Argh I’ve read so many advice from all these people and there’s soooooo many misconceptions that hurt people instead of helping.
1) You resistance train before cardio because in the beginning your using up quick stored energy instead of the fat on your body. Cardio burns more fat so do it when all the stored energy has been used.
2) Toning does not exist. Tone is just the state of your relaxed muscle. If you do high reps low weight your muscles build more endurance and firmer they don’t look any better or have any better definition.
3) Doing ab exercises does not give you abs. There is no such thing as “spot reduction.” Losing the fat on your stomach requires dieting and cardio.
4) Doing ab exercises w/o additional weight only gives you endurance not muscle growth.
5) You can’t exercises crazily and not diet and expect good results.
6) There are NO quick fixes, any dramatic change takes time to do it right and to do it well.

ive eaten:
muesli with a banana for breakfast, snack an apple, then lunch was cous cous and vegetables then an hour after i had some date and walnut cake then a bowl of speical K :( what should i eat for dinner ect to balence this out and how much exercise should i do to maybe burn the cake off??
i think my breakfast was about 300 calories, lunch 500 plus the apple 50, the cake 400 and the cereal 200. 1450!! :O how can i burn this off walking? how much exercise should i do and how much do u think i should burn off??
thankyou x
please no stupid answers :) best answer i’ll send you a free pedometer x

If I eat roughly 1700 calories per day, and walk 8 miles per day (my pedometer calculates this to burn roughly 900 calories) plus exercise intensely for an hour (burning roughly 600 calories) – am I eating enough?
I don’t feel hungry but I don’t understand how this can be right.
Neglecting my BMR for a second, this comes out to be 1700 – (600 + 900) = 200 calories intake.
Can someone please explain this to me?

I am tired of the excuses. I cry about being overweight but won’t get up off my fat a$$. That is going to change.
I got an exercise bike given to me and I bought a pedometer and some 3lb weights.
Today I rode my exercise bike 3 times at 1.5 minutes each (moderate pace). I couldnt do more than a minute and a half at first. But then later I did it for 15 minutes straight at a moderate pace. At first it is hard but then you get used to it.
How long should I ride my exercise bike every day? I need to lose about 40 lbs. And how should I lift the weights I have? I am starting off with 3 lbs and then I will buy more heavy ones as I get stronger. And when it warms up outside (if it ever does) I am going to go walking. It is about 10 degrees every day right now though. I am trying to find a cheap treadmill right now though. They are so expensive!
And I also have a mini trampoline I am going to start jumping on every day. How long should I do that for?

How many steps should I be taking a day. I have a pedometer. I’m a 20 year old girl and I weight 170. I’m over weight. I want to start loosing 4-5 pounds a week. I have no problem excersizing just lazy to do it. I have the pedometer and love watching the numbers go up.
So to all you experts out there how many steps/miles do i have to walk a week to lose 5 pounds a week? if I’m only taking in 1200 calories a day. And riding a stationary bike for an hour 4 days a week…
Please help!
