Losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight is done 80% in the kitchen and 20% in the gym. Start off with a healthy diet – lean meats such as chicken, fish, turkey, and flank steak; whole grains such as brown rice, wheat bread, whole grain pasta; vegetables; fruits; and healthy fats (in moderation) such as olive oil, nuts and legumes. Eating 5-6 small healthy meals a day (around 350 calories each) is important. Limit yourself to drinking water and occasional green tea. Eliminate all processed foods, sugary drinks, desserts, high fat foods, and fast food.
Begin a workout regime that includes cardio and resistance training. The more muscle you have, the higher you metabolism is going to be, thus more calories you will be burning throughout the day. Cardio is imperative to burn calories and fat immediately, while resistance training will tone your body and keep you burning fat for up to 48 hours. Begin with 20-30 minute cardio sessions 4-5 days a week (interval cardio burns fat the quickest and boosts your metabolism compared to aerobic exercise). Start resistance training 3 days a week – Mondays – Chest/Triceps, Wednesdays – Legs/Back, Fridays – Shoulders/Biceps. If you want to incorporate ab routines, divide up your abdominal region too: Mondays – Upper Abdominals, Wednesdays – Obliques, and Fridays – Lower Abs.
Stay positive throughout this. Think about how you will feel when you reach your goal and why it is worth it in the end. Good luck!
sorry you feel so bad. try going for walks… maybe that will motivate you to do more physical things. walking feels good, being out in the sun and its not hard on you when you start. and when at home if your watching tv you can do small exercises ( squats, leg lifts…) while theres commercials on.
i hope this helps you some. good luck
Reduce fat.
With regard EO fat, the research is clear: Diets too high in fat promote overweight and obesity. You should strive to consume no more than 25 percent of your calories from fat – and that fat should the “non-saturated” type.
start eating correctly as well as exercising and going to the gym its like yin and yang they go together and don’t excersie to lose weight exercise to be healthy
If you want something to do indoors, buy a Wii console and the Wii Fit game & balance board.
I have one, they are so fun and you are working out without even knowing it. The more you get into it, the more you try to beat old scores and workout more. Good luck, you can do it if you put your mind to it
