How to look and feel good ?

Question

So if I want to loose weight in 3 months how should I go about doing it. I work a full time job and at night but I really don't set time apart for my health like I should. I'm not over weight but I need to get in shape. I want loose at least 30lbs. Please help.

Answer 1

Start by your diet

Different doctors will say different things...but my best friend is in college to be a personal trainer && she always says that your diet is extremely important...

Be sure your not putting in too much fatty foods into your body && well Im not going to lecture you about that

Also, because gyms cost a lotta $$$$ then just try to go for a walk around your block at least 3 times a week

If you keep it up you'll be suprised how much more in shape you can get

Good Luck

Answer 2

Jump rope for at least 20 minutes a day, try doing some yoga in the mornings too, it reaaally helps.
