What are the best exercises for weight loss? ?

Question

I want something relatively simple that doesn't require big workout equipment. I know of sit-ups and that's about it. Help please? :)

Answer 1

pretty much any exercise is good

go to a gym, they have all the exercise apparatus needed but if you don't want to use equipment try doing circuits with friends, get about five of you together in a circle and have a different exercise at each point for example:

sit ups

press ups

squat thrusts

planks

crunches

star jumps ( proper ones)

runnig on the spot

do each exercise three times (so your going round the circle three times) first for 30 s. then for 1min. then for 1min. 30s.

if you don't want to do that run or cycle or just do the curcuits on your own.

Hope this helps and good luck! = )

Hello!

Firstly, you need to be careful with weight loss. Rapid weight loss really isn't healthy for you and if you are planning on losing weight for an event, then you need to plan in advance. Typicaly guidelines are 2 to 3 pounds weight loss a week is healthy. More than that and you do run a risk of damaging yourself.

Losing weight is, in itself, relatively easy. You need to

1) Consume Less Calories

2) Burn More Calories

What is difficult is the motivation for weight loss.

Most people struggle to lose weight because they do not have the motivation and because they give in to all the temptation around.

I personally have found that hypnosis is an excellent way to deal with weight loss motivation as it works with the subconscious mind and really helps you get motivated. A good hypnotist can also do things like stop you craving chocolate and sweet things and help you be more motivated with exercise and the like.

I've also found that as the excess weight starts to drop off I am feeling much more self confident and better about myself.

All the best to you!

firstly losing weight comes from good eating and regular exercise.

i shall start with good eating. To lose weight and maintain a healthy digestive system and overall body you need to consume at least 5 servings of fruit. so instead of having a milo, or sugary/fatty cereals have:

Breakfast- Low fat natural yoghurt (try greek ) with freshly chopped strawberries, blueberries and mango or what ever tickles your fancy. Sprinkle some oats over the top and away you go. Not only will you feel fuller but you will also find yourself feeling happier and less unhealthy. Like the feeling you get after eating McDonalds.

You also need a variety of fish, chicken and leafy vegetables. So for lunch try something like

Lunch: A tuna/chicken sandwhich, on wholemeal/wholegrain bread NO WHITE with some spinach or lettuce. Slices of tomato and onion. A little bit of dressing, mayonaise or whatever. but keep it to a minimun.

And you definitely need vegetables and red meat. So for dinner try..

Dinner: A medium to medium rare steak, the size of your fist no bigger. Do not add salt to the meat add pepper! Boil some water and put a steamer over it, chop up some carrot throw in some green beans, some broccoli, squash or whatever vegetable you like. You should notice a nice fresh feeling even after the first day.

Weightloss does not work without exercise. Over exercising is bad espicially if you don't usually exercise try off by doing this maybe

When you wake up go for a short 15 minute run or walk.

do pilates or yogalates.

eat breakfast

if possible squeeze in some additional exercises, like another walk.

after lunch do 20 situps, the ones where you reach your elbow to your opposite knee. 20 squats. 10 push-ups. And follow that by a good 5-10 minutes of stretching.

after dinner maybe take the dog if you have one for a long walk about 1 hour. Do some more situps or pilates.

and you should definately see some changes in the first week, mentally and two weeks physically.

Make sure to drink pleaty of water 8 glasses or more a day. take a drink bottle everywhere. even to work or school or uni or tafe or the movies or to lunch.

i hope you succeed in your weightloss. do not try any extreme dieting do it naturally and healthy and you won't look like a lollipop you'll look toned and gorgeous.

GOODLUCK!

Answer 5

The absolute best exercise for weight loss is HIIT cardio. It has proven to boost you metabolism for hours after the workouts and it also increases your testosterone and growth hormone production...both of which help you lose fat.

My personal best HIIT is 1 minute jog and 15 second sprint. Try it...benefits are excellent.

Answer 6

push-ups help... leg ups too for your butt and thyes (however its spelled) Its where you just lay on your side and lift on of your legs up like 50 - 100 times a night... helps alot... don't forget the other leg!~

Answer 7

you should definitly go jogging - that burns the most calories. and if you can't do that, try walking, swimming, or bike riding:) good luck:)

Answer 8

Any form of cardio.
