Does anyone know of any FREE exercise plans (for weight loss) on the web?

I’m looking for a website with step-by-step fitness/weight loss plans that I can do without access to a gym. Any suggestions would be most appreciated….person who posts the most useful links will get best answer. (Duh)

The following healthy living recommendations will help you if you’re trying to lose weight, tone up your muscles, have aspirations of building lean muscle mass, are attempting to get a wash board stomach, or just want to feel better:

*1) Burn more calories then you’re consuming everyday and measure your results using the following formula: Calories Consumed minus Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) minus Physical Activity. Get a diet and fitness calculator that you can put on your computer or cell phone. This will allow you to easily calculate this formula, set goals, log your daily calorie consumption, and register your physical activities.

*2) Eat natural and organic foods found on earth versus something created by a corporation to make money. Eat meals in small portions throughout the day and take a good multi-vitamin supplement.

Avoid “High Glycemic Load Carbs” (sugar, pastries, desserts, refined starches such as breads, pasta, refined grains like white rice; high starch vegetables such as white potatoes) and drink lots of water.

Do not try fad diets or diet pills. Here is an excellent food pyramid that anyone can follow: http://www.rayandterry.com/html/images/PyramidLRG.gif?osCsid=26a424be471d1337e7c2f105d5c64d9d

*3) Exercise on most days by doing cardiovascular training and/or resistance training activities.

Read a book or find a certified trainer to make sure your doing all resistance training exercises correctly. A great book to buy that teaches you the resistance training basics is “Weight Training for Dummies”. A superb magazine to buy with resistance training routines that will not get you bored is “Muscle and Fitness”. Signup for the free newsletter. An excellent free online resource is at http://www.exrx.net/

A good book to buy that teaches you the cardiovascular training basics is “Fitness for Dummies”.

*4) Get plenty of sleep. Sleep experts say most adults need between seven and nine hours of sleep each night for optimum performance, health, and safety.

*5) Educate yourself continually on health issues and make a life long commitment to good health. A great free publication is “Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2005”. A superb book to read is “You The Owner’s Manual”. An excellent periodic publication is the “Nutrition Action Health Letter”. A reputable test you can take to measure your biological age is at http://realage.com

Look at all areas where you can enhance your health. For example, make improvements in the quality of the air you breathe. Review outdoor air quality forecasts where you live and get an indoor air purifier. Email me if you want a good indoor air purifier recommendation and if you have other questions.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health providers with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.

I NEED A FITNESS PLAN TO LOSE WEIGHT!?

yeah i’m 171cm, 67kg.
can anyone tell me what i should do to lose weight?
(and at the same time gain extra muscles)

It you’re just starting out, swimming will be lower impact than jogging, so I would recommend that. You are going to want to do cardio (not just in the gym–take the stairs or go to the restroom that is farther away, it’s the addition of more movement throughout the day that will add up). In addition, weight lifting will help you build muscle, which in turn burns more calories throughout the day. Make sure you eat breakfast and are drinking enough water, both of which will aid your metabolism and help you gauge your hunger more accurately. good luck!

i could really use help , please!

It sounds like you need some core strengthening / resistance training.

Many girls are afraid that lifting weights will make them bulky - but this isn’t the kind of resistance training I’m talking about. Lifting lighter weights in sets or 12-15 reps burns a boatload of calories - much more than just running or doing calisthenics. The muscle you will build will be lean and fit - not bulky like the bodybuilders that gross everyone out. The best part is that the lean muscle you will build burns tummy fat and tones even when you are not working out!

When you see women with really toned stomachs - they aren’t usually simply very thin. Rather, they have done a lot of core strength training. If you don’t know what that is - look up some examples of these exercises online. They’re everywhere! It involves strengthening your abdominal muscles, but also the muscles deeper in your torso that you’re sometimes completely unaware of. This will tighten up your abs and upper thighs. Yoga is a great way to accomplish this as well.

If you did core strength/resistance training 3-4 times a week - you would get the results you want very quickly.

You’re a little young to begin dieting - you’re probably still growing - and the vitamin imbalances that a diet might cause could have a negative effect on your growth or other aspects of your body - in short, not worth the risk. At least talk to a doctor first.

However, there are some steps you can take to make healthier meal choices. Drink water instead of soda. In fact, drink a lot of water. Most people are dehydrated and don’t even notice. This can cause water retention. Staying very well hydrated can actually trim your waistline.

Don’t try to cut back on calories, but space what you normally eat throughout the day. By eating a reasonably sized breakfast, lunch, afternoon snack, and dinner, you make sure that your metabolism stays high. One of the biggest mistakes people make is skipping meals to lose weight. This can be counter-productive, as it can slow your metabolism to a crawl - causing your body to store what you consume. Keeping a high metabolism will help you tighten up your midsection.

Good luck - don’t obsess - have fun becoming a healthier you!

What’s the difference between all the Men’s Health fitness books?

I just received a book from Men’s Health, “Muscle Logic - Escalating Density Training,” describing an all new way to weight train. However, there are several other books from Men’s Health, such as the MH Hard Body Plan, or MH New High Intensity Training…anyone tried all of these? Which one is the best?

Each book is based on a different theory or idea. They will al work, more or less, depending on how well you follow them, and providing that you don’t over train or push yourself too hard.

Followed by a 1200 calorie diet and 2 litres of water, is this a good fitness plan for losing weight?

Im 17 years old and i was wondering if this is a good weight loss plan to lose about 20 pounds in 3 months?

Yea its seems good here are some other ways to lose weight

Okay the best way to lose weight is to concentrate on 2 main things, this is your diet and your workout.

—Diet—-

You need to get both of them right, now your diet should work like this… you should be eating a meal every 2-3 hours but not a junk food snack/meal. When i say meal i mean something which is healthy ie you might have some pasta with tuna, or a quick banana as a snack. The foods you eat should be COMPLEX carbs ie pasta, brown bread etc etc. You also want to try and get as much fruit + ved in a day. Make sure you have a good amount of protein throughout your meals.

Now you also need to work out your Basal Metabolic Rate, this simply tells you how many calories you burn a day, you need to find out how much your actually eating now its most likely to be in excess if it is you want to TRY and cut down 500 calories and stick to your new total amount. This shouldnt be hard because you will be eating Complex carbs which are just as filling but have a lower calorie count but are better for you than empty calories which are found in simple carbs.

—Workout—

Here are some tips for you

Okay now for your workout what you want to be doing is concentrating on many different types of cardio exercises. These are your jogging,swimming basically anything that makes you sweat and makes your heart pound. If you can join a gym as they have a lot of cardio machines there. Now once you get in to the hang of say jogging, what i mean by this is say you jog 20 mins everyday eventually you will come to a point where your not losing anymore weight this is like hitting a brick wall, this means you need to up the game, start jogging that extra five minutes a day, start taking that one less suagr in your cup of tea.

The most important tip to remember is to vary your cardio routines. Your body gets used to the same cardio routines done over and over. By varying your routine, your body will have to adjust, and thus causes a rise in the metabolic rate, thereby burning calories faster. But how many people do you see walking everyday in your neighborhood, or on the same treadmill or elliptical machine at the gym, and their body never seems to be changing. They do all that work and see no visible results. That is because the conventional wisdom is to get some form of cardio 3-5 days a week at 30 - 60 minutes.

A better alternative is high impact interval training. High impact training could include doing a warm-up of 3-4 minutes on a treadmill, followed by 1 minute at 8 mph, then 1 1/2 minutes at 4 mph, then run 10 mph for 1 minute, then walk at 4 mph for 1 1/2 minutes. You can repeat this 3 or 4 times to get a very effective, and not boring cardio workout.

You can also incorporate running or walking stairs, or do short sprints. The sprints need not be long (20,30, 50 yards), and you rest by walking back to the starting point. These are very effective. Have you ever seen a fat person running the 100 yard dash at the Olympics?

And often overlooked is the jump rope. Do short bursts of jump rope at a brisk pace with some faster paced, or double jumps, or criss crosses mixed in.

By applying these cardio tips on how to burn calories fast, you should be able to jump start your metabolism, and make progress towards your fitness goals

I can guarantee you that you will lose weight i have had to both GAIN and LOSE weight as i was an ex boxer I assure you that this will work, but the most important tip is motivation from YOU!

Best Of Luck
