If weight loss is what you're looking for then here's what you need. The best combination for weight loss is calorie restriction, resistance training, and aerobic work. Let's start with calorie restriction. Over the years I have had personal training clients as well as athletes come to me wondering why they are not losing weight. They tell me they eat right, exercise right, say their prayers, eat their vitamins, etc., and they just can't seem to lose weight. Well, most of the time, once I really get to know them, I find that nutrition is the culprit. You need to know what you're eating. Most of the people I'm talking about all thought they did. \n\nHow do you change this? Well, it may sound tough, but it's not that bad. You need to keep track of what you eat for 2 days over the week, and 1 day over the weekend. Next, go to you're local book store. You can find charts, books, and computer programs that will help you analyze the foods you ate. Another suggestion would be to take your dietary recall to a nutritionist or exercise physiologist at your local college and let them find it for you. \n\nThese recalls will tell you how many calories you're getting plus where they are coming from. For example, are they coming from protein, carbohydrate, or fat. It will help you see where you stand nutritionally. \n\nNext, you need to get on a good strength program. When a person is losing weight, the weight comes from fat, as well as muscle. That's kind of an unfortunate thing because muscle is an important thing when keeping metabolism high. There is enough research out there to safely say that when going through a phase of high intensity aerobic work and calorie restriction, strength training decreases muscle wasting. So, in short, strength-train. It's important. I wouldn't strength-train for anymore that 20 to 30 minutes. You can get what you need in a short period of time. \n\nAfter the strength training, it's time to get on the bike, treadmill, stepper, track, whatever. Keep your workouts to 30 minutes and up in order to burn the calories. Train between 3 to 5 times per week. Keep your heart rate at 60 to 90% of heart rate max. \n\nDon't look at losing weight as some mysterious monster that you can't get the reins on. Look at it as nothing more than stored energy. That's what fat is?stored energy. If you had a tank full of energy and it kept filling up higher and higher, what would you do to keep your tank from growing too large from the excess energy? Well, burn some of the energy off. That's what you need to do to lose weight. Keep the "energy in" lower than the "energy out" and abracadabra, you're losing weight. \n\nNote: You need to change your routine every 2-3 weeks in order to get the best results. \n\nMonday \n\n\nLeg Press 2x12 \nChest Press 2x12 \nLat pull down 2x12 \nShoulder Press 2x12 \nDB Curl 2x12 \nTricep kickback 2x12 \nAerobic Work  30 or more minutes. \n\n Click Here For A Printable Log Of Monday! \n\nTuesday \n\n\nAerobic work 30 or more minutes of aerobic exercise.\nWednesday \n\n\nSame as Monday.\nThursday \n\n\nSame as Monday, or take a day of rest.\nFriday \n\n\nSame as Monday.

Running does burn more calories, but you can keep walking for 1 hr and not feel tired or worn out from exercise.\n\nRunning is stressful on your joints, whereas walking is not.  Both forms of exercise are good for your heart.\n\nIt really depends on the amount of time you have for exercise.  And what you plan on doing afterwards.  I usually enjoy walking more, so I do more of it, and thus get more exercise.  Running is a pain, and so I tend to avoid it more.  The best form of exercise is one that you enjoy.

Yes it is very effective.  It also helps increase your flexibility. But 30 minutes of martial arts will not burn the same amount of calories as 30 minutes of jogging.

Short of anything unhealthy, its hard to lose weight FAST. However, with a good regimen of exercise and a healthy diet, you can lose tons of weight in a few months or years, and you'll be in great shape too.\n\nI reccommend running, lots of people hate it but it's actually relaxing. You just listen to an iPod or just think while you run, and you'd be surprised how fast you forget your aching legs. Once you get used to it you even look forward to it, because running releases endorphins which act as your body's natural "high" drug.

You are not overweight, you are the right weight for your height. i would combine everslim with regular exercise. You can take walks other kinds of exercise.Your doing good, maybe eat lot of veggies, \nbut no starve di&#92;ets.If you lose to much too fast\nchances are the weight will come back because your body \nwill think its starving .

Doing aerobics helps a lot.Walking,jogging,cycling,ab crunches.etc.etc...go on a complete vegetarian diet,because all meat&fish sort of stuff don't give u a good energy.They simply add up to ur fat.They ,on all levels of energy give u negetivity.\nSee that ur diet is very nutritious.avoid junk foods,aerated drinks,high level sugar containing foods.fresh veggies & fruits are the best!!\ntry enjoying ur aerobic sessions, rather than machine like ones.yoga & dancing(need not be formal)are the best in this aspect.\n Don't strain urself too much in weight reduction as this will show even more adverse effect on ur health than overweight.

It's pretty common with people which do not perform intensive excercises every day.\n\nMy tip would be to try and breathe in a rhythm to the beat of your jogging footsteps, and to keep taking deep breaths at all times to ensure enough oxygen is suplied to your muscles - you won't get tired so quickly.

concentrate on jogging and swimming first, to cut pounds without building too much muscle on top of fat. back in the day, when my friend started playing football, he didn't lose weight before he started his heavy workouts, and while he's not fat anymore, he's extremely thick.\n\ndrink lots of water, cut out red meats, take plenty of vitamins.\n\nfor your breathing problems and side pains while jogging, you might try yoga...it helped me out alot...\n\nafter you see yourself losing a significant amount of weight, begin working out with weights...\n\nbe careful not to lose too much weight too fast, i believe the recommended amount is 2 lbs per week. and be careful to keep your weight at a decent level for your body frame. if you have large bones and get too skinny, you may end up looking like a bobble head.\n\ni think at e-diets.com you can get a recommended diet for your lifestyle.\n\nit may be worth trying...good luck.

jog is the best over all excersize, tread mill if the neighbor hood is too scary to do it outside. I know of a boy who joined the cross country team in High school just to run and he really slimmed down. He didnt win but he got healthier and slimmer.

Try increasing your mileage in your runs.  Running is a great way to lose weight.  Start off by increasing 1/4 of a mile every 2 weeks.

Running is definitely better than jumping on a trampoline.   You have to find an exercise you like though, otherwise you won't stick to it.  I myself like belly dancing.  Works the whole body, but more importantly the abs. (and I enjoy dancing to arabic music)

I'm in the same situation, so I jog/run/hike.  And do pushups.  Anything that gets your heart rate up for 15-20 a day.  And diet is really important at our point in the weight-loss cycle.  We can't just do diet OR exercise, we have to do both.

Yes, both help weight loss.  Running works faster, walking is less stressful on your body.  I suggest walking fast.  Both will build muscle, burn fat.

Absolutely! I'm overweight also and have found Yoga to be an excellent workout. It works on your muscles and helps you to tone them very quickly. It's much better for us due to less stress on the joints in our bodies. It's fairly low impact, but you still get a great workout!!!! You'll love it!

If you are very much overweight, yoga probably won't be possible.\n\nTry losing some weight by other means first.  You have to be thin and flexible to make yoga work.
