I have been trying to lose weight?

Question

I only eat small healthy meals and I drink alot of water. What kind of excersizes can I do besides running especially to get rid of lower belly fat?

Answer 1

I have had four pregnancies and the most recent was 3 years ago. I have been trying to lose weight as well and thus far have lost 23 lbs (took about 4 months so far). I kind of follow the "body for Life" program. basically, you alternate workouts.... one day you do aerobics, next day use weights for upper body, next day aerobics, next lower body workout with weights, etc. in order to lose weight (regardless of where your trouble spot is) you have to do aerobic exercise. I alternate my aerobic workout. One day I do a fast paced walk, next day walk up hill, next day run and start all over again. You CAN walk and still lose weight. You can do crunches or sit ups, but you are building muscle underneath fat that needs to go away inorder to show off your muscles that are developing underneath the weight you are losing.
I also eat 6 meals a day. I have breakfast (for example, egg beaters and turkey bacon), a small mid-morning snack (like an apple or Special K cereal bar), lunch (something like a can of solid tuna in water) afternoon snack (similiar to mid morning snack) dinner(small chicken breast, brown rice and veggie) and a small evening snack. I drink alot of water and plain coffee.
It's awesome that you are working out and trying to lose weight. Don't give up and remember any form of aerobic exercise is great! And don't rely on the scale to see if you are losing weight. use your clothes and how they fit.

Answer 2

Hi
Good for you that you have a programme ,this one helped me so here goes,
If you are serious about losing weight, the calories in the food you eat should be less than the energy you use. You will have to increase your metabolic rate now, and plan your diet carefully.
Formulate your own weight loss plan and you will lose weight faster. More details available at http://tinyurl.com/m7ckx

weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.


* Be in right frame of mind
Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food
Top weight loss tips
Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit
Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water
Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food
Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals
Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal
Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating
Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity
Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

Answer 5

Run, Swim, Jog, burn calories. Make sure you know how many calories you take in, and how many you burn.

10x body weight = primary amount of calories to burn
you burn 200calories (normally) in cardiovascular workouts
eat 200-250 calorie meals, 5x a day that will help reduce the size of your belly.

if your body fat is above 10% you won't see muscular signs, if you are a body builder this doesnt pertain to you.

Answer 6

It is possible that you will not get rid of "lower belly fat". Many women try and try to get rid of the "paunch" we have just above our pelvic bone, but to no avail. The nature of a womans' body is sometimes just meant to have the paunch. But if you're looking for something to try, crunches, sit-ups or even inclined crunches will help.

Good luck!

Answer 7

Answer 8

Sit ups

Answer 9

Why are you avoiding running? Start slowly, I promise you'll love it. I have and do. It's great at getting your metabolism up and you'll love seeing your progress.

Also, I loved step aerobics. It's good for getting you going!

Answer 10

crunches alone aren't going to work...as YOU CAN'T TURN FAT INTO MUSCLE its like having oranges and hoping they'll turn into apples.........its just not gonna happen.....doing an ab exercise will just add muscle under the fat

try upping the cardio....or just doing something you like


PS you will probably find that lower ab fat is the hardest to get rid of so don't be too disapointed if it takes awhile
