How to lose weight through excercise for beginners? I got the eating part down, but not the excercise

[Anonymous]

Im trying to lose fat. Not tone up. I know that I will lose fat all over my body and I have no problem,with that as long as I lose weight and fat. So I'm a beginner and what do I need to do? I'm not joining a gym because my friend and I wanted to both try the jogging track out first. I can only workout about 3 days a week. Any help?

Lift weights. This the biggest mistake beginners can ever make, is when they don't lift weights.

If you think you are gonna look like a bodybuilder by lifting weights, you are definitely wrong. WHAT YOU EAT will determine how you look.

Compare an fitness competitor to a runner, who has a more sexually attractive body? the fitness competitor of course.

I suggest, 3 days a week, traditional bodybuilding routine. 15 minutes of cardio, one hour lifting and that's it.

Mondays: Chest, triceps

Wednesdays: Upperback, Lower Back

Fridays: Legs, Core

I do suggest toning up along with the others but if you want to talk strictly weight loss ok.

If you got the eating part down, then well you just have to calculate how many calories are in that plan you have and adjust the workout accordingly so that you're losing weight.

The thing with a lot of running cardio stuff is that you run a risk of having an increased appetite which will make you eat more and not lose weight. You can try interval cardio if you want a decent healthy approach to cardio. Look that up in your spare time.

getting in a routine like running 3-4 times a week is good, you should add in some toning exercises as well, because they don't just tone, they also burn calories.

and try to be more active in general, like walk more places, things that don't need to make much time for or change into running gear for.

Weight training is one of the best things to incorporate into your routine. Muscle tone will help boost your metabolism and help you burn more calories in the long run.

Definitely use cardio, but don't forget weights! You won't bulk up or look scary.

First off diet is the most important part of losing weight so it's good that you have that down. Cardio is important, just make sure you are getting to your target heart rate, this is what helps burn the most fat. Lastly, an average person sitting on the couch burns less calories then a muscular person sitting on the couch. So... Do some strength training, it WILL help.

Cardio exercises are the most effective at burning weight. I recently learned that in my nutrition class. So, do activities which are long, but not too intense. Cardio. Browse online for some great exercises. They will help you burn weight, become more flexible, sleep better, and more.

As a beginner, 3 days per week will be enough.
