Is last minute 5kg weight loss in 9 weeks doable?

[Anonymous]

I've been exercising through out the year. I don't do much in the weekend, but I walk home for about 30 minutes Monday to Friday.

I don't go to the gym cause I'm not a fan of them and I leave for work at 7am and get home at 6:30pm.

So that gives me time to only do stuff at home.

I'm going away on vacation in 9 weeks and want to lose at least 5kgs.

I'm 70kgs at the moment, not sure of my exact height. Think around 165cm.

What kind. of exercises should I be doing to achieve this?

Thank you

Losing 5kg in 9 weeks is a reasonable and achievable goal if you maintain a healthy diet and exercise regimen. Here are some tips that may help:

1. Focus on a healthy diet: Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help you lose weight and maintain good nutrition. Consider tracking your food intake and portion sizes to ensure you're in a calorie deficit.

2. Incorporate strength training: Strength training exercises, such as bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, or dumbbells, can help you build muscle and boost your metabolism. Aim for at least two strength training sessions per week.

3. Include cardio: Cardiovascular exercises, such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming, can help you burn calories and improve your cardiovascular health. Aim for at least three cardio sessions per week.

4. Be consistent: Consistency is key when it comes to weight loss. Aim to exercise regularly and stick to a healthy diet throughout the 9-week period.

5. Get enough sleep: Getting enough sleep is important for weight loss and overall health. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night.

Remember to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise program or making significant changes to your diet. With dedication and consistency, you can achieve your weight loss goals in a healthy and sustainable way.

That should be very doable as it's only q.2 ibs per week. If you watch your sodium intake keep it under 2000mg per day and keep you sugar intake yo 24 grams per day doing those two things will be self limiting for good intake. So no fast food as it's super high in both sodium and added sugar. Get used to reading the nutritional labels on foods. If you can up your walking to an hour per day that would be good and drink lots of water, tea, calorie free, sugar free, and sodium free fruit flavored sparkling water. You should them meet your goal.

It is possible, but not just by exercising. Loosing weight is 90% nutrition and 10% exercising.

Just stick with the routine you have now, but maybe increase the walking by 30 minutes.
