Excercize question- what are the best workouts for weight  loss?
344506
Running in the park & treadmill work best for me, along with a sensible diet. More vegetables than meat, along with lots of salids. we need the protein also, but watch fatty cuts. Swimming is also good if you can do several laps. I like to work my legs good. can burn caloties & help with the running. Any good work out that brings on the sweat will burn calories and that is really the name of the game. For me, counting all calories has been the best weight loss diet of all. Got to see yourself thin. Diet or workouts by themselves alone never work. It takes both in equal effort.

it depends on the type excerising that you're doing. to burn fat 30min, 3-4 times a week, cardio workouts are best. that does NOT include your warm-up & cool-down time. it should be 20-30min of a heart pumping excercise (i.e. running, cycling, swimming). if you have been doing 3wks of weight-lifting, of course you're not losing pounds, you're gaining muscle mass. and muscles are 3 times heavier than fat. if you just want to lose pounds drop the dumb bells and pick up a jump rope.

SWIM SWIM SWIM. The best excercise in the world. Swimming is totally weightless and it works a series of ways. It is Aerobic and resistance training in one. Aerobic works to get your heart rate going and thus will increase metabolism and help circulation which all burn fat. Also if you are swimming and not doing a stationary type of water work out then your breathing becomes regulated by the type of stroke you are swimming. Resistance training is from the water friction. Every step and stroke you make is like having a few pounds on your hand. Resistance and light weight training is important when losing weight because you have to tighten the skin as well. Good luck, it will change your life when you lose the weight, but make sure you do it right.

Jogging is a great start to losing weight.  The recommened minumum for cardiovascular exercise(running,walking, swimming, biking) is 3 times a week 30 minutes at an above average pace.  You have to get out of your comfort zone to get the results.  It is also recommended to do something moderate at least 1 hour a day (yardwork, walking).  These are the minumums to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system(heart, lungs).  \n\nIf you really want to lose weight you should be doing even more.\n\nYour legs can get some tone from jogging, but to tone your body you really need to hit the weights.

Billy Blanks "Boot Camp" is great. Last time I used it I worked out to it everyday for 2 weeks and lost 5lbs like that. Great for toning and losing the weight

Eat right and exercise. Alot of cardio if you want to lose water weight or excess flab...ex: running, yoga, pilates. And then after you've lost the weight you want then get firm, built muscle, get toned...ex: kick boxing, yoga, weights.

fresh veggies, all you can get.\n\nno more than 1200-1500 calories a day, you need to feel hungry nearly all the time.  OK, go crazy one day, have the ice cream, but then back to it.  No eating within 5hrs of bed, this is a model's mantra.  Empty the fridge of anything tasty.\n\nexcercise... multiple goals, no doubt.  walking is just about the best calorie burner for the buck.  Adding mass (muscle) will burn fuel faster (read increased metabolism), so as time permits, would add squats/lunges, and core resistance excercises.  Fat burning doesn't happen until the carbs are gone (30 minutes of walking), so weights first, walking second.\n\nMax safe weight loss goals, roughly 2lbs/week, you can do it, but it will be tight.

Activities that involve moving the whole body as one unit are the best and most calorie burning. Activities such as power walking especially uphill, sprint work, swimming, road biking especially up hill.\n\nStationary bikes and treadmills are good but I personally consider them a class B for what you are wanting. \n\nGood luck \n\nKarl\nsfhsnz@yahoo.com

Yoga is a really good choice if you don't want to sweat alot but still want to burn fat. Gentle stretches that are great for the mind, soul and body. It's great for relieving stress as well!!! ( bonus!)\nGood Luck!

There are two questions here- a toning and a weight loss question.  Unfortunately, there isn't any way to target weight loss in any one area of the body... and the best way to lose weight is by eating healthy and doing regular cardiovascular exercise.  \n\nAs for toning- there are a few really good ways.  The first is riding a bicycle... serious bicyclists have buns of steel.  The other is climbing stairs... lots and lots of stairs.  Both will give you a really good gluteal workout and will make you solid!

start lifting weights and do some stretching along with your aerobics........\n\njust eat a balanced diet... find out what your MHR (maximum heart rate) is and then find the zone most appropriate for you to be exercising in and try to exercise in that heart rate zone.........\n\ntry talking to your doctor or a personal trainer......\n\nswimming is also excellent for weight loss

Running is the best exercise for shedding pounds. Try to run (not jog) for about 20 minutes at least 3 days a week. Drink only water (and coffee if you must). Also, do some strength training. The more muscle you have, the more calories you can burn (that's why guys can get away with eating more). Don't eat ANY junkfood, and don't eat for at least 4 hours before you go to bed. \n\nThe most important thing is to set a goal, make a plan to achieve that goal, and stick to it. Good luck.

Pilates or Yoga would be awesome.  Both of them are great for burning calories and they are both concentrated on core building.  To be honest all of them work just about the same so it doesnt matter who you buy.  They all come on different levels, so start on level one and then progress.\n\nYoga and Pilates use the weight of the body as resistance to challenge the muscles to become stronger. Yoga has more standing exercises that develop leg strength as well as balance. Pilates is mostly done lying on your back, on your stomach, on your side and sitting down. That's why I like to do both forms of exercise to have a good blend of standing and mat exercises. \n\nYoga also tends to have more exercises that challenge the upper body (chest, upper back, arms) than Pilates does unless you are doing machine-based Pilates, in which case the springs attached to the machines deliver sufficient resistance to strengthen the upper body muscles.\n\nAerobic or cardiovascular exercise is any exercise that is done continuously for 15 to 60 minutes or more while using the arms and legs in a rhythmic fashion. The goal of aerobic exercise is to increase the amount of blood pumped per beat to improve the efficiency and stamina of the heart, lungs, and blood vessels. Examples are walking, running, swimming, dancing, etc. \n\nIt's not that easy to calculate how many calories you burn in yoga and Pilates since the intensity of the class depends on the kind of exercises being done and the strength level of the class participants.\n\nIn general, a 130-pound person would burn approximately 260 calories an hour for a light to moderate Pilates mat-class and 236 calories for a yoga class. "Intense" Pilates would burn approximately 346 calories while an intense yoga class would burn about 400 calories per hour.\n\nYour weight affects how many calories you burn (the more you weigh, the more calories you burn), so use the following formula to make it more accurate: Divide the number of calories burned by 130 pounds. Multiply the answer by your weight in pounds. \n\nFor example, divide 260 calories by 130 pounds. The answer is 2 calories per pound. Multiply that by 110 pounds. The answer is 220 calories.\n\nNo doubt, Pilates has the most number of exercises that focus on the abs, waist, and trunk. Almost every variation you can think of for the abs is offered in Pilates. If abdominal and waist whittling is what you are looking for, Pilates is the ticket for you. This is not to say that yoga will not strengthen your abs and trunk because it will but Pilates just has much more focus on that area.
