Best way to exercise to lose weight?

[OrangeSoul]

Whats the way to exercise to lose weight. a good fitness center is a long way from my house and i dont have access to a car right now. I walk atleast 1 hour briskly every day and eat breakfast (1 plate) and dinner (1 plate) , no soda and lots of water. what other exercise regime can i go through for permenant weight loss besides walking briskly atleast 1 hour a day. I cannot jog because of a inherent genetic problem of knee problem after jogging everyday so any other solution?

i was going to say circuit training, but that would be pretty hard without the gym..

[wez312]

I would say running or jogging but since thats out...Any aerobic activity, biking maybe?

First, I used to do pushups and crunches at home. But then I got a set of dumbbells and I use those to build up my upperbody (the more muscle you have, the more it burns calories/fats).

No trainer, one exercise=swimming. Very good exercise for the whole body and low-impact on the joints.

Or anything aerobic.

I can se u have a problem wit ur knee, but how well with biking work for u? if u hav no problem go ahead n bike its a real good alternative to jogging/running.

- Biking (MAINLY)

- Walking

- Crunches

- Sit-Ups

- Push-Ups

dont do alot all of a sudden start by lil n slowly progress ur way.

... once u hav lost the weight, a good idea after that would be to start weight lifting... then u wont have problems and u wont keep gaining weight, turn it all into musicle :p i lift weights alot, and it hasnt bought nothing but good to me... and once u pass the weight lifting thing and want something more... go for karate or Muay Thai like i did. so im pretty fit.

If you can, you may want to get rid of the traditional meal plan.

A regimen of 5-6 "mini-meals/snacks" (relative to activity) a day promotes a faster metabolism.

Otherwise, since you only eat at the beginning of the day, and the end. Your body may try to conserve instead of use.

I lost 2? stone with a rowing machine, which took about 5-6 weeks. By rowing for 45 minutes each day and cutting my calorie intake to about 1000-1500 I was able to lose weight very quickly (I've haven't rowed for a year and the weight hasn't come back). With reasonably paced rowing after 20-30 minutes you have used all your blood sugar, meaning that you are then just burning fat.

I don't know if you can because of your knee injury (should be okay because there isn't any impact) but it is the only effective way I have found to lose weight permanently and it was easy to motivate myself to keep it up.

body weight exercises....

basically you dont need to use any equipment...just do 3 set of 12 pushups every day ...along with 4 sets of 20 situps

do this every day for a week - if this is too easy or too hard decrease or increase the repetitions in each set...

after the 1st week....increase the repetitions...after the 2nd week increase number of sets

basically you know your doing something when you break a sweat and you feel it..otherwise your not doing enough...

you must have a working bicycling around the house to ride im sure?id says its one the best low impact ways to lose weight by cardio.but im not sure if your knee problems will get irritated.

If you want to lose weight you have to be active. You need to do cardiovascular workouts. Never mind the weights. You need to do swimming or biking exercises. Also if you want to quickly shed a few pounds, wear a garbage bag while biking. You will sweat like a pig and lose weight fast. Being active and eating right is the only way to lose weight.

play lots of DDR, thats fun plus you lose alot of weight.

i stopped drinking cokes, now all i drink is like kool-aid or lemonade or somethin like that, and eat subway alot, and i started playing DDR and ive lost around 15 pounds in a couple months...

I weighed 170lbs 1 month ago, and since I've been biking alot I lost 20 lbs. I don't eat much, but when I do I don't put on weight anymore.

Fasting and long walks ;)

Hey, I used to weight 11.5 stone, I now weight 9.25stone. This is all mainly thanks to eathing healthily and doing the following routing.

15 crunches (so much more effective than situps)

15 leg ups (you life your legs up without moving the rest of your body, basically reverse situps)

then i get out the weights, using the 4.5kg weights

15 reps of lying on my back and pushing them up into the air and lowering them slowly (slow = more effective as it strains the muscles mroe)

15 reps of just weight lifts

then using the 2.8kg weights

15 reps of lifting the weights from down by my side to outstreched

15 reps of having them by my shoulders and pushing them above my head

then 15 pressups, holding at top and bottom for 3 seconds.

I do this one-two times a day, depending if I've been to work or not. Sorry for not knowing the proper names, never bothered to learn them hehe. I think this works pretty well to lose some weight, then get toned up. Otherwise find transport to that gym hehe :p

Skip cardio completely.

Focus on increasing muscle mass.

You'll burn more calories throughout the day with more muscle mass, than you would during the 30min Taebo session (or whatever's hip these days.)

Believe it or not, you still get a great cardiovascular workout when working with weights alone. Keep rest intervals short, lift till exhaustion, rinse + repeat.

Trial a cardio-free workout for a month, and then come to your own conclusions. Bear in mind that weights will improve your physique, prevent muscular dystrophy, and will earn you a few extra points with members of the opposite sex.

I always thought they were the same thing? what's the difference?

[leesmithg]

Only way without causing severe joint problems for the fatties amongst us is Swimming, uses evey muscle in the body.

Aerobics causes problems on the knees if you're a chubby.

A muscle stimulation kit like T.E.N.S. is a good idea also.

I saw 1 plate off and 1 bowl of, how about eating lots of fruit n veg and keeping your calories = to what a typical person needs, it's like 'how long is a piece of string'?; same as 'how big is a plate'?
