weight loss/fitness advice needed

I know Im a gal and all and might be slightly different, but when I go to the gym I try to alternate everything like short little bursts of excercise (about 10-15 mins) on different equipment, I read somewhere recently its best to keep your workouts varied rather than doing the same thing for a long time so maybe try that? Im not an expert or anything it just keeps me a bit more interested too and doesnt seem as daunting.

N although you might not be down with this I love doing the pump it up vid cos it has loads of cheesy ministry of sound songs on! :blush: but dont have anywhere to do it in flat but I noticed a difference from doing something like that about 4 times a week!

Get wii fit, its genius

Run, run and run abit more. And try to eat smaller meals more frequently rather than eating 3 big meals a day.

The biking will do you good but not as much as running, unless your going 80% flat out for over an hour.
Try doing sprint drills, I prefer doing these to joggin simply because its more intense.

If you're eating relatively healthy then I wouldn't change your diet. Just do some exercise! If you're not keen on the treadmill why not try squash or something a bit more enjoyable?

5 to 6 meals a day is alot better than 3

To lose weight energy in must be less than energy out, which seems obvious but is something loads of people (mostly fat people) ignore.

Eat less and be more active - smaller meals/less snacking and a bit of exercise, combined with increased activity by getting off the bus a few stops early or parking the car further away from where you're going.

If you lose the weight slowly there's more chance of it staying off.

Or just take loads and loads of speed every morning.

i knew a lass who did this, she started off being festivly plump (a fatty) and ended up the exact same weight and just kept collapsing all the time

running might be a bit heavy on the skeleton if you havnt excerised in a few years. try walking first to get you in to a routine of getting out and keep on the same loop/course and try timing yourself/keep track of distance - do this so you can judge if its too much or too little you're doing

try and leave two hours after a meal before you excercise to avoid cramps and all that other bad stuff.

excercise in the morning before breakfast then its out the way and fills you full of power for the day

eat relatively close to the end of your session to refill used energy

what he said

For weight loss training its recommended you do cv exercises 5 times a week for at least half an hour each time. Its at least 20 mins into your workout before your body will turn to its fat stores for energy, so the longer the better. There is some disagreement into what the intensity of the exercise needs to be. some scientists say training around 65% of you maximum heart rate (the fat burning zone) while other recommend training at higerh intensities.

Weight training can help you lose weight in 2 ways, burning you carb stores, so when you finish exercising you turn to your fat stores for energy to conserve your carb stores. secondly lean body mass (muscle) burns more calories at rest, therefore the more you have the more calories you burn at rest.

When i give fat burning programmes i usually start the client off with weight exercises and then move them onto cv at high-ish intensity and then lower the intensity further on in the workout.

You also need to keep an eye on how many calories you take in, you may be eating the most healthy foods in the world but if you eating too much then this will just turn into fat

Chewy where do you work?

my main job is at Durham University, and i also work at the louisa centre in stanley every now and then

Man of many jobs. I wasnt sure if you were a Lynx rep at one point

...as well as earning your main income selling stolen goods.

I dont sell stolen goods

When I was a fat cunt I did 2 classes of 'spinning' a week. It's fucking solid, but well worth it, especially if you're into your cycling. Weight loss is very quick as well!

i used to do the odd spin class like..they knack!
