Ok I'm on my brother's yahoo so this is a girl asking this.
I was wondering if I eat less calories do 300 situps a day and 100 pushups a day I was wondering if I would lose weight and tone up? Oh and jump rope 20 minutes a day too.

I've done 300 situps before. I just didn't stick to it. I know I will now.

YES!!!!! It would keep you fit like hell!!!! and toner, too!!!! I don't know if you could stick to this, though. Just trust yourself and maybe run. Running will keep you fit. and the jump roping 20 freaking minutes!!!!! I could never do that!!!! I could run, but not jump rope. I suck at it.
May God be with you! Or good luck, or anything like that lol.

technicaly no, your body has to be exerting for 20min. before you even start burning fat. Your situps and pushups sound good, but nothing will get you the gain/effort porportions that weights give.
Having said that after a few weeks you will notice a difference, I'm just saying you could get more gain for the same ammount of work/effort at a gym if you changed up your exercises.
Also remember that fast twitch or large muscle fibers give greater deffinition and are built with high weight-low rep workouts. Slow twitch fibers go for longer periods of time and therefore are built through low weight high rep training (like pushups and situps) but these build smaller and less defined muscles.

i really dont think 300 sit ups can be done if u r just starting to work out. also 100 pushups is to much. start at 10 push ups and 35 sit ups and work ur way up. and start at 5 min of jump rope.
