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.

Question by Morgan: What are some exercises I can do at home?
I’m 16, and since it’s summer, I’m home most of the time. My mom works and I can’t drive myself, so I have no access to a gym or exercise equipment. I’m really trying to lose weight, so what can I do at home to help?

Answer by B
Push-ups are always good to help tone up the arms.
Doing the Bent-Knee sit ups really help work the abs ( this is one of my favs)
Another really good one is the Front Plank this one is a bit hard but it really works ( also one of my favs)

Here is a website that should help you with more workouts and will show you how to perform the workouts properly.

Crunches and push-ups work many of your major muscle groups without the need for extra equipment. For cardio, you can turn up the music and dance like crazy, or jog in place, or invest a few bucks in a DVD (I love the Bellydancing for Beginners DVD, since it’s a great workout that also feels like I’m learning something). You can also throw yourself into your everyday chores and errands and get some workout potential out of those; I wrote a blog entry (below) about sneaky ways to get some exercise out of everyday routines, so that might help you, too. Good luck!

anyone know good ab exercises?

Question by ~hi§ hot wife~: anyone know good ab exercises?
i exercise often i have trouble with my belly.. i have 2 kids and am not the same. any ideas?

Best answer:

Answer by Mase
Everyone make the mistake that if you have belly fat to work out the belly to get rid of it….. nope, you got to work out the full body.
It doesn’t really matter what you eat (besides the obvious junk food) and when you eat it, as long as it has the nutrients your body needs and you give it to your body when it needs it. You cant forget protein, which is not only a main building block for your body but for your mind as well. I will explain.
One of the worst things you can do to your body is stop eating. Your body needs fuel just like your car needs fuel. And just like your car, the better the fuel and oil is, the better the cars performance, the better the food and liquid is that you put in your body with too make you “run” better.
If you are trying to lose fat. Try to raise your metabolism by eating smaller meals, more nutritious meals, and about five or six meals throughout the day.
Also, remember that if you are working out you are also building muscle, and muscle weighs more than fat does. So as you lose the fat and gain the muscle your weight might not adjust for a while until your muscle building reaches a plateau and your body begins to really tare away fat.
If you do not want to eat five or six small meals a day. Eat three meals a day, smaller portions, then between breakfast and lunch have a healthy snack or meal replacement shake, and another between lunch and dinner.
The idea is to teach your body to get rid of all extra fuel it doesn’t need, which are fats, carbs, and simple sugars for the most part. And once your body begins to understand that you are giving it the fuel it needs when it needs it, then your body will no longer store fat cells as a fuel reserve.
It is also a good idea to use a body cleanser, or detoxify before beginning any change in diet. Especially if you are going to begin eating healthier. The process might cause head aches or muscle cramps depending on what your body has become used to. Also diarrhea is a common side effect of most cleansing programs, but don’t worry this is a sign that your body is getting rid of the toxic substances. The cleans will help your body to easily extract the nutrients it needs from the food you intake and bypass the rest as waste.
To expedite the process it always helps to concentrate on full body workouts to keep energy storage empty. Also, drink water, water is used to clean your body inside and out. Stay away from caffeine and soda.
This will take time. But once you are able to achieve routine with your eating habits it is one of the easiest ways to keep the fat off.
So with this, your diet can be very flexible as well. You can have sweets and things but for best results I would stay away from all simple sugars, like candy.
Good luck and God bless.
