Question

If i jog every morning and do sit ups... will i lose weight in two weeks so that I can see it??? the thing is that i hate running but ill do it if i know it works,but i want some results in two weeks????

Answer 1

ok this is amajor missunderstanding setups DO NOT make u loose weight set ups strengthen ur abdominal muscles and if you have fat over your abdomine doing allot of setups will just push the fats forward and makes you look fatter
loosing weight is by doing a good deit and working out espetially cardoio and aerobics for atleats one hour a day you can do more if you need faster results
note: if you have any health condition you should ask your doctor but for younge healthy ppl sport is always healthy no matter how many hours a day

Answer 2

I've seen results in two weeks but I was doing 2 a days with football wich was alot more than just Jogging and eating right. I damn near died a few times out there. The sit ups are a great way give your abs strength but sit ups don't burn fat or calories that well. I would say play some Pick up Basketball where you are doing sprints up and down the court. What ever you do Sprinting for 30 to 45 minutes on and off is the best way. Then on a separate day jog as an active rest day. When it comes down do it Jogging can't be the toughest thing your doing when trying to lose weight. I go Jogging to relax but when i work out I try to make it real tough.

Answer 3

You did not say how long you would jog for. An hour burns twice the calories as a half hour jog. Many celebrities jog an hour a day to stay thin. If you jog 2 hours every morning I am sure you will see a difference in 2 weeks. But there are easier less time consuming ways to lose weight and faster ones. See this site for more on that.

If someone mentions it will work but does not mention how long, that is total nonsense. If you jog every morning for 1 minute it will not help you lose weight. Even 2 minutes every morning is ridiculous. 3 minutes a day, now you are talking seriously. No that's a joke.

Answer 4

The thing with weight loss is to burn more calories then you consume. Cardio is the way to go for exercise. If you hate running try an elliptical trainer or kick boxing. Billy Blanks Tae Bo is actually pretty good for cardio. Do some weight training. The scale may not budge but you'll notice a difference in the way your clothes fit. Be strong and eat healthy.

Answer 5

If you do those things -- plus do other exercises, as well as eat more healthy food -- you'll probably see some noticeable weight loss in two weeks.

It won't be 10 or 20 pounds or anything, though.

Jogging in the morning is great, as is doing sit ups! Keep doing that, because first thing in the morning (before eating anything) is the BEST time for your body to burn fat.

I do all my cardio in the mornings -- running 4 or 5 miles or rollerblading for 7 or 8.

What about in the evenings? Can you go to a gym? If so, go.

Do both upper and lower body exercises with weights -- but since you're trying to lose weight and not gain it, don't do heavy weights.

Instead, do lighter weights with higher repetitions per set (15-20 reps per set, at least 3 sets per exercise).

Make the weight heavy enough to be challenging, but not so heavy that you're straining real hard to do those last few reps. Remember, you want to tone down and be lean -- not bulk up your muscles, which will lead to weight gain.

Also, when you do weight exercises, MULTI-TASK.

When you finish your first set of bicep curls, for instance, don't stand there doing nothing as you rest before your next set of bicep curls.

Instead, go and do another exercise on a different body part, while your biceps are resting between sets. Go do a leg exercise, or an abs exercise, or something. Go for WORKOUT DENSITY.

For instance, I do a set of bicep curls, then a set of tricep extensions, then a set of 25 to 30 sit ups on the decline sit-up bench. Then I do them all over again, in that order, till I've done four sets of each.

That's what I will do today. (Today is a biceps-triceps-abs day.)

Yesterday I did it in this order: butterflies-pull ups-side crunches; and then chest presses-seated rows-crunches on the Swiss ball. I'll work in some overhead presses (military presses) too. (Yesterday was a chest-back-abs day.)

Other than maybe a fast drink of water between each set, I don't rest between sets -- I don't need to, because I'm exercising one set of muscles while the other two are resting and waiting their turn.

Doing your weight training this way -- while keeping the weights lighter and going for high numbers of reps between sets -- will add to the body-leaning and fat-burning that you're doing by jogging in the morning. It will also get you out of the gym faster!

And you'll get a better workout than those muscle-heads who heave a bunch of weights on the bench-press, and then stand there doing nothing (or chatting) for 3 or 4 minutes before they get on the bench again.

Good luck and feel free to PM me anytime ...

Answer 6

I have read a lot of the answers befor mine, and I note one glaring omission.

Of course, you will get results, but one has to ask, what results do you WANT to see?

You will see a slight improvement in muscle tone. You might see a loss of weight, but that depents on what and how you eat. Will you see a difference in dress size? Will you look into the mirror and see a huge difference in the tow weeks? Like all the other answers indicate: It depends.

Answer 7

One other thing to remember is that you have to set realistic goals for yourself. We have a tendency to wreck our own programs: hit the ground running expecting quick results and don't take the actual taks into consderation. Then the momentum slips and next thing you know, you're back at square one, disappointed and unmotivated because you'll feel as if you've failed.
Start off slow. You don't want to sabotage your progress. If you hate running, don't run. Start by walking and build on that. Once you have you endurance up - try blading, or biking. If you hate crunches (like I do), try a dance class that focuses on the core - like belly dancing or salsa. You have to look at this as a lifestyle change as opposed to a quick fix so it's good to do something that you'll at least enjoy.

Answer 8

A general rule is that you can see results after 6 weeks no matter what kind of workout program or exercise you are using. Two weeks just isn't enough. I think you need to remember that you didn't get out of shape in just two weeks and you won't get back in shape that fast either.

Answer 9

Maybe if you Jog and diet you will see results, but that depends on what kind of results you are looking for. Its not gonna be any drastic changes. But people might tell you that you look like you lost weight.

Answer 10

it depends on how overweight you are and how active you are normally but in most cases your not gonna loose enough to notice. you may hate running but it will give you the results that you need. you can also try weight training. low weight high reps wont build bulky muscle it is good toning. it works in 2 ways. if you build muscle mass it will shape your body how you want it to look. the more muscle you have the more calories you burn
