Question: Do pushups help you lose weight (p.s. is this an ideal exercise routine?)?
Is this ideal and should I add on any more for this to be effective in losing weight? Do pushups help you lose weight?
Answers:
There are two types of exercise: aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic is what helps you lose weight, because you are constantly moving. Some of those exercises are walking/ jogging/ running and those are the ones that help you lose weight. On the other hand, anaerobic exercises are usually less physically demanding. When you first start doing them, you lose weight because you are losing fat, but once you've done them for long enough, you will gain muscle, and therefore become heavier.
So, to be more effective I would say to run more than the 10-15 minutes. Also, make sure to eat healthy and drink plenty of water.
Pushups at first help you lose weight, but once you start gaining muscle mass, they don't.
Push ups will make your muscles firm up and get stronger.
For weight loss you need an activity that empties your blood sugar reserves so that the body needs to use body fat as fuel.
This normally takes about an hour of activity before it starts.
So keep up your routine and don't give in for the sugar urge :)
anything that burns calories helps you lose weight.. however if you are eating more calories than you're burning, you won't lose weight no matter how many push-ups you do.. you need to eat healthy foods like the ones on this list: http://want-2-b-healthy.blogspot.com/201… and depending on your weight, you should eat between 1200 and 2000 calories per day..
Only as part of a calorie controlled diet, and it doesn't use as much calorie as a straight forward cardio exercise like jogging.
Not really, aerobic exercises usually will help you lose weight, and push-ups will help you define your upper body
It will definitely help with weight loss, but you will lose most of the weight from your running/jogging. Cardio is great for weight loss! :)
Sounds Good
And yeah push ups can help you to lose weight, but the best thing to lose weight is cardio
That exercise is good (any will help). A good diet is important too.
Push ups are for toning the body...
