How to lose weight and get motivation?

[Anonymous]

I'm 23 years old and I'm 4 feet 10 inches and I weight 130 lbs and I want to lose 30 lbs and only weigh 100 lbs. if anyone could give me some ideas that would be great. how many times should I work out a week and what type of exercises. I want to get a flat tummy and all. please don't be rude or mean. thanks

You should work out 3x a week, every other day, giving your body rest between each workout. During each session, do about 20 minutes of cardio, then 3 sets of ~15 reps of weights (chest press, lat pull down, bicep curls, tricep extensions, bicycle crunches & plank position ~30 secs (these are amazing), leg extension, curl, & press), and repeat for around 3/4 times. It's important to do both cardio and weights, because weights will keep your body burning fat even after you stop. Drink lots of water, and eat healthy. Good luck :)

Basically eat lots of lean protein, fruits, and veggies, avoid junk food, whole grains, don't starve yourself, and do full body strength training a few times a week.

Diet and exercise. Burn more calories than you take in.

Running is best if you're trying to lose flab and gain a little muscle.

I would start out by exercising every other day. For a flat tummy, I'd eat less carbs and do crunches every day.

i have lost pounds in the last couple of weeks by just drinking more water and not anything else.
