One of the most effective exercises to lose weight is jogging! Jogging burns more calories than almost all other forms of cardio exercise. Since the formula for weight loss is burning more calories than you consume, jogging can be the ticket. You can lose weight by jogging for 20-minute sessions with a workout plan.
Track and record your weight each week to see your progress. Losing 1 to 2 lbs. per week is recognized as being a healthy, sustainable rate of weight loss.
I walk, briskly, 5-6 miles/day and am not losing either, though my jeans are loser (building muscle); my doctor says I need to add in weight training, which burns fat much more quickly than aerobics, such as walking/jogging. I'll be switching back to my yoga in a couple of weeks, so we'll see how things go.
A good dietary regime and exercises all will be helpful in losing weight. Losing weight in a healthy way is important for maintaining the glow of your skin. Eat lots of fruits, dark green leafy vegetables, fruits and consume less of potato, sweetened and processed foods. Start your day by drinking lemon juice in warm water. Have fruits with lots of vitamin C in breakfast that will help you cut fats as vitamin C is a fat burner. Exercise daily for 30-40 minutes like walking or aerobic exercise.
Do some jogging it'll burn the fat in your belly.

I've jogged since I was 12 and it always worked, however now my weight increased by 10 lbs in 8 months,..... I eat a very balanced diet lots of fruits nuts and meat and fish and chicken,.. I dont know if I should add some other type of exercise like Tie Bo,.. .something for variety,.... any suggestions?
Losing 5 pounds in month is a realistic and healthy way of losing weight. A good dietary regime and exercise will help you in achieving your goal. Drink lots of water every day. Drinking water helps you feel full and also flushes out fluid from your kidneys, which may reduce bloating. Avoid eating salty fast foods, candies and cut down on at least 500 calories per day. Avoid intake of hidden calories in salad dressings, cheese, butter etc.
First if your body is not getting enough foods it can easily go into starvation mode and decide to hold or even gain weight. 1200 calories seems very low, especially given how much you exercise. So maybe you should keep your food around 1300 at minimum? It's hard to know the "sweet" spot that will keep your body healthy while loosing weight, but if you don't find it you will have a really hard time loosing weight.
Most experts recommend 30-60 minutes of aerobic exercise three or four days a week, along with two or three days of weight-bearing, resistance exercise (such as weight lifting). This is sufficient to achieve satisfying results. You can exercise daily or on alternate days, depending on the availability of time.
Walking is one of the simplest aerobic exercises. You can vary the intensity to match your fitness level.
NOT a diet, it's been proven to be bad for weight loss. excercise is good though, just gentle stuff, start with walking, jogging, swimming's good to. or take up a hobbie, like a sport. tennis and yoga i find fun. also, i've read that the way you eat (not a diet) can make a huge difference too. 1) drink more, when you're hungry, just drink and it makes you feel fuller. 2) only eat when you're hungry (but don't starve yourself).
If you are aiming at losing weight, it is important to calculate your current BMI and the target BMI. The target BMI should be in a healthy range. Aside indulging in moderate amounts of physical exercise it is also essential to maintain a healthy diet plan. It is important to know that a diet plan is not about cutting down calories; it’s about ‘healthy’ eating. With cutting on diet one may initially lose weight but this may remain static or increase later.
If you are trying to lose weight a good dietary regime and exercises all will be helpful in losing weight. Fats should be less than 25%, Carbs should be around 40-60 percent. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, clear soups, and fruits. Drink lots of water every day. Drinking water helps you feel full and also flushes out fluid from your kidneys, which may reduce bloating. Indulge in brisk walking or jogging. This will help in burning calories faster.
Over the past two months I have been walking, jogging and all other types of exercise’s and haven’t been eating as much and avoiding things like bread but gained weight instead of losing it. I’ve always been fit I skateboard, ride bikes, walk at least 2 km’s a day and I’m still gaining weight, my mother and two sisters are also over weight, my mum can’t loose weight where as my sisters can so is it genetic? If someone has any idea’s please write back.
I have a question and hope someone can help -- I am generally fit and in good health (by no means skinny). I use to jog daily. I stick to a low carb (lean protein/vegetables) diet. I am 5'7 and usually flex between 135-139 pounds. I recently started an intense cardio kickboxing class which I LOVE. I go 3-4 times per week. Its an hour long class and it is super intense and works me out unbelievably. Ive been going for about 5 weeks now.
