How much should I work out to lose 20 lbs?!


Question:

How much should I work out to lose 20 lbs?

I'm only 15 years old and I want to lose 20 lbs safely by doing cardio exercises at the gym. How long and at what intensity level should I do it. And also how long should it take if I'm 210 lbs now and I am going for 190 lbs.


Answers:

Eating healthy and excersing go hand in hand. On a diet make sure you eat fresh fruit and vegetables (especially the dark green ones), lean meats, low fat dairy, and whole grains whole. They are not only good for you, but they help curb your appetite. Try to exercise at least 45-60 minutes a day, and as long as your consistently active during that time, its okay to mix it up between running/walking/swimming/or other sports, however cardio is the best in losing weight. To lose 20 pounds, it would probably take about 10 weeks, seeing how it is safe to lose around 2 pounds a week. Hope this helps!
