How to lose weight and tone up? -

i need a good plan to help me lose some weight and tone up. i dont want to go bulky or anything but i just want to be toned. give me a list of cardio exercises and weights excercise i can do to slim down so i can have slender body.

...that s easy...do interval cardio...for example go walk 3 -5 times a week, 2 miles each time of power walking (15 minutes a mile) walk fast for 5 minutes then jog slowly for 2 minutes and keep repeating 5- 6 times.Each time that your heart rate has to adjust to its new level is when you will burn the most calories. Get some 3- 5 pound set of dumbbells.There are so many toning exercises you can do at home to tone and tighten everything.Lounges and squads are the best exercise to firm up your legs and bun. Eat a good healthy low fat diet and get walking you will feel super and you will look super.If you have any questions email me i did be glad to teach you different toning and slimming techniques.I highly recommend walk at home DVDs by LESLIE SANSONE. Good luck and God Bless.

In order to lose weight, you need to eat 3,500 calories less a week to lose one lb a week. Therefore, you must eat 500 less calories a day, or combine with exercise (Recommended). In regards to diet, eat two servings of fruit a day (fruit has a lot of sugar, even though it is natural, three servings adds sugar you do not need). Eat vegetables in abundance because they provide the vitamins and minerals neccessary for your body to perform at it s best. Make the bulk of your diet whole grains and NO white flour! It s a simple carb that does your body no good! Wheat and Whole grains are complex carbs that provide your body with good energy. Try not to eat an excess amount of animal protein unless you have a palm sized serving of lean meat (chicken, turkey). Don t eat fried foods, because the excess fat is not healthy! Last but not least, don t eat candy and junk food, besides the occasional treat! Remember- eat to live, don t live to eat! To lose weight and tone up, you need to combine cardio and weight training. Start off slow, and progress week to week. If you don t eat 500 less calories a day, burn off the extra with cardio. Make it fun and listen to music to boost your energy! Starving yourself will never help! Make sure you do not miss any meals! Eat a big breakfast, medium lunch, and light dinner.

Walking very briskly is your best bet. Start out the first week doing 10 minutes a day and build this up. I have been doing this for 3 months and walk about 13 miles a week. I also recommend Pilates. Again, start out slow and work your way up. I do this for 20 minutes a day. I am seeing results and so are others! Good Luck!!

1) RunningRunning is one of best activities you can do. It doesn t require special equipment (except some quality shoes) and you can do it anywhere. Best of all, you burn serious calories, especially if you add hills and sprints. A 145-lb person can burn 300 (at 5.2 mph) in 30 minutes. The downside is, it takes lots of practice and you should watch your knees and ankles for any discomfort or pain
