| Post subject: | Going to lose the last 15 pounds |
I have been losing about a pound a week by changing my diet but I'm going to get the last 15 pounds off by sprinting the rest of the way. Starting tomorrow I'm hitting the grounds running and going to want to kill my self. I'm going to work out an hour everyday until Christmas. |

You were doing so good dont fuck it up now!Common thinking errors about fitness http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ufSYBcZa0 Why cardio dosent work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiHhc7eLpQY Just keep cutting calories (i hope you were counting your calories). Start resistance training ramp up the intensity. |

Yup low calorie and high protein and a good amount of healthy fats is what works best for me. I plan on doing 4 miles on the aerobic bike and basic resistance training everyday and then lift 3 days a week. |

And when you finally get to Christmas, don't stop there. You don't want to put those 15 pounds back on. I would suggest changing up your routine, add more cardio, or make your diet even better. There's never a time when a physique can't be improved. |

If you really want to get rid of that weight quickly, you should try out high intensity interval training (HIIT) rather than straight up cardio. It'll get your metabolism raging. |

I have been losing about 10# per month... Here is my diet/routine: Diet: 1. limited my meat consumption to not more than three days a week. 2. stick to a 1500 Calorie per day rule but you are allowed ONE splurge day when you can eat as much as you want. 3. Walk one mile in the morning and one mile in the evening...try to walk as much as you can. Walk during lunch as much as you can. 4. while sitting down at your desk, suck in your stomach (without breathing in), this tones your stomach muscles. 5. stick to whatever you are doing at the gym... 6. If you are not going to the gym, then start going..do at least 30 minutes aerobic workout (biking, running, etc.) and 30-45 minutes of weight training. 7. On days you cannot be in the gym too long, focus on complex excercises (excercises that work on multiple muscles groups at one time, squats, pull ups, rows, etc.) 8. Drink not more than ONE beer per day (except for your splurge day) 9. Stay away from ANY fast food. 10. Eat SPAM for breakfast 11. Eat 4 small meals throughout the day 12. Sodas are you enemy so stay away from ANY drinks that contain sugar in them, even diets sodas are bad for you. Good Luck and keep up posted on your results...you WILL lose weight if you follow the plan above. Best, J-Dub |

If you want to lose fat, DONT just do cardio!!!!!!!! Why? Well here's why: First off, let me explain 3 energy systems in your body real quick. You got the Anaerobic a-lactic system. This system is active for about 20seconds total, and uses ATP and CP as fuel. (these are within the muscles already). Then you got the anaerobic lactic system. This system is active from 20seconds to 2minutes. It uses some glucose as fuel but not much. Then there's the aerobic system. This system takes over after 2minutes and goes on till you drop dead (or just stop exercising Alright, now you know that it's pretty simple to conclude why cardio sucks for burning fat. Yes, you're right. You'll only start to burn fat after 45-60minutes of workout! So the first 45-60minutes are wasted! Ok, so now you're thinking: working out for less then 45-60minutes is just useless. Well, actually it isn't. Just don't do cardio. Go do weight lifting! Weight lifting increases your muscles, and the bigger your muscles the more fuel they need. The bigger the car, the more fuel it needs per km / mile). Sure, you won't be burning any fat when you're doing the workout. As most workouts are about an hour long and you still use glucose. BUT, because you're muscles will grow you will be using more fuel everytime of the day. Even when sleeping. and a side effect: bigger muscles will tone your body. Though you don't have to become a body builder. Not at all. Just a musculair guy like Brad Pitt or something. The basics of losing fat is really easy. Just burn more calories then you eat. When you go and do a workout, you will burn more calories. Here comes the hard part: When you do workouts, you will be more hungry as your bordy needs to compensate those lost calories. So most of the time you will start to eat more. That's not a big deal, just keep the calories LOWER then what you're burning. If your body gets less calories then it needs, it'll go for the fat (stored fuel). And thus you're losing fat. Just one more thing I wanted to state, specially when you're doing weight lifting. What's heavier? A pound of iron, or a pound of feathers? Indeed, they both are a pound. BUT which one has a bigger size? Indeed, the feathers. Now the same goes for fat and muscles. In the metaphore stated above the iron are the muscles and the feathers are the fat. So when you're doing weight lifting, you will lose fat but create bigger muscles. So you're weight will stay the same (or even go up) while youre body gets thinner and get a better, healthier and musculair shape. Isn't that what we want? Look at waist inches, cloth sizes and bodyfat% instead of pounds/kilo's!! To increase your calorie burning rate, you can do some cardio at the end of the weight lifting. As you have run out of glucose with the weights, you now start using fat while doing cardio. So that way you'll lose the fat even faster. A workout I usually give to people: 10min cardio as warming-up legs - 1 exercise shoulders - 1 exercise back - 1 exercise pectorals - 1 exercise abdominals - 1 exercise 15min cardio cooling down. You could add like 30minutes of cardio before the cooling down, but I don't think it's needed. Depending on your goal, you need to adjust the sets and reps for each exercise. Ask your local gym about that. Well, a big wall of text but I hope it'll help you guys. Cheers, NAB |
