lose weight Options

[rocky2006]

since theres always someone on this site who is an expert on any given area, can any of you help me? im kinda overweight but not too bad, and i just want to know a good excercise that i can do after school to help me lose weight. i want to have as much fat as possible gone by march 18 (spring break). im 5'10" and weigh ~173 lbs. i have a decent amount of lean mass cause i was in weight training the first semester in school and i got my bench up to ~215, while working out the rest of the body. just trying to be as specific as possible cause i really want to get rid of some weight. im already trying to watch what i eat, but it seems to have brought me nowhere. some calc said i should keep my heart rate at around 140 for fat-burning. how much are the things that measure your heart rate? i dont want to have to stop and count during an excercise to find out my heart rate. what the hell do i do for quick, dramatic results?

This helped me a ton I've slimmed down a lot...

K... what you wanna do is first of all, you wanna keep your metabolism up, and to do that, you wanna eat something healthy every 2-3 hours... I alwasy have like baby carrots on me or grapes or whatever... You get the idea.. Whatever you do! DONT STARVE YOURSELF! Its a stupid idea, and in the ed it just makes you gain it back quicker tha you lost it...

Second of all... Muscle burns fat, so you wanna gain muscle... Do weight lifting, and work out the entire body.

Then cardiovascular... This burns fat quickly when you work out in the "zone" as they like to call to... Now... You can go joging, you can use those machines that get your heart rate up. But you must to burn the fat, go runnng, or use a machine that gets your hart rate up for a minum of 20 minutes up to an hour... If you keep this up regularly you'll notice a quick change

Oh and replace what you regularly drink with water. Drink lots and lots of it. Cuz it proven to give you more energy, make muscle function its best, and it does make you loose weight.

But just dont do cardio and drink water... You gotta keep your metabolism up (eat every 3-4 hours of something healthy), drink lots of water, weight lift and do carido...

Also, justa tip, work out in the mornings if you can, it keeps your metabolism burning calories throughout the day, it give more energy, and it wakes you up . I wor out every moring at 6:30 and I love the results...

This really des work cuz i've been doing it for awhile, and I've toned up,
I lost prolly like 15-20 pounds... It looks great

Hopefully this helps ya
