Ok so my legs are pretty skinny. My problem is my back and stomach. Whenever I exercise my legs get skinnier and it seems like all the weight either goes to my back or stomach. When I tighten my stomach it s all hard, is that just fat underneath?My problem areas are my lower back, obliques, and my lower stomach. What can I do to get rid of all that in 2-3 weeks minimum?Thank- You.
You cannot lose weight from just certain body areas. Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.Make a few additional small changes - walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one. In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy. Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate - in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies. Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day. Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body. Vary your routines. Don t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn t adjust to any one routine.An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.
Most people make weight loss more difficult than it actually is and worse, many people actually believe that weight loss is some thing that is almost impossible to achieve. A simple re-ordering of your diet and exercise should help you shed a lot of pounds. I have written a lengthy article that lists certain related answers for your specific question. You can view the page here http://loseweightblogger.blogspot.com/ . Hope that helps, please do let me know of your progress.
You cannot spot reduce fat. It has been proven. When you lose fat, it comes off last where it was first put on. Check to make sure that you re in a healthy weight zone for your height. If so, I would just tone the muscles and not try to lose weight. When your stomach is hard, that s the muscle, not the fat.
The best thing you can do is to watch what you eat and do cardio. The number thing though is to get your diet in check. When I say diet, I don t necessarily mean you have to lose weight. You just have to eat properly and avoid fatty and refined carbohydrates.
Walk/Cycling 30 minutes every afternoonit help you reduce some fatset your eat patternIf you want to eat in the night, eat boiled potatoes/corn
ur back fat is jus extra fat. the only way 2 get rid of that is 2 eat less. and unless u eat accordingly then exercise. as for ur stomach, that can go away if u do crunches. like situps for example.
Back extensions, Oblique V-ups, and Bent-leg knee raises. If I were you I d do a internet serach for lower ab exercises.
a good lower cal diet and cardio are how u lose fat, any fat. u cant focus ur fat loss to a specific area. 2-3 week isnt much time though
try 7 minute abs, google it
jump rope no joke it really helps u get back in shape and it a good work out or u can do sit ups about like 30 a day
