Its good you've set a goal and are looking to find out how to achieve it! However losing 15 pounds in a month is unrealistic and unhealthy. Did you know it takes about a year for your body to adjust to losing 10 pounds? It's important to remember weight loss is a marathon and not a sprint. In order to lose weight and keep it off, you shouldn't look at it as weight loss but a way to become healthier!
Love handles are deposits of fat around the hips. They increase the risk of developing dangerous visceral fat that builds up around the organs. You can't lose weight in one area of your body. That's called spot reduction. The fastest and easiest way to lose your love handles is by losing weight.
You need to eat healthier foods that are loaded with nutrients. Eating nothing but fruits, greens, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, low fat dairy products, beans and fish.
re working or why -- exercise can be for fun, for health, for losing weight, for getting oversized muscles, for performance in a sport -- so your entire workout would go a long way to answering this question. I personally don't think it matters much unless, say, you have a bad lower back, in which case you might want to wait to do abs for last so you can then ease up the stress on the lower back.
I used to compete as both a bodybuilder and also as a national level power lifter - there really is only one thing that brings out abs - strict diet and cardio. All the crunches and sit ups in the world will not help. I recommend following a high protein low carb diet for 16 weeks along with a 30 minute cardio routine (running is best) at least 4 times a week - also continue with weightlifting as the promotion of muscle tissue assists with keeping the metabolism strong. Best of Luck.
I have gained a huge amount of weight in this short 3 months, and have always had a toned firm core/abs. It is now a flabby mess. Is there any exercise I can do to slowly firm up my abs? And how long do I need to weight to workout again (stationery bike)? I am walking, and occasionally swimming but not losing any weight, I just keep getting fatter.
Standing hold a dumbbell by your left side with your feet close together. Bend your torso to the left to lower the weight along the side of your leg and then to the right to lift the weight. Continue this movement pattern for at least 12 repetitions, then switch sides.
Put on ankle weights and hold a dumbbell in each hand, then lie face down on the floor with your arms extended forward.
he was in remission from Feb 10 to Aug 2010. On Aug 13, 2010, noticing that he was losing weight, his lab works were done and it shows TSH of <0.01, FT4 3.4 H (range 0.73-1.96) and FT3 10.4 H (2.3-4.2), thyroid peroxidate AB 89 (range < 35), thyroglobulin <0.5 (range <55), thyroglobulin AB 1709 (range < 40), TRAB 12.22 (range <1.75).
He is talking Methimazol (2 x 5 mg a day) since Aug 13.
It seems all his thyroid antibodies, both Hasi and Graves, are high.
How to lose fat??? I'm not allowed to go outside the house this summer...That's why I can't jog and bike or do anything sporty....so I'm having a hard time losing weight because of lack if exercise......could anybody just recommend me foods to eat for losing weight and what to do? Thanks!!!!
Back in December I started a weight loss program through diet and exercise. To start I was 140 lbs, now I am 113 lbs. I'm 23 years old, female, petite, small frame and short. I'm only 5 feet 2 inches. I've done a great job eating right and exercising. I've been able to tone up my arms and legs through weight training/brisk walking. My stomach is definitely smaller, toned a little bit, however, I still have lower abdominal fat. Often called the "lower belly pooch".
I'll send the question right back to you...! Is your weight stable? If it is, then your calories are right on the mark. If you feel like you are slowly losing weight, then I'd probably recommend amping it up a little.
I've been,doing ab exercises to tone my stomach. I've been on YouTube trying to find ones for lower abs. I'm doing double of the amount they suggest, but my lower abs are not changing. My upper abs had. What should I do for the lower??
The stabilizing muscles in your abs, upper and lower back, and shoulders work harder than they would in a traditional plank.
Anti-Rotation Crunch
Attach a rope to the low pulley of a cable station and lie on your back alongside the stack. With both hands, hold the rope in front of your chest. Perform a crunch, arms locked, and don't let your torso rotate (even though the cable pulls you sideways). Pause, and return to the starting position. Do 15 reps, switch sides, and repeat.
