Exercising alone will not give you curves. Here are some tips that will help. Combine exercise and healthy eating. This will help you lose weight, and tone up defining your curves.
Simply exercising will not lost all the weight. You need to combine exercise with eating healthy. Here are some tips that will help you.
Exercise and eat right.
Stay away from fried foods, and foods with high fat content. I.E no mcdonalds, burger king, or fast food.
Eat a 1200 -1400 calorie diet, and exercise one hour a day for 5 days a week.
Eat foods such as chicken breast, turkey, fish, egg whites, (try to stay away from the egg yolks), anything wheat is usually really good for you (wheat bread & pita bread) Incorporate a lot of fruits and vegetables into your diet. Fish is also good. Try to eat three meals a day, or you can split up your meals into six meals a day. Stay away from trans fats, and stay on a low fat diet (20 grams per day). Oatmeal, and those healthy bars are good. For snacks, you can eat those 100 calorie packs.
As for lean cuisine for lunch, stay away from that. Lean cuisine meals have a lot of sodium on them which causes you to retain water.
There are also a variety of pastas now that offer whole wheat--just letting you know.
A sample lunch can include: a sandwich on wheat, with a bottle of water and a large apple. Breakfast could be oatmeal, or yogurt with fruit. Dinner could vary. You could bake fish, or bake chicken. Just stay away from junk food and greasy foods. Do not fight untill dinner. Eat healthy snacks. You can eat pop corn without better, celery, carrots, fruits, and soy chips.
For toning, you can do crunches, and push ups. For exercise take up running, swimming, jump roping or anything that works the heart. You can create simple workouts at home without a gym. (at first you might weigh more, but that is due to muscle weight) PS, try to exercise at least five times a week for a hour a day.
Good luck!
Remember to drink lots of water throughout the day to keep your body hydrated
think of good things while you exercise? I dunno, listen to music.
weight whatchers
Weight Watchers... very good suggestion... but if you get board easily, then nothing might work, its something you have to stick to in order to work... think of the end result to keep yourself motivated, try to make it fun for yourself.
Try to eat 3 meals a day, and walk or run as much as you can.
Please do not over-eatnig, eating it must essential, proper food / right time and depending on our age. Follow the 'Yoga' or scientific exercises. Please ask the doctors.
tips
...um...have a glass of skim milk 10min before a meal. milk expands in you stomache and you'll eat less because you're already a little full
sometimes you don't need food, you just want taste (hot tea is nothing but water), or want to chew on something...sugar free gum
Motivation...had a friend in college, she bought an out fit that was just a little bit to small...and everyday, she tried it on...it worked for her
don't go by weight, go by body fat percentage. just live a healthy lifestyle and you'll be fine. exercise and eat healthy. i just am naturally motivated so idk what to say to motivate you but things that might help you are to make healthy things convient to you.
