It s really very simple.There are 2 categories of workouts and you only need to focus on one of those for weight loss.1. Resistance training - weight lifting, sit-ups, push-ups, etc.2. Cardiovascular Training - walking/running, swimming, jumping jacks, dancing to the oldies, etc.You need only to focus on #2 for weight loss. #1 is good for muscle tone but does little for weight loss.Cardiovascular exercises are simple and you don t need any fancy equipment. For successful weight loss, all you need to do is any body movements that get your heart rate higher than normal. That s what cardiovascular workouts are all about. They simply get your heart rate up and burn off fat.You will need to keep your heart rate up for longer than 20 minutes per session in order to achieve a successful burn. The body takes that much time to warm up and begin the burn. Any huffy-puffy activity will work such as walking, running, going up and down stairs, vigorous dancing, jumping rope, just anything that makes you huff and puff. That s the key - huff and puff for over 20 minutes a session. This is how your body burns off fat.CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR FOR ADVICE ON THE SAFEST WORKOUT FOR YOU.Don t get discouraged!Contrary to popular TV, there is no such thing as targeting an area of your body for weight loss. The reality is that you will see the fattest part of your body lose weight last! You will notice it first in your face. The thickest fat is the last to go so don t lose heart if you don t see your ��targeted area�� going anywhere at first.Simply create a huffy-puffy workout for yourself that lasts over 20 minutes per session and stick to a daily routine for best results.Another tip is don t rely on what the scales say everyday. That will discourage you. The better way to monitor your progress is to observe your clothes getting looser. The scales can be misleading because as you lose weight, typically you are also building muscle mass. This dual change may look like you are not losing fat when you actually are.Checking your heart rate. Take your fingers of your left hand and place them about an inch to the right of the center of your right hand wrist as it faces palm up. This should be at your right-hand wrist below your thumb. You should feel a pulse there. Now count the number of beats in a 6 second period. Multiply that number by 10 and that s your heart rate. A reasonably safe and effective heart rate during an exercise burn is about 120 for most people 30�C50 years old.A bland diet will speed the weight loss up for sure. But if you re like me, starting a daily exercise program plus starting a bland diet is just too emotionally stressful (wink, wink). So, I say, for those of us who want some type of reward for working out everyday, continue enjoying your favorite foods - just cut your portions down. Train yourself to learn when you are satisfied as you eat a meal and stop eating at that point rather than eating until you feel full. You ll be surprised at how early in the meal you are satisfied. So, just stop eating at that point. Make a habit of it.I am a 52 year old male and I am using a programmed treadmill which uses a combination walk/ 5 mph. run workout for 30 minutes a day. I am losing 2-3 pounds a week just doing that and cutting my favorite food portions back the way I mentioned before. My peak heart rate during this routine is 140. (Just telling you this in hopes that it will give you some idea of what 30 minutes a day will do for you so you can adjust your workout to suit your targeted weight loss time frame.) Good luck! I hope this helps.

You have to come up with some type of a reward system, this will help keep you motivated. One of the best things to do is make a contingency contract. Stating what you want to do, who will help you do it, and what do you get for doing it. Then also try to find a well balance diet program. My friend did this one diet program where the average weight lose is 7 pounds in 9 days. It might be the thing you are looking for, I know it s well balanced. If you want e-mail me and I can tell you more about either of these.

Losing weight is a simple equation: if you burn more calories than you eat, the weight will come off. Start off by estimating how many calories you burn each day using the daily calorie needs calculator http://calorieneedscalculator.com This will give you an idea of how many calories to eat. Healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds per week. To lose 1 pound per week you need to create a calorie deficit (burn more than you eat) of 500 calories per day. To lose 2 pounds a week, you have to double the deficit to 1000 calories per day. You can achieve this by eating less, exercising more or a combination of both.Beginner s Guide to Dieting - http://straightdiet.com

Everybody is different so don t go to buy the next big diet that they throw out on the market. There is a website on the internet where they actually have a weight loss expert record a CD specifically for you! I heard people are getting Great results! They send you a questionaire and ask that you fill it out as honestly as possible, then they get to work! Its like having your very own personal trainer in your CD player! check it out and I hope that it helps! http://www.PersonalizedWeightLoss.net

Excercise daily. Try not to be in front of the t.v or computer as much. Limit the foods that you eat and eat more healthier foods. Not saying that this is you, just giving examples.

DRINK ALOT OF WATER!!

me t oso ill wait for an answer

Does wrapping yourself in a trash bag really help to lose weight faster, when walking? -

no way... it makes you the laughing stock of all those who see you.Instead opt for a sauna.It s deceny and dignified. No stomach crunches and cut down on fatty chocholates and ice-creams.Exercise and work out so as to sweat your guts out and you ll burn calories. Sit or stand erect, that way ,your posture burns extra calories, without you havinf to do special exercises for it.

yeah definately. im 105 lb wrestler at my high school. and i usually have to lose about 3-5 lbs in about 3 days or so. and i found out that if u wear a trash bag, wear layers, and run in the heat for about 30 mins then u lose about a pound....no lie Report Abuse

I understand the theory behind it but I think one donut would equal a lifetime of the reduction trash bags add.

i hear it makes you sweat the fat off

i have never heard that bt i shall try it

yes because when people pass and start laughing at you, you will run and burn more calories lol

even if it does, it would be a negligible amount and certainly not worth the embarassment of looking like a hobo.

only by sweating more, but then you have to drink more to replace it so...no

No not really. It makes you sweat, which loses fluid, but as soon as you drink water, you gain it right back. It could actually hurt you if you get to hot when walking, could cause heat stroke. Your body can t cool itself off like it needs to, the reason you sweat.

eeeewwww.... just promise me you ll take a shower afterward

You will probably feel too self concious to go out walking in a trash bag. I think it would create bad feelings which create negative energy in the body. That does not promote a heathy being.

How come Im not losing weight? How can I lose it fast? -

I m 5 5 /5 6 -ish and my weight varies from 145-155. For about a month I ve been exercising (running 1-3 miles a day and lifting weights) and eating healthy, but I m not losing any weight. Some said it s because my body is used to doing physical activity, so I won t lose pounds as fast as someone who isn t (I play sports all year around), but I exercise a lot more that I did. How can I lose weight fast?

I am trying to lose weight too. Today is my third day of diet/exercise. I feel great. There is a fun work-out video on youtube. It is AMAZING!!! It works on your love handles and abs too. I don t know if you have heard of Tae-Bo, but that is what it is. You don t even have to go out and buy it. When I am doing it, I sweat until I drop. My shirt is literally soaked in just 45 minutes. I used to go to gyms and swimming but I never saw results fast enough. Be patient and add Tae-Bo (Aerobic) and (Abs) total of 45 minutes a day for 4 times a week and you will notice a difference for sure!For my diet, I am eating a lot of veg/fruits/nuts and protein - chicken/eggs/fish. The video is 5 parts, plus, it is really fun to do. And if you actually look it up, Tae-Bo burns more than 600 calories/hour. You will lose those pounds in 2 months for sure. Find out how much calories you need to lose weight (using a calorie calculator). So if the calculator says you need 2000 calories intake to maintain your weight, subtract 500 from that and intake only 1500. On top of that do the TAE-Bo work-out. So any additional calories you lose from excercise is like a bonus.Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GP-ADSVstP.S. Use the full screen so that the time doesn t distract you. You get so into the movements and the workout that you don t even realize how long it has been...Good Luck

Well you have to change your routine every so often because your body gets use to what you are doing and doesn t see the need to adapt to anything new. It differs for everyone, but a basic guideline is every 6 weeks change your routine. You are athletic I assume so you may have very dense muscle fibers which weights more than fat, but you are healthy not obese. Not sure what types of exercises you are doing, but try running at a steady pace then sprint for 30 seconds then back to your steady pace, do this every 3 to 4 minutes you run and see if that helps at all. Good luck.

I have been through it all and know what s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising...This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it s good for the heart.However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I ve found a great addition to help any one out, it s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it s the best pill I ve tried and I ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

I want to lose weight fast? -

i weigh 120 pounds,i wanna lose weight in my tummy,not in my butt or legs or thighs i wanna see how much i can lose in one week starting tomorrowi don t want anything to deal w/ pills or nothing like that.

Sorry to dissapoint, but there is no way you can lose weight in just your tummy. If you lose in your tummy, you ll lose in your butt and legs and thighs as well. Losing weight is a team sport for your entire body, and you can t lose in just one area (unfortunately).It s not too great or healthy to lose more than 3 or 4 pounds in one week- that s a super short time!My suggestions, however, would be:Food:Protein protein protein!Meats dairy are going to be essential if you intend to work out.Fruits veggies, as well- they have really few calories and will keep you satiated.Lay off the grains and sugars- try to limit your treats to once or twice a week, and watch yourself! Keep in mind that when you re dieting, you ve got to burn off any extra stuff you eat.LOTS of cardio. That means a 30-40 minute speed-walk or jog /every day/. Eat 5/6 SMALL meals a day, that means you ll be eating every 4 hours or so- so you ll have your breakfast (low fat yogurt with berries is excellent, or fruit and a glass of milk, or whatever healthy thing is on your menu), then your lunch, (chicken salads, eggs, ect) then at around 3 have a snack (peanut butter celery, some fruit, some toast, ect) then dinner, (meat! steak, chicken, ribs, beef, whatever) then around 7 have another small snack. Then that s it! Try not to eat past 8pm.Along with your cardio, try doing some weight lifting or reps of abdominal exercises. You could start with 50 crunchies and 20 leg raises or pilets, and work from there, or start lower- where ever you re at. I suggest doing those once every other day.TAKE A BREAK ON SUNDAY!You need a day of rest; that means no 40 minute jog/walk, if you really need to get out and go limit yourself and make sure you re not pushing it.No exercises today, either!Good luck, and remember to eat!:)

Do you have any eating habits that can improve?* Are you eating larger and larger portions when you have a meal? Try to deliberately take smaller portions when you have a meal. Do not feel that you have to empty your plate . Perhaps change the plates that you have in your cupboard (which may be large) to more medium sized plates. In this way you will naturally serve up smaller portions.* What do you have for snacks? Try changing chocolates or cakes for fruit.* Do you have second helpings at meal times when you are really already full?* Skipping meals is usually a bad idea. It sounds a good idea, but many people just become hungry, and have snacks later in the day, and eat too much at the next meal. Eating at regular mealtimes may be a first important change. Three healthy meals a day is best.* Do you always have a pudding? Will a light yoghurt do instead of a sweet pastry?* Do you eat quickly? Are you ready for a second helping before most people have half finished their first plateful? Obese people, on average, eat faster than non-obese people. It is best to train yourself to chew each mouthful for longer, and to eat slowly.Top tip - three healthy meals each day, including breakfast, is better than skipping meals. Eat slowly, chew longer.
