Common Questions and Answers about Workout routines using body weight

Are you losing weight at all? The best way to keep weight off is to lose a bit at a time so it stays off, and you don't say if you're getting anywhere or getting nowhere. I would ask, if this exercise is new to you, meaning you weren't doing this before, do you notice anything positive happening in the shape of your body?
I do cardio kickboxung twice a week followed by body sculpting that involves light weights (8-10lb weights) that's on tuesday and Thursdays. Wednesdays I usually take my dogs for long walks. I'm a hair dresser so the other days I'm working and am too exhausted and sore to do anything else as of right now. Keep exercising it's good for both of you.
It's possible that you're at a plateau, where your metabolism has adjusted to your caloric intake and your exercise level.
Try changing your workout routines around to "trick" your body. You might also be retaining fluids a bit.
You might also try getting a body fat percentage done to see if you're already as lean as you can reasonably get. If you are, no amount of dieting or exercise will change your weight very much.
Do your mean lifting weights as in weight lifting the sport, or lifting weights as in bodybuilding, I cant think of a reason that bodybuilding should stunt your growth, but that you may just a small build, in that case you may find it hard to build your weight up, and weight lifting could stop you growing by the amount of weights that you lift over your head.
Hello all! I just had a baby 3 weeks ago, dropped down to my pre pregnancy weight but of course need to tighten my stomach and hoping to lose about 20 pounds. Any pointers? Really wanting the tight stomach back!!!! Any help would be great!
It all depends on how you treat your body during pregnancy...
have you change up your exercise routines at all? i know you said you've up your calorie intake, but also at the same time is burning more calories. sometimes when your body is so used to doing the same thing for a long time, things become pretty easy and your body doesn't have to work as hard. i say you're probably at that plateau state. that can be tough especially when you've worked so hard and know you're still working hard to lose those last few pounds.
I know it burns calories and it works body muscles, but i am not seeking to lose weight, my weight is normal and good. I am doing all body muscles workouts at home (sometimes intense workout) including abdominal workouts. I want to start swimming for a while and i want to know what are the benefits of swimming, and what will my muscles and abs benefit from it.
Target two or three muscle groups during each workout session. For example, a workout to tone the body might target leg muscles one day, chest and back muscles on a separate day and arm and shoulder muscles on a third day. Perform two or three exercises for each muscle group. Start with bodyweight exercises, such as situps, pushups and pullups. Then progress to basic weightlifting exercises, such as bench presses, lat pulldowns and squats.
Get into using Gymnastic Rings for an amazing and challenging upper body workout. You can strap them up pretty much anywhere that is strong enough to hold your body weight. I'm personally just getting into using rings and love it, and although I heavy weight lift I am finding it even more challenging!
I am a 16 year old female I'm 5'10" and roughly 190 lbs. I'm in a swimming camp through my school so we are swimming laps in the pool for two hours and then for another 45 minutes we either do yoga, Pilates or circuit training. I'm looking to lose weight and increase my endurance for the swim team season but I just still don't know if it's healthy.
cardio exercises like aerobics help u to reduce weight very fast while yoga tones the body and keeps your body systems fit( though cardio exercises also keep the system strong especially circulation of blood).. so you can do either of the two but you need guidance in the initial levels.. good luck...
Let your body recover. Relax. It took nine months for your uterus to grow that big. It will take a heck of a lot more than a week for your abdominal organs to return to their proper size and location. Stay hydrated and start gently getting yourself into a routine of taking walks a few times a week. Don't start drastic diets or trying to force things back in place with constrictive clothing, don't start any crazy workout routines.
With all the recent changes in the body, it may just be a temporary issue. Hormonal problems can cause weight gain, water retention, etc. So don't sweat it out unless a couple months have passed and there are no changes.
Otherwise, you might check how many calories you're consuming. You may be cutting too much or eating a tad over what's necessary. I tend to think this is just a temporary issue, however. You dropped 4 lbs in two weeks already. The rest will come with time.
