So yea i made a thread like this before and everyone was saying that i should do cardio. So currently i want to lose weight but its hard so im cutting down on food and im trying to excersize but i dont know wat to do. For example the only access i have is a bench and a stepper. So i want to lose 30 pounds and yes im going to join a sport( soccer and track). And could u explain to me as what cardio i should be doing. but the only problem is that i live in new jersey and currently it is snowing like crazy. So jogging, running, walking is kind of hard to do since it is snowing. So do u have any tips for any affective work outs. And could u give me tips for the fastest way to lose fat and gain muscle. O and another question: how do u lose belly fat? Fast! alright thanks

You can use the stepper as cardio, as long as you're pumping your blood. Weight training helps you gain muscle and tone. You can't directly lose belly fat by just targeting that area, you lose it by doing a combination of things.

Your body takes 30 minutes in average to burn the glucose (fast source of energy), after that whatever you start to do will start burning your fat. Obviosly if you want a determined part to lose fat, you have to focus there (Altough you should do a complete excecise if you are starting recently, it's more effective than focused work). For your belly, fast and short sit-ups will make it (the long ones are to tone up your muscles, not to burn fat efficiently)

[quote] realmadrid21 : just lower your calorie intake [/quote] This. Exercising does burn fat and burns calories, but if you just lower your calorie intake, you will lose weight. Not as fast, but it's a good start. Find some low calorie foods, and drink plenty of water. Ex. 70 Calorie cup soups. Drink two per meal and you will only intake approx. 420 calories a day, if you drink water.

Lower your caloric intake Eating less is an easy way to lose weight; figure out how many calories you're supposed to take in and try to take in around 400 calories less. (Any less can be unhealthy and have reverse effects) And, of course, do cardio. Do NOT do the same forms of cardio over and over without any change as time passes; or you'll eventually get used to it and will not be losing weight. And, specific exercises for certain body parts (abdominals for example) do NOT make you lose weight faster anywhere, they just develop muscle in that specific place.

[quote] SixxAM : alright but what kind of cardio [/quote] Swimming, running, hiking, sprinting, you can even briskly walk if anything. Anything that makes you sweat and your heart start pumping. And remember, if you don't change your diet and only exercise, you're really only cheating yourself. @Bankai You're seriously confused if you think that not eating anything else besides fruits for the entire day will leave you good.

Look,from a guy who lost about 40 Kgs,and has been working out for the past 5 years,here's my advice: The most important thing in losing weight,is not what type of cardo excersie you do or how fast you run,the most important thing is to CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE. When I used to be fat my life revovled around food,even when it was "Don't eat that Asaf,it's not good for you" I was actually bond to food in an opposite way. You have to get it through your thick skull: from now on,it's a different you. Adopt spot that you like (I personally found Tennis appealing,and I still play today),eat EVERYTHING you want,but eat little amounts of it,go out more,take your MP3 and go out for a long walk with a friend,go to the gym with your friends (friendly competition is extreamly stimulating!),hang out at the beach or the swimming pool,just do anything that somehow involves being active. Do it on a daily basis,and learn to enjoy it. At first it is going to be difficult,I'm not gonna lie,you will be exhusted and at times even frustrated,but you have to keep believing and seeing the new sexier you,and you know what? give it a month,give it 2 months,eventually your'e going to be so much happier! Activities are FUN! this life style is amazing,I can't even describe how it affected me personally. Many people that struggle with weight issues come to me and ask "Asaf,how did you do that? I can't get 5Kgs off me,what's your secret?" The secret is CHANGING YOUR LIFESTYLE. It's the most important tip I can ever give you,and I wish you the very best luck in the world! One final small tip,don't let anyone oppress you! The hardest thought in the world is when others convience you that you can't do it,dont ever buy their BS! You can,and you deserve it!
