Answer 1

Here is what you need to do, if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off. Eat 6 small meals a day about every 4 hours. Here what that will do for you, your metabolism will increase (i.e. Loose weight) and you will have more engry. If you go on a diet and eat less, your metabolism will slow down and store to fat. That is why diets dont work. Only the size of your fist, carbs (examples:baked potato, pasta, oatmeal, beans, corn, melon, apples, fat free yogurt, whole wheat breads)in one and protien (examples:chicken breast, swordfish, shrimp, turkey breast) in the other. You can also eat vegetables and salads with any meal, they dont have none or little fat). 30min cardo exercise every day. Any of these(examples: walking, jogging, swimming,running, biking, ect), Monday cardo, tues upper body (arms: curls, tricep extensions,pull ups, front press)(abdominals: leg pull crunch, leg raises), (chest: bench press, butterfly, pullover)(shoulders: front press, arm pullover, cross county skier machine)(back:seated row, lat pull downs, back extension)(YOU DONT HAVE TO DO IN ONE DAY, mix it up) wed cardo, thurs lower body (legs: leg pull,leg press, squats, lounges) fri cardo, sat upper. Sunday eat anything you want and dont exercising, you do this on sunday so your body doesnt go into starvation mode. YOU NEED TO TAKE SUNDAY OFF. If you stilck with this you will have a great body. also drink aleast 8oz of water daily! Stay away from Mcdonals, Wendys, ect because there is nothing good for you on the menu's even the salads are bad (beaon bits, cheeze, dressing, ect) Good Luck :)

Answer 2

You can tone, with bench dips (no weights), Kick backs, Overhead press, lateral raises front and side and even overhead. start with 3 sets of 12 to 15, then when you can do 15 easily add weight. mix it up, do high reps up to 20 and then increase weight and do less reps. It is just a different way to break down the muscle tissue.

Muscles get use to the same thing, look in a fitness magazine for more tips. Getting toned takes time, be patient, don't expect a quick fix!

Answer 3

Toming is lighter weight, more reps. I would recommend a chest fly (bringing the weights together in front of your chest), an above arm lift, a bicep curl from your knees, and a tricep curl behind you. You'll need to devote a couple of weeks to a steady rhythm. good luck!
