Re: Help me lose weight yo
Exercise routine for a busy person (and you can do this in a small space):
The circuit is as follows;
Set stopwatch: 20 minutes
3 days a week + (recommended first thing in the morning to get metabolism really going, but any available time is fine)
1. 20 jumping jacks
2. 30 jumps with imaginary jump rope (or a real one if you have it)
3. 30 mountain climbers
4. 60 punch combinations that utilize straight punches, cross punches, and the knee (no need for a punching bag)
5. 10 squat thrusts
6. Rest 30 seconds, repeat
Most people I know really don't have time to get to the gym, so they simply work out right on the floor/carpet - no equipment, and it works.
As for diet, everything I've read leads to the conclusion that you HAVE to figure out how many calories you're getting a day and then cutting about 500 on average. But MY opinion is that you just have to consciously eat a little less (healthier also helps..).
I remember thinking when I first went to college that'd I'd be sure to gain weight like a lot of people do, but I lost weight. The reason wasn't that I was more active - food just wasn't something that occupied my time. Somehow I managed to eat just 2 meals a day, NO stacks between (wouldn't necessarily recommend it especially with a good exercise routine).
Frequent, tiny meals seem the way to go for real results. But weight loss is all psychological. My advice is to simply keep food out of your mind. Eat when you're hungry, but set a limit to how many times you eat, and again - eat only very small meals.
