Cardio 4 - 5 times per week for 30 minutes to an hour..
Lunges and squats, whatever you can do! It's gonna hurt the first week, but very worth the pain! Try at least 3 sets, 3 times per week right after cardio!

lunges are best for the rear and for the legs. i do the left leg 5 times, then the right leg 5 times. repeat 10 times and take an asprin and a glass of water. do every other day. i also play soccer with the kids and do arm lifts with soup cans. i am in good shape. but not bulky. to step up the process you can go up & down the stairs for 10 min every other day. i only have 3 porch steps and they work fine. cheaper than buying a stepper.

Sqauts infact burn energy, and build muscle interior the quadz, glutes, and decrease back (in all risk greater too). that is greater easy for them to be the mainstead of an entire physique, being legs are maximum used, and the main effective exterior muscle may be the quad (do no longer count quantity the tounge). So it incredibly is a marvelous issues to do. Squats are a private famous.

When we lose weight, there is no way to specifically burn fat from one part of the body. Doing situps won't burn the fat that is covering your abs and doing tricep extensions won't get rid of the fat that is covering your triceps. The only thing you can do is lose weight all around and eventually the problem area will also improve.

Lunges work great do three sets of ten to start then work your way up.
