If I'm going to start working out more, what excersises & how many of them should I do in a days time?

Question

Please let me know every possible excersise I can do in a day's time that wont make me so tired that I can't do anything at all. And this is my last question today.

Answer 1

Krista is full of crap:
"Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. "
BS. Natural juices have sugar also. And there's no proven link between juice and diabetes.
"Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer."
More BS. No proof that drinking water is helpful. All this is good for is making you pee a lot.
"Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart."
WHAT?? This is total crap. There is NO evidence to support this BS. (where does she get this?) Your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients. What an absurd concept.
"You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two [sic] complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. "
More crap and BS. The science behind Gatorade has been going on for 30 years and there's NO evidence of any "need" to dilute it. It works just fine as-is. Again, your body does NOT need extra water to "pick out" nutrients.

Don't take diet advice from uneducated 19 year olds. It's full of myth and folklore, sadly lacking in truth and science.

Answer 2

Be your own trainer and nutritionist, the basic rules to losing weight are no soda, no fast food, lots of chicken, fish, fresh (not canned that’s bad) fruits and vegies, whole wheat stuff, yogurt. Not so many cakes and donuts and cookies. Basic common sense for eating, you just need to enforce it. Get all the bad stuff out of the house right away, just toss it or give it away while your still motivated. No alcohol and no smoking if that applies. Some juice but make sure its all natural, because the ones that aren't are loaded with sugar and a leading cause in diabetes in children and adults. Lots of water, 3-4 liters a day, not all at once, but spread it out. Its really easy to down a liter or two while your watching tv or on the computer. Also drink some after you eat the bigger meals of the day, it helps your body pick out the nutrients in food when your food is more spread apart. You also need to stay away from any sports drinks unless you’ve just had a long workout and then you need to limit yourself. Most atheletes mix Gatorade with water because its two complex for your body to get all the nutrients out of. It needs to be diluted. These rules may be hard to adapt to at first so start with cutting out the things you know you can live without. Then work from there. Remember these are perfect eating habits, it can take you a while to work into it. If you know you can’t live without your one treat a day, don’t fight it by trying to eat something else, just eat it and make sure that’s the only one you cheat on a day. Otherwise you’ll get depressed and quit. Another important point is getting the right amount of sleep every night. You need 8-9 hours of sleep each night for your body to function correctly. This is an important factor of losing weight. Set up a routine for yourself and go to bed at about the same time each night.
As for exercise, lots of cardio. Find something you like. If you have never exercised much before, start with walking 30 minutes a day at a brisk pace. Move on to different terrains that include hills and increase the time spent. After a week or two, try jogging the route. No matter what find an activity you enjoy. Walking to jogging is just an example, try hiking, rollerblading, biking. Once you get into a regular routine, if your not happy with the level of difficulty, try signing up with a gym. Spinning, pilates or kickboxing classes are great. It will also introduce you to working with weights. Talk to a trainer for instruction before using any weights. A cheap investment is a balance ball, it works you stomach while your just sitting on it, like at your computer and its great for posture. There are hundreds of exercises you can use it for for your entire body. I can give you some ideas if you want, just email me.

It's easy... but first.. you start out slow.. Such as.. choose a healthy diet... age depends on how many calories you eat... search it on the web.. and. don't forget.. crash diets are not okay! you have to balance it out.. excercise... 3/4 of what you eat .. and eat a snack after so you don't lose all the energy you need throughout the day.. .okay.. then. excercise. you can go to the gym.. start out with 45 minutes everyday.. then go to an 1 hour.. then 1 1/2 and so on... check everything out at the gym.. but if you can't go to the gym....do sit up at home... do them for about 10 minutes.. not continue every way.. just slowly.. then do more... also. run in place if you can't go outside....run about 30 minutes or less.. or more..then.. do stretches.. and get some basketball or soccer with your friends or family outside.. any activity for 45 minutes or more.. do this for as many weeks as you want.. but.. don't forget..take free bee days so your not let alone with some sweets everyso often... GOOD LUCK! :)

Answer 4

if your a beginner, I would say devote about 30 minutes to an hour doing physical activity, like walking or playing tennis...etc... Then I would suggest lifting 5-8 lb weights. Do about three different arm exercises to use the various muscles, and do about three sets of ten. After than you probably need to do about 30 sit-ups or crunches (whichever is easiest). That should get you started on the right track, and remember get creative in doing exercises because they can get pretty boring. I'll also suggest to look into buying an exercise video- because they are fun and they are easy to understand.

Answer 5

Alternate your cardio with your weights and give your body time to recover in between.
How much you can do depends on the individual. The best way to know would be to engage a personal trainer at least at the beginning to teach you the basics.

Answer 6

You should consult a personal trainer to set you up on a program and show you proper form and technique. I used to alternate between upper body and lower body every other day. I did cardio and abs every day.

Answer 7

Walk.

That's the best exercise unless you have a pool and swimming is the very best and only exercise you would have to do.

Walk twice a day for about 20 to thirty minutes - outside.
