Walking is an extemey good way to exercise and it s not as boring. It will tone your legs, butt, and other parts of your body, and it s a good cardio exercise. I walk 5 miles in an hour, of course, I have built up to that. I used to walk 5 miles in 1 1/2 hours, now I can walk much faster. It burns a lot of calories. If you walk 1 mile, you burn around 100 calories.
the best thing you can do at the gym is vary your routines...one day go and do the bike for 10-15 minutes and varying intervals of intensity and then switch to an uphill climb on the treadmill for another 15 minutes, switching up the speeds as well. another day you should try 15 minutes on the stair climber and then switch to running on the treadmill or using an elliptical...it ll be more fun for you too, if you change it up everyday. you need to get your heartrate into the fat burning zone, everyone s zones are different and the best way to tell without getting fancy is to work hard enough that you can still talk, but only about 3 words at a time. you can do 5 minutes at a warm up pace and then another 5 at an intense pace and then another 5 minutes in the middle and then back up to the intense level. by varying the intensity and working in the fat burning zone you should be able to burn more calories while at rest, as well as while working out. the other thing i would recommend is doing weight training about 2-3 days a week, opposite of cardio, to help get your muscles working too. this will also burn fat and calories, if you re lifting weights that you can just barely get 15 repetitions in a row (at least 2 cycles). sorry it was so long...i hope it helps!
Wow! Congrats on your weight loss.Jumping rope is a great way to burn.I m not much on running so for me the jumping rope is the best.I started off pretty slow six months ago but now I jump for 30 minutes without a problem and I ve lost 80 lbs so far.I m also trying a diet called the water cure.It s just a common sense diet that helps me stay on track and keep up my minerals and nutrition.Anyway this is the website.It s worth a read.Maybe it ll help you find some new ideas to help achieve your goal.http://www.watercure2.org/Keep up the good work.I wish you the best in fitness as well as Good Health:-)
Its going to be alot harder to drop the last 20 pounds than the first .... just so you know ... so dont get disappointed when it takes about 4 months .. keep on going.... But realize this to no matter what workout you do ... youre going to gain some weight to ... *muscle* .. so keep that in mind but youll feel better because your toning and getting firm ....So on to the work out .. i dont want ot type out EVERYTHING .. but for your *intense* part.... if you think your tired.. you need to push even harder.. you should work out so intense for the first few weeks .. that you become week .. like bending over gasping for air.. glad you made it through the 2nd mile... or what have you .... IF YOU CAN PUSH yourself through 2 weeks of this ... and bear through being sore .... its all up hill from there... !!! :)Far as running ... depending on how in shape you are.. if none.. one mile is a start. Run one mile a day -at least 3 times a week. when you get through running do abs.find you a work out for abs on line or through a personal trainer ... then the next week add a 1/2 of mile ... then the next week keep the milage the same .. and do abs and do some type of other excersize with it .. wall sits .. wall jumps.. jump rope.. lunges.... ect.... then the 4th week .. run 2 miles and just keep it there .. even if its too far even if you power walk some meaning no more than 1/2 of mile then youll be fine.Lastly .. set yourself a time limit... to help push yourself... if your running a mile. do it within 12 mintues. If you dont make the 12 mins ...then just run one more lap around the track * for punishment* .... if running a mile and 1/2 ... do it within 15-16 mins ... if you dont finish under the time .. run another lap ... then whenever you get up to the 2 miles.... give yourself 21 mins... and decrease the time .. the more shape you get in...Well ---- this is a start .. hopefully it helped some what to give you an ide.a
You should sign up for an inexpensive gym (like planet fitness). They have so many types of excersise machines. First, what you want to do is work out at least 2 hours every day (or every other day). For the first 30 minutes, start off by running on the treadmill (or bike). For each 5 minutes of those 30, run, then walk, then run, then walk. That way, you wont tire yourself out running straight through the whole 30 minutes.Then, look for the machine that helps decrease your waist size (it works on your abs). Do 3 rounds of 10. 20 pounds weight is pretty good, but you can do the crunches manually (without the assistance of the machine).All the rest of the machines are for your muscles. So if you want to look like a body builder, go right ahead :PGood luck!
