it back up with water) or a aquafina+...i sometimes drink Fuze for a treat...Try buying some of those new snacks that are low calories, if you want a treat buy some low fat ice cream throw a little bit in a blender with bananas a strawberry and protein powder....Also try swimming it works greeatThis was given to me by the Sacred Heart Memorial HospitalBASIC FAT BURNING DIETThis diet is used for overweight heart patients to lose weight rapidly, before surgery. As with any diet, check with your doctor first.This is a 7-day diet and if followed you will begin to feel lighter by at least 10 lbs and possibly between 17 and 20 lbs. Having an abundance of energy. Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference. This diet is fast, fat burning, and the secret is that you will burn more calories than you take in.It will flush your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well-being. This diet does NOT lend itself to drinking any alcoholic beverages at any time because of the removal of fat build-up in your system. Go off the diet at least 24 hours before any intake of alcohol.Because everyone s digestive system is different, this diet will affect everyone differently. After day 3, you will have more energy than when you began IF you did not cheat. After being on the diet several days, you will find your bowel movements have changed--eat a cup of bran or fiber. Although you can have black coffee with this diet, you may find that you don t need the caffeine after the 3rd day.Definite NO s--No bread, alcohol, carbonated drinks (including diet drinks). Stick with water, unsweetened tea, black coffee, unsweetened fruit juices, cranberry juice, and skim milk.The basic fat burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry. Eat no fried foods or breads. You can eat broiled chicken or baked chicken instead of steak (ABSOLUTELY no skin on the chicken).Any prescribed medication will not hurt you on this diet.This 7 day eating plan can be used as often as you like, as a matter of fact, if correctly followed it will clean your system of impurities and give you a feeling of well being as never before.At the end of the 7th day, if you have not cheated, you will have lost 10-17 lbs. If you have lost more than 15 lbs, stay off the diet 2 days before resuming again on day 1.Continue this plan as long as you wish and feel the difference, both mentally and physically. If you prefer, you can substitute broiled fish for the beef only on one of the beef days. You need high protein in the beef the other days.BASIC FAT BURNING SOUP6 large green onions2 green peppers1-2 cans of tomatoes1 bunch of celery1 large head of cabbage1 pkg lipton soup mixCut veggies in small to medium pieces and cover with water. Boil veggies fast for 10 min. Cut to simmer and continue cooking until veggies are tender. This soup can be eaten any time you are hungry. Eat as much as you want, whenever you want. This soup will not add calories; the more you eat the more you will lose. Fill a thermos in the morning if you will be away during the day. If eaten alone for indefinite periods, you would suffer malnutrition.DAY ONE--All fruits except bananas. Cantaloupe and watermelon are lower in calories than most fruits. Eat only the soup and fruits. For drinks--unsweetened tea, cranberry juice, or water.DAY TWO--All veggies. Eat until you are stuffed with all the fresh raw or canned veggies. Try to eat green leafy veggies and stay away from dry beans, peas, and corn. Eat along with the soup. At dinner time on this day reward yourself with a big baked potato and butter. Do not eat any fruits.DAY THREE--Eat all the soup, fruits, and veggies you want. Do not have a baked potato. If you have not cheated, you will find you have lost 5-7 lbs.DAY FOUR--Bananas and skim milk. Eat as many as 3 bananas and drink as many glasses of water as you can on this day along with the soup. Bananas are high in calories and carbohydrates and so is the milk, but on this particular day your body will need the potassium and the carbohydrates, proteins, and calcium to lessen your cravings of sweets.DAY FIVE--Beef and tomatoes. You may have 10-20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes or as many as 6 fresh tomatoes on this day. Try to drink at least 6-8 glasses of water this day to wash away the uric acid in your body. Eat the soup at least once this day.DAY SIX--Beef and veggies. Eat to your hearts content of the beef and veggies on this day. You can have 2 or 3 steaks if you like with the green leafy veggies, but no baked potato. Be sure to eat the soup at least once this day.DAY SEVEN--Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice, and veggies. Again stuff yourself. Be sure to have the soup at least once this day.
