What are some ways I can lose some extra fat and tone up?

[tyt_2012]

I just wanna lose some fat and tone up, how do I do it? How much should I run/jog everyday? How many sit ups should I do everyday and for how long? How many push-ups? How do I tone my arms? How often should I do these exercises a week?

Thank you in advance

That picture doesn't tell me anything.

And the best way to get tone and lose extra fat is to get in at least 1 hour of cardio every day and have a spotless diet (with the exception of 3 cheat meals per week so you don't go crazy and binge).

Push-ups and sit-ups are good, but they won't necessarily get you toned in the right places (for a girl). Squat thrusts, burpees, and mountain climbers will get you toned and curvy for sure. Do 10 reps each consecutively without stopping, and do 4-5 sets. Rest about 30 seconds in between each set.

I put that picture up to show my weight but its not really clear. Hmm

So, no junkfood AT ALL? Should I totally cut out junkfood from my diet?

[WoIIie]

Yeah, but you should schedule 3 cheat meals throughout the week so you're not completely deprived of happiness.

For losing fat, I'd recommend the APK Warm up:

3 sets of:

400m sprint

10 - 15 squats

10-15 push ups

10 - 15 pull ups

1 minute of sampson stretches (google it)

For toning the arms, (as well as the whole body!) I suggest the Planche progression. (Google it) Typically the planche progression is good for toning because it uses your own body weight.

Great answe! :)

Thank you :D

How long should I do this for? Weeks? Months? What about diet?

[Opinion Owner]

Do the workout for as long as you can: months, years, or until you get bored of it. Lots of people get bored of a certain workout, so it's OK to switch it up as long as you do the same / more amount of exercise in the new workout.

As for diet, decrease the overall mass of food you eat per meal / per day. Then once you feel that you are up to it, cut out as much (preferably all) high fructose corn syrup. Get your sugar from natural juices, fruits, and smoothies (which you make yourself).

[tyt_2012]

How long till I see a difference? And I was asking how long should I do it for because I wanna know how quick my new workout will make me lose some extra fat.

[Opinion Owner]

I saw a difference in about 2 or 3 months, but be warned: You should never start a workout while looking at a target date to see a difference. It's the other way around, you should start a workout with the intention of staying with it and improving yourself for the rest of your days.

[tyt_2012]

Okay, what foods would you recommend I eat? And should I only eat 3 meals a day, no snacks? And if I do have snacks, should they only be fruity snacks like yoghurts or salad or just some sorta healthy snack? Should I totally remove junkfood from my diet too?

[Opinion Owner]

Don't get too involved in diet plans / calorie counting. Counting calories is secondary to exercising. It is much more beneficial to lose weight by exercise, rather than dieting. Generally, you could eat like normal as long as you workout and EXPEND more energy than you're CONSUMING.

It's fine if you still eat some sugary snacks every now and then, just make sure you stay consistent in your workout routine.

[tyt_2012]

Okay, thank you. :)

for muscles, do pushups squats and pullups. 3 or 4 sets. 10-15 reps

jog for 20-30 minutes everyday. or use the elliptical. the key is to get your heart rate up (not too much though)

as for diet, just stay away from junk food (you know what it is). eat foods that don't have a whole lot of fat. baked potatoes are great for carbs (no sodium, no cholestoral, no fat!)

stretch regularly, drink water, and get enough sleep every day..

just keep it simple and you'll be good. this will cover pretty much everything

here something that worked for me. depending on where you live and what your exercise area looks like. these are some tips for exercising around the house.



to get the blood flowing start with a 10 min jog/walk

10 push ups

10 sit ups use a couch to help hold your feet down.

10 stair steps.

10 bicep curls with a kitchen chair.

repeat 3 times.

then to finish with another 15 min jog/walk.

drink plenty of water. water is your best friend. the less sugar you eat/drink the better. you will lose pounds

[ericneo]

Swap out potato chips for cucumber which you can season with spice yourself, and swap out milk for slim milk and soda for diet soda such as sprite to sprite zero seeing as the calories drop a great deal.

[Flusher]

About the diet sodas.. of course they have less sugar.. but so many other products that are bad for your body.

[ericneo]

while this is true it also is also a huge amount of calories per glass less then the non diet sodas.

[FrancoBattiato]

So you can loose weight while gaining a brain tumor. Google 'Aspartame', in all 'sugar free' products.

[ericneo]

I think you mean *lose* and refer to *Phenylalanine* which is in a lot of products.

[chettah-two]

HIIT once every 3 days.

Cut THAT food you like, everyone has something, for me its chocolate and doughnuts

[jimmy217]

jog as far as you can, and as many sit ups and push ups you can do. For toneing you can use free weights and use low weight with many reps. Or use resistant bands. Tricep dips if you have no weight to tone your arms

[tyt_2012]

[jimmy217]

it is funny to see you ask a serious question

[tyt_2012]

LOL, I bet it is. :P Who knows, I might not even be serious about this. ;) xx

[TedStar]

Jumping rope and cycling works wonders in terms of weight-loss and toning .

[Toeng]

I heard that drinking Apple cider vinegar is good for loosing weight, you should look it up :)

[tyt_2012]

Hmm, does it taste nice? Lol

[Jazz_92]

not at all but I heard the same thing

[sweet_18]

um I don't know just start calorie counting and find a work out program that you like :)

[tyt_2012]

Thanks :)

Jogging. Going for runs. Generally doing things that are very taxing.

[Anonymous]

[tyt_2012]

Medus;) Lol jkjk. Ta

[Jazz_92]

jogging 30-40 min daily is enough

[tyt_2012]

Thanks :)

[Jazz_92]

welcome and don't cut the food, just don't eat like a cow ;D

[tyt_2012]

Hmm, should I cut out ALL junkfood (chocolate, crisps, coke, fried food)...?

[Jazz_92]

it won't hurt :P eat veggies fruits and don't gorget meat and carbohydrates. carbohydrates are the main sourse of ebergy for the body and you need energy in order to run :P

[tyt_2012]

gorget?

[Jazz_92]

lol XD I mean forget and also ebergy is actually energy XD

[tyt_2012]

Ohh, I see, haha. And yeah, I figured ebergy is energy :P

Thank you :)
