The ideal BMI (body mass index=weight/height^2, note: weight as kilogramme, height as meter) is between 21 and 25, you need to make sure if you are overweight or not, then you need to lose your weight if your BMI>25.

How long does it take to see results from walking?
Don't expect to see physical results for about 6 weeks and remember, it takes at least 6 weeks for something to become habit forming, so don't quit no matter what. Try not to worry about what the scale says, but take great notice in how your clothes start to hang differently. Muscle weighs more than fat so you may see a slight weight increase but don't panic.
How long does it take to lose weight if you weigh 200 pounds?

Can you lose weight walking on a treadmill?
Walking to lose weight is mild cardio exercise. It is very effective for weight loss when done properly. For example, today go for a walk (this plan can be used indoors on a treadmill or walking outdoors) at the best pace you can manage until you are comfortably tired. Note how far you walked. The day after tomorrow, go for another walk but increase the distance slightly. Continue walking every other day until you are walking 4 miles.
Once you are able to do that, slightly increase your pace with each walk until you are walking those 4 miles in just under 1 hour every other day. This will burn many extra calories during and immediately after your walks. An alternative method that some people use when walking to lose weight is to buy a pedometer and build up to walking at least 10,000 steps daily.
What is the best weight loss surgery?
There are a number of great options out there for people who are looking to lose weight through a weight loss surgery. However, finding the best weight loss surgery for you can be a long and protracted process. Due to this, it's very important that you do your research before you even talk to a clinic to make sure that you know which type of weight loss surgery you want to get. Once you have an idea of what type of the best weight loss surgery for you, you can start researching great clinics that have high ratings with their customers.
How many calories you would loose if you walk 5 km on a treadmill in half an hour?
You can't WALK 5k in 30 minutes.
Speed = Distance / Time
Speed = 5 / 0.5 (30 mins expressed as an hour)
So Speed = 10km/h
I don't know anyone who can walk at 10 km/h
But you can certainly run 5 k in 30 minutes. How many calories that would use up depends on a lot of things, your weight, level of exertion ASO. I'd probably use up something like 300 cal for a 30 minute run at that pace.
The amount of calories you burn in a 5k depends on your speed and your weight. If you run in the 5k you will burn more than if you walk in the 5k.
What should a teenager be concerned about?
Teenagers shouldn't really worry TOO much about diet, losing weight and all that. They just need to make sure they're getting all their vitamins and minerals, and at least making sure they eat somewhere within their general calorie range. They should be pretty active, and get about an hour of exercise every day.
What is normal weight for a child of 5 feet and 7 inches and is 14 years old?
* Please consult your doctor for your "healthy" weight. You can check on the website for the American Diabetic Associtaion, they usually have a rough guideline. These are guidelines set by health professionals and the most accurate. Please don't check just any website as you may be given a number that is too low to reach without endangering yourself. Society is obsessed with ultra thin people and that is extremely dangerous for the average person. See a doctor they will be happy to let you know where you need to be and help you get there if your not there already. * For more information about weight in relation to height, and to see the distribution of weights and heights of children at various ages, please see the page link, further down this page, listed under "Related Questions."
Will you lose weight by just eating fruit and vegetables?
I juiced fruits and vegies and lost on average 1/2 lb a day. Then after 3 weeks I added in fruits and salads and lost 2-3 lbs a week. The great thing is you get to eat as much as you want because calories are low and it's full of vitamins.
The following advice on leg exercises is applicable to males and females, alike...
...You need to perform weight lifting leg exercises using heavy to moderate weight. You should be on a high quality weight training program, eating enough calories (bodyweight x ~18) and enough protein (bodyweight X ~1.0grams/lb. of bodyweight), and be getting about 8 hours of sleep per night.
For calf exercises, perform both standing and seated calf raises. Do 3-5 sets x 5 reps of standing calf raises with heavy weight; and do 2-4 sets x 8-10 reps of seated calf raises. Do this (within your overall weight lifting program) 1-2x/week. See link down the page entitled "calf exercises" for more information.
For developing your thighs and butt, you should perform heavy compound exercises such as deadlifts, squats, leg presses, lunges, RDLs or step ups to name a few. Don't bother with leg curls or leg extensions (unless you use them to warm up or cool down). Any good weight lifting routine includes effective leg exercises within it's structure (see links below for "Weight Lifting Program" & "Leg Exercises" for more complete information)

There are 2 main types of muscle-building: 1. Condition training. Build muscles that are small and hard but can exercise for a long time. 2. Body building. Build big muscles made for short but heavy exercises.
Therefore, do heavy leg exercises which you won't be able to stand for long. Like running or biking as fast as you can. Or use a device to lift weights with your legs.
When weightlifting, use the maximum weight that you can faultlessly lift for about 6 or 10 times in a row.
How many sit-ups do you need to do to lose 50 pounds in two weeks?
Sit-ups do not have any significant effect on losing stomach fat. Sit-ups are one of a variety of exercises necessary for strengthening abdominal muscles. You can do thousands of sit-ups and all you will have is stronger muscles underneath a layer of belly fat.
To lose stomach fat, you have to lose overall body fat--it's practically impossible to "target" only the fat in one area of the body. Sustained aerobic exercise (such as cycling or running) is the most effective way to do that. Most people cannot safely reduce their caloric intake enough to have a significant impact--they must increase their caloric expenditure. Sit-ups tend to be anaerobic exercise; they cannot be sustained for a long enough period of time to burn hundreds of calories each day.
The rate at which calories derived from carbohydrates are burned depends on the intensity of the exercise. However, the rate at which calories derived from stored fat are burned during exercise is fairly constant. Therefore, vigorous (but not intense) exercise, which can be sustained for long periods of time, is the key to losing body fat. It comes down to how many hours of exercise you can fit into your schedule each week. Sit-ups are not that kind of exercise.
Do you lose as many calories walking as you do running?
This actually depends on a few factors.
Running will of course need more energy than walking. This is however TimeWise. 10 minutes of running burn more calories that 10 minutes of walking.
If one look at distance instead of time. 1 mile of running burns only marginally more calories than 1 mile of walking.
You will however build up more muscles and extend your lungcapacity more by running than with slow walking.

50 push ups. 2 sets of 25. -------------> TRICEPS & BICEPS
30 sit-ups. 2 sets of 15.-------------> ABS
30 crunches. 2 sets of 15-------------> ABS
50 squats. 2 sets of 25.-------------> CALFS & THIGHS
30 lunges. 15 on each leg.-------------> CALFS & THIGHS
20 leg raises, 30 seconds each. -------------> CALFS & THIGHS
10 planks, 30 seconds each.-------------> ALL AROUND WORKOUT.
This should take about 4-6 weeks to get ripped (huge thighs,calfs,biceps,triceps,pecks,and abs) once ripped continue this everyday, it will keep you fit, and it will only get easier. Also, keep a healthy diet, lots of protein=lots of muscle. If you have another physical activity that takes place on certain days, don't do this workout on those days, you've already gotten your workout, you don't need to over tire yourself.
Anyways, this worked for me and I'm 13 and about 5'8, it took about 5 weeks. You know, I got pecks, 8 pack, huge legs and huge arms, it was really worth it. But once you're ripped, don't stop cause it'll just go back to being all floppy and not so buff looking.
P.S. DO NOT USE WEIGHTS. Listen, I got this workout routine from my football coach, he's quite fit himself, but he said do not use weights because they cause a large strain on your back, and we, are still at a growing age, so until we've stopped growing, which stops at around 20 (ask your doctor for more details) it would possibly do long term damage to your major growth plats on your back because of all the strain.
I hope this helped, it sure did for me .

Can a person lose three pounds in 24 hours?
Yes, it is possible to lose weight in an hour. Possibly even more. But the ways to get there can do much damage on your body. I would not recommend trying these methods. A healthy weight loss is 1-2 pounds a week. In a month you could lose 8-10 pounds healthily.
Does walking 2 miles help lose weight?
Yes! The durration of your exersize program is more important than the distance. One shoud "work out" 30 to 45 minutes everyday. Exersize is the key to a healthy lifestyle. What will really cause you to loose weight is expending more calories than you take in. It is iportant that you know your calorie range. For instance with my activity level (which isn't much) I should stay between 1200 and 1600 calories per day.
I personally have lost 60 pounds by walking 2-3 miles per day. I have done it by doing three things. Eat less, like half of what I use to. Eat well, as in healthier. Move more, making a conserted effort to move every chance I have.
Good luck, hope it helps.
The only way to safely "speed up" weightloss is by doing exercise alongside your weightloss diet. Cardiovascular exercise (walking, running, cycling, swimming) is usually best since it does not encourage huge amounts of muscle gain.
If you really want to lose weight quickly, try a camping holiday in a location with lots of walking opportunities. The combination of slightly unappealing "camping food" and lots of walking results in quick weight loss.
Alternatively you may experience a few pounds of water-loss just from cutting salt from your diet. (Although this is a temporary measure since it will be regained when salt is consumed).

What muscle do heel raises work?
The heel raise exercise works your calf muscles, which are two separate muscles. The first is the gastrocnemius muscle, which is the outermost calf muscle on the back of your lower leg. Your soleus muscle is the second part of your calf muscle and rests underneath the gastrocnemius. However, the soleus is slightly wider than the gastrocnemius.
