Answer 1

sit-ups and push-ups are good but not good enough.. everyone thinks that lifting weight will get you into shape.. first off do you want to be skinny?? or do you want to be in shape? cuz for muscles you want to gain weight and lift weight. for getting skinny watch wut you eat and CARDIO! run run run. thats the only way to burn fat.. you NEED to get ur heart rate up. sit-ups and push-ups alone are not enough to get you skinny. and as far as the water goes.. water is good. everyday drink half of your body weight in ounces EX. 180lbs=90oz.

don't drink half your weight in ounces if you are extremely obese. there is such a thing as water intoxication.. and it can kill you.

Changing your nutrition and exercise is the only safe and sure way to get fit and healthy.

With regards to nutrition:
- I drink a 3 litres of water a day to flush out toxins and replenish all of my organs (more while exercising)
- I eat heaps of fruit and veges (high in vitamins and antioxidants)
- I don't drink alcohol, or smoke
- I stopped having coffee, soft drinks, fast foods, fatty foods and foods high in bad carbs
- I eat foods that are high in omega 3 fatty acids (i.e LSA, tinned fish, etc)
- I try to eat 5-6 small meals daily

Exercise is important, but without a balanced diet it just won't work. So my fitness goals are:
- Walking briskly everywhere I go throughout the day and I try and increase my normal daily activity
- I do about 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercises every second day
- Remember to stretch muscles before and after exercise and hydrate constantly (plain water)
- Every second day (instead of plain cardiovascular workouts) I do cardio + resistance training for an hour using Jillian Michael's DVDs (The hardcore chick from "The Biggest Loser")

I find that crunches and reverse crunches are more effective than sit ups and that push ups are great. They definitely have their place. Try and do 20 push ups then 50 crunches or reverse crunches every second night. See how you go.

Anything similar to this will make you more fit, healthier, happier and you'll lose that extra fat that is getting you down. Don't think of it as a diet. It's a lifestyle change and its all about self control and taking care of yourself!

You might want to try to go on a all fruits diet. Push up tones your arm muscles, sit ups tones your stomach muscles. Try jogging every morning or every night. I hope it helps =) But you gotta control your intake too.
