Can someone analyze my weight loss workout program?

We Answered:

sounds good. Remember to change it up and add stuff as your body becomes used to it. Also remember to eat healthy and you will do fine. five to six small meals a day will help.

Workout program for weight loss, does this sound like a good effective way?

We Answered:

i'm sorry, but that plan looks awful.
that's not exercising, that's just "moving"...
walking is supposed to be a part of life, and not an exercise. you should be walking 5 miles per day on average as a human being to be "normal".
I own a wii, and i play the boxing game. sorry, that too is not a workout. and judging from considering walking and wii boxing a workout, i'd assume that your bike rides aren't really intense.
i'll tell you what, play wii boxing for 30 minutes 1 day... go on a bike ride for 30 minutes 1 day... and go jog on a treadmill at a speed of 4.5 mph for 30 minutes on 1 day...
tell me which one got you tired the most? i would bet my money on you not being able to complete 15 minutes on the treadmill at that speed, but you can complete 30 miutes on wii or a bike ride without problems... now, 4.5 mph is a basic jog on a treadmill. I usually work my clients up to 2 hours (1 morning session, and 1 evening session) or 5 mph jogging on the treadmill after 4-6 months of dieting. this is after they've lost a significant amount of fat and weight... now that, that's a workout that will produce results.
If wii boxing was "intense"... there would be no more fat kids in america.

i'm sorry, but what you've mentioned is just enough to make sure you're getting good circulation in your cardiovascular system, and not something that will burn much calories. a snickers bar has more calories than the workout you do in a day.

i don't mean to offend you, but just want to show you the reality of the situation. because many people start going into denial and start with the "it's from the pregnancy and everyone says that pregnancy fat doesn't go away, so that's why i can't burn fat"...

i wish you luck

Can somebody give me a weight loss gym workout program for women?

We Answered:

Gym workout routines for women are specially categorized as there are certain physiological differences between a man and a woman. A woman needs to work out on her gym routine so that she can benefit the most. However, the workout routines should answer the following questions:

* First, how to select the best and convenient place for the workout
* How to kick-start the workout routines efficiently
* How much time needs to be invested in exercising every day
* What aspects one should consider while opting for a exercise schedule

The workout schedules which would help you to lose weight safely and comfortably are as follows:

*Workout schedule 1: Exercises should tone up each and every muscles of the body. In fact, this first routine would be very beneficial for the beginners who have very little time to spare in such work-outs. You must use the first five days of week in carrying out this routine. The first 3 days would be concentrated in weights whereas the next two days would be concentrated in cardio.

* Workout schedule 2: It can also be referred to as the split schedule. However, this routine would help you to reap huge benefits at a very steady pace. As per this exercise your lower and upper body part gets involved in intense work-out. It would help you to lose weight quickly.

*Workout schedule 3: In this routine you exercise to lose weight from targeted areas. In this routine you can exercise with weights for 5 days and get indulged in cardio for 2 or 2 days.

Further, you must be cautious that your workout schedule is effectively toning up your muscles, helping you to lose weight and burn fat etc. It should not matter what your goals are but you should focus on specified exercises to tone up your body and lose weight at a steady pace.

What is the most effective exercise/workout program for rapid weight loss?

We Answered:

I am 16 and have been obese before but have slim down successfully. I am here to share how to achieve it so read on, it may change your life. IF YOU ARE FRIGHTEN ABOUT HOW LONG THE PASSAGE IS, just read the 2nd and 5th paragraph onwards about mindset and setting a target.

Firstly, you have to have the mindset to lose weight! Without it you would not be as successful. In the past when i am over-weight, I did not care about my body and continued living, thinking that it would be alright growing up fat but society are just as cruel... I did not change until an incident which inspires me to be healthy and look good.
So you need to think of a target and the reasons for you to lose weight. It could be anything like wanting to look good or for health reasons. Anytime you feel like giving up, think of your target and work towards it.

Secondly, food intake should be lesser by 1/5 but eat all your 3 meals. And only eat when you are hungry although there are times when you do not know you are hungry or not(like me, weird stomach) so stick to your meals. Of course, eat healthier food. Details of healthy food or how to make it healthy can be found in the Internet or books.

Thirdly, find a sport or activity that will make you lose weight. Make that activity like your personal habit and do it often. I chose basketball as my friends play it and now i am good at it so make a wise decision of which sport to choose and go for it, no slacking. Surely there would be difficult as you would be in a disadvantage as you would be look down on because of your size. For example, you are playing soccer with your friends and they choose you to be the goalkeeper because of your size. That means you would be standing at the goalpost most of the time- result, no weight loss. Repel! Say that you want to be another position like a striker and make them pay! Go for the ball! Play the game like you would not play it again! Play it with your heart! That way you could take advantage of your desires- result, a lot of weight loss.

I could not go on cause of time limit and laziness, although I still can say a lot. But the mindset thing is already enough, the most important aspect of losing weight is that! REMEMBER, every time when you are about to give up, every time when you are lazy to go out to exercise, every time when you want to eat extra, every time you step into a fast food restaurant AND every time you are tempted to do sometime that you know that would foil your attempt on losing weight, think about your target, about what you have been through for the past years, being look down because of your size. If that is not enough of a reason... Think of your FUTURE, predict. What would you be like when you grow up. Would you get the boyfriend/girlfriend that you are dreaming for? Or someone who you would marry for the sake of marrying. Or do you think you could get a partner that you like just with your character or personality alone? That only happens in fairy tales... The modern world is not that kind nowadays.

So come on! Change yourself! Do your body a favor! Give yourself a chance to make yourself look good. Whenever you feel like losing hope, read this again and think about what you can achieve when you lost every pounds of fats and attain your dream body. That would be enough for you to make the decision to change for yourself.

I ended up typing too much, lol. So all this are from my personal point of view and all comes from experience. Haha, maybe I should be a weight loss counselor or something.
I have lost 20kg from obese(severely overweight) to healthy weight because of the power of the mindset..

If I can do it, so can you...

Agnes Said:

Do rest days promote fat loss in a weight/cardio workout program?

We Answered:

you need to rest a muscle group in an off day between workouts.
Some people will work out alternating muscle groups every other day so that each muscle group has a day of rest between.

The rest is 50% of the workout. Without it, you just won't grow muscle tissue.

Best weight losing workout program you EVER tried????

We Answered:

Mine was a fitness challenge that I made up called Twenty for Thirty. I challenged myself to do at least 20 minutes of exercise every single day for 30 days with NO excuses (no matter what!) I blogged about it online and told my friends what I was doing to hold myself accountable. Most of the days, once I got to 20 minutes, I kept exercising until I'd completed 30 or 45 minutes of exercise, but some days I was struggling (not motivated, tired, whatever) to finish the twenty, but I did it! One night I had to jump on my treadmill at 11:30 pm to get it in! When walking on the treadmill got too boring, I was forced to try out other exercise options that I had always put off trying in the past.

It was a great challenge because I discovered exactly what my most-used excuses were and how to overcome them. After the 30 days, it was much easier for me to stick to a more moderate program (exercise 3-4 days per week) without giving in to all my excuses. During the 30 days, I lost 9 pounds, and afterwards I was able to lose another 5 because I couldn't rely on my old stand-by excuses any more -- I knew from doing my Twenty for Thirty that I really WASN'T "too tired" to do any exercise, and I DID have time in the day! That was my best workout program ever because it helped me change my lifestyle and my attitude toward exercise so that I could stick with it in the long run!
