How do you lose 30 or 35 lbs in 4 months?

User Avatar

Asked by MRMONEYMAKER

Lose 12 pounds in 2 months

That's a good goal, and it can be accomplished by improving how you eat and how you exercise.

It terms of eating better, the most important tactic is to eliminate (or strictly limit) all refined (processed carbohydrates). For a list of refined (processed) carbohydrates, see the page link, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

Keep your daily consumption of carbohydrates below 60-80 grams (you decide how strict you need to be) and get your carbohydrates from natural sources such as fresh (preferably organic) vegetables and fruits. Furthermore, eat a protein rich (small) meal every three or four waking hours and (unless you are vegetarian) get most of your protein from natural sources such as grass fed beef and sockeye salmon.

A protein rich meal will be at least 15 grams per feeding for an adult woman and 20 grams per feeding for an adult man. Get your fats from natural sources, too. Drink plenty of water. Just eating this way may, by itself, enable you to drop 12 pounds in eight weeks.

However, it's also important to exercise. It's best to do cardio as well as strength/weight training. The cardio will burn extra calories during and immediately after exercising and the strength training will increase your lean muscle mass, which will burn extra calories 24 hours a day and not just when you are exercising. This is the way that all natural bodybuilders and fitness models train.

For cardio, as soon as possible walk two miles in just under thirty minutes every morning before breakfast. For strength training, do an intense, whole body routine twice weekly. Concentrate on the basic exercises (squats, deadlifts, presses, rows, dips, and chins) and their variations.

Do not, however, change either your eating or exercise habits without the prior blessing of your physician or other health care professional. This program requires work. However, if you work this program hard and stick with it, you should be able to reach your goal and lose 12 pounds in 2 months. For more information, see the page links, further down this page, listed under Related Questions.

10 minuets of jump rope everyday will increase it very well. At first it will be very difficult but get easier. Try to increase the amount of time you can jump consistently.

Is it true that if you do ab exercises the wrong way your abs will be rounded instead of flat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

you can often see a rounded belly on serious heavy weight body builders, this is just because they have so much muscle build up. if you mean the muscle changing in shape other than mass, no. I have never heard of such a thing.

some people have different shaped muscles. for example, the biceps,, some body builders develop round biceps that look like a baseball under the skin, others can develop longer muscle that look more like a half subway sandwich, but this is just genetics and not exercise routine.

Actually, the abdominal muscles can become rounded as they grow stronger if you are pushing them out during your exercises. The muscle will eventually take the shape it is in during your exercises, since that is the way you are training your muscle to go. To avoid this, and to correctly do ab work-outs, pull or 'suck' them in while you are working them. This will strengthen them to stay flat instead of bulge outward. !

My dance teacher totally agrees with this. He does not believe in doing stomach crunches for this very reason although he says it does help if you do them while sucking in your stomach muscles. He recommends instead doing isometric contractions in the stomach area to get a flat lean tummy with nice muscle definition. And it obviously has worked for him!

What exercises burn belly fat for obese kids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is not any exercise that will specifically burn belly fat because if you have fat in the belly area, there is extra fat in other areas of the body. Burning calories will reduce fat all over the body. Some exercises that will strengthen the muscles in the abdomen and make you belly look smaller are using a hula hoop about 10 minutes a day, doing crunches, and simply tightening the muscles and holding for as long as possible. The will tighten the muscles and make you look slimmer.

Why is cardiovascular endurance important for cross country running?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cardiovascular endurance is imperative for cross country running because you are putting your body to intense aerobic activity for more than one hour every day. When you train for cross country, you are most likely running approximately 50 miles a week (it varies among high schools, and is a lot more in college!). Therefore, you must have a strong heart to endure the long distance.

Moreover, it is imperative because cross country races are either 3 miles, 5000m, 8000m, 10000m. Clearly, this is a large distance to be running at a fast pace. Cardiovascular endurance will help you maintain your pace for that distance.

How old should you be to do p90x?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Well right now I am 13 years old and I am only on the 4th day of the first week but i can do it perfectly fine. It is hard but since I am younger its going to be a lot harder. Hopefully by the end of this I will be a really buff and healthy kid.

Anything above 14 is a good age to start, just don't try and be a big man and use really heavy weights, 'cause you'll just end up with a serious injury; go for lighter weights for more reps. I'm 16 and have done it three times in 2 years.

Does water speed up your metabolism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There is some evidence to suggest that drinking lemon water may have a slight impact on metabolism. Lemons contain citric acid, which may help increase metabolism, and water itself has been shown to be important for maintaining a healthy metabolism. However, any effect on metabolism from lemon water is likely to be minimal and it is not a magic solution for weight loss. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are still the most effective ways to boost metabolism.

How long would you have to walk to burn 72 calories?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This entirely depends on the pace at which you are walking, and what condition your body is in. Someone who is very fit, and very trim, will not burn 72 calories as quickly as someone who is not very fit or trim when walking at the same speed.

Lets say you were to walk at 3mph, which is about an average walking pace for many people. Based on your average weight, and walking at a speed of 3 miles an hour, you will burn calories at the following rate:

  • 130 to 140 pounds - 3.5 calories burned per minute
  • 145 to 155 pounds - 4.0 calories burned per minute
  • 160 to 170 pounds - 4.5 calories burned per minute
  • 175 to185 pounds - 5.0 calories burned per minute
  • 190 to 200 pounds - 5.5 calories burned per minute

So if you were to weigh 150lbs, it would take 18 minutes of walking. 18 minutes multiplied by 4 calories a minute equals 72 calories burned. Give or take.
