Home work out for weight loss.

[federer_nadal]

The tennis season in my town has come to an end and our aussie rules football season is starting, this means training 2 nights a week, pretty much running hard for an hour. I am somewhat overweight and i want to get in to shape for football and tennis, mainly tennis. I have lost 15 kilo in the last 2-3 months but as tennis is finishing (no one plays through the winter here!!!!!) i want to know what is the best way to lose weight in the home. What are some things to do? Skip? Anything, i tried searching but i could not find anything. Thankyou guys.

wow!, 15 kg in 2-3 months seems to be a lot to me, but if you feel good I guess its OK. Cardio is the best way to lose weight, and I would say that eating right would be just as important. (6 small meals per day would be great)
Considering you will keep up with your 2 running days rutine (or 3 if you can squeeze another one per week), you can try to do some weigh-lifting at home (maybe the 2 or 3 days you dont run) so you have a full ealthy week.

the age old sayign about "calories in verses calories out" In other workds, watch what you eat and do some excersise. What about running?

Skipping is awesome for fitness and losing weight. A zillion boxers can't be wrong!!

Stop eating junk food.

One of the easiest ways to lose some weight is to stop drinking your calories (eg sugary sodas, etc).

Go jog a couple miles every couple days (best if its everyday). Watch your diet; have a nice big breakfast (make sure you have some protein and some fruit), a medium lunch, and a light supper.

I know the long distance track team at my school does 7 miles a day and my friend on it eats so much food (he's eating every period) and is almost underweight. So yeah, running does a lot.

Here's a (relatively) easy way to help with burning calories.

Do you have any particular TV shows that you watch regularly that don't require a huge amount of thought? Usually do you sit down? Occasionally scoff some junk food or nibbles?

Get a decent exercise bike and cycle through the show. A lot of my patients have used it over the years when they watch the soap operas such as Coronation Street (misery in Manchester), Eastenders (misery in London), Emmerdale (misery in Yorkshire ... I think you get the idea about popular British TV?)

If you're going to sit down anyway, make the most of it for 30 mins a couple of times each week and lose a few pounds.

I thought of that but mum decided to hire a rowing machine instead but i couldnt do it while we had it due to a pulled abdominal muscle. I shall talk to the olds about getting an exercise bike up here. thanks/

If you can do decent technique, you would find the rower a better exercise. It's harder work as you will end up using 60% of your muscles (cycling is about 35-40%) and don't think that you need to set it to a really tough setting - even a light resistance setting that you do for some time is great as pulling really hard is not necessarily any real benefit unless you intend to row on open water. If you added some press ups and and a few ab exercises, pretty much your whole body then has a work out.

But for simpler benefits (especially if you are less than enthusiastic on some days!) the bike is easier on the mind!

Good luck!

cardio in the morning in an empty stomach. (you can drink water) after that you must wait at least an hour before you have your break fast.

Let me first of all declare WHAT A BUNCH OF NON-SENSE CRAP most of you guys posted here.
Don't tell me you all believe that weight lifting in earlier years can harm your height development? Haha.

My point is: Don't speak of what you don't know. You don't need to run 50 miles each day and eat 50 grams of beans, that what you DON'T want to do!

In the bottom part of weight gain/loss:
-To gain weight, you must eat more calories than you are spending.
-To lose weight, you must eat less calories than you are spending.



So a couple of pointers: A morning cardio (fatburning session) on an empty stomach, preferrably a protein shake of 20-30 quality proteins and some water would do a perfect pro-workout meal. You should run for about 30-60 minutes at 40-70% of your maximum heart rate.


During any given day should you eat 6 meals, try not to combine fat, carbohydrates and proteines. (That you should "NEVER" do, try doing it to the extend you're able with your knowledge and capabilities) You should eat LESS of carbohydrates than you regulary do.

Your main objective is to eat less than you burn, so you can lose about 1 kg each week. This is because you want to lose fat, and not muscles. How much you should eat you will figure out when the days passes. You can also up the cardio, like adding another day with cardio, or an extra 10 minutes (examples).

If you want to get even more out of it, you should add an EATING day at the end of each week where you eat LOADS of carbohydrates, which you haven't done the past days. Why? Well, let's not try to explain that. Let's just say you need to refill your liptids so your body doesn't go into a SAVING state. (It automatically assume that you don't have any food to feed it with for the coming times, so it holds on to what you got already!)


I hope this helped you, just follow this and you may burn fat like a razor cuts hair :)

Warneck -- do you subscribe to John Berardi's work? Just wondering . . .

Skip? Anything, i tried searching but i could not find anything.

Yeah, jump rope is very, very effective. 120 revolutions/min = 720 cal/hr burn rate for 150lbs person. Also trains you to stay on your toes and has a nice side effect in conditioning your rotator cuff for tennis.

Finally, jump rope (once you're well coordinated), lets you do true HIIT programs.

If I do subscribe to his work? Well - I have read some of his work, like many others. Does this mean that post would be just like some of him? Well no, I have used those advices long before I read anything of him.

Were I talking about principals? Yes.
Is this science of NASA? No.
