Answer by ny
an excellent exercise you can do it at home in front of your TV:
Attach a couple of ankle weights to your ankles.
Lay down on the floor or any other hard
surface. Use an exercise rug so as not to bruise your spine off the
floor. Put your hands behind your head, or spread them wide. Lift
your legs perpendicular to the floor, stop for a second. Lower the
legs down. Repeat ten times, stop. Turn on your stomach, raise on
your hands, with the lower part of the body on the floor, as if
trying to look at the ceiling. Turn back, do another set. Do three
sets with ten repetitions every day. In a week, you should see the
results. Once you are used to the exercise, and your muscles won’t
get stronger anymore, add weight to your ankle weights. Remember:
repeating the same easy exercise many times won’t help. Do it only
with the weights. Simple leg raises do not work. Use weights,
they do wonders. Stretch your spine between repetitions. Be careful
not to go for too heavy weight at once. Do not increase the weights
continuously, stop when your abs are defined – too heavy weights
will lead to injuries.

Trust me, follow this and you will loose a considerable amount of weight within 3 months.

Eat less between main meals (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). Seriously, if you’re hungry, buckle up. This will force your body to use the fat as a source of energy rather than rely on you to eat too much and deposit more fat into reserves.

Exercise more. If you burn off more calories than you eat, you will loose weight.

Don’t sit around all day watching TV, playing X-BOX, or sitting at a computer. Take up a hobby, like cross country, cycling, etc

Believe it or not stress is a exercise, bear this in mind.

If your family want to help you, they’ll support you by taking you to a gym if you want to go to one. It’s not weird to go to the gym if your a teenager, where I live plenty of teenagers go to the gym. Just run on a treadmill for thirty mins whilst listening to your ipod or doing a reading assignment.

Drink more water, this will speed up your metabolism (which will mean your body will burn through fat quick)

Drink less soda.

ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS have breakfast. Cereal is good. It will wake up your metabolism and as soon as you eat your bowl of cereal or toast, even once your digestive system processes it, your body will begin to burn through fat. It speeds up the process.

Healthy food: VEGETABLES, SALAD, ANYTHING WITH LESS THAN 200 CALORIES,

Exercise: RUN, not walk, for 20 mins and lift some weights you can manage every other day.

PS: Don’t use supplements, that’s insanely unhealthy, because they’re not real food. It’s better if you start a diet of food which contains more protein, less fat, etc and what the supplements have because you will get into a routine of eating those foods, but if you eat your normal diet – what you eat now, and take supplements, your tricking your body, and as soon as you stop taking those supplements – which are quite costly in fact – you will have the same problem again. Isn’t it better and more logical to spend that money on a real diet instead which will come out cheaper than processed food and junk and pop + supplements but will give you more nutrients, and taste a whole load better too?

Good Luck!

How do you know when an exercise routine is working?

Question by Mikaela <3: How do you know when an exercise routine is working?
So i try to do a nightly routine of ab crunches, yoga poses, etc. and after i do an exercise such as crunches for example, my stomach/abs will feel kinda warm. Is this normal? or am i doing something wrong?
I’m trying to get rid of fat around the obliques

Suggestions needed please!

Best answer:

Answer by I am me
sweetheart your fine. that warm feeling is just your body working the way its saposed to. to me a good work out is when you can feel it after your finished like if you do some crunches and you finish and the only thing you feel is tired from doing them but you dont have a tight feeling in your stomatch you probably should do a few more. a good beginers work out is a hard one. you should be able to feel it for at least a half hour after your finished and a great workout you should be able to feel the next day.
