What are the best exercises to do to lose weight in your tummy?

Attempting to reduce fat in just one part of your body at a time is likely to be disappointing.

Fat reduction works like this: When you try to lose fat, the reduction occurs all throughout your body. Unlike muscle-building, it cannot be specifically targeted to one region. Also, the reduction in fat will not be quickly apparent because it will not be focused on only one spot on your body. So it's helpful to have a "slowly but surely" attitude.

Note that exercises mostly serve to tone the muscle underneath the fat. But if you want to slim down, the fat has to be burned off. For that, the main thing is to ditch the junk food and the sweetened drinks. Exercise alone might not be sufficient.

Here's a program for the period in which you want to lose weight:

Plenty of moderate aerobic exercise (the precise kind isn't that important), no sweetened liquids at all, and no junk food at all. Preferably no sugar, and as little added salt and processed foods as possible. Eat 3 small-portioned meals/day; do not skip breakfast; and avoid snacks. Limit your calories (better to consult a doctor or nutritionist concerning the amount), and weigh yourself 2-3 times/week. Ignore the sensation of hunger. If you see your weight diminishing at a safe, reasonable rate (1-2 pounds/week), keep it up.

Once you've reached your target weight, increase your calorie intake somewhat. And you can then have small amounts of sweetened foods or junk food on occasion (if at all), along with your regular foods (not instead of them). But keep checking your weight 2-3 times/week.

Avoid crash diets, diet pills etc. Avoid fatty cuts of meat. Walk as much as possible. Bicycling and swimming are good too.

More guidelines:

Don't concentrate on specific foods so much as on a balanced, healthy diet plus exercise. Plenty of moderate exercise rather than intense exercise, which can damage your joints.

Good nutrition means eating what your body needs, while ingesting as few harmful things as possible. It has also been described as getting enough of each of the major food categories (grains, fruits, vegetables, protein, dairy, etc.; plus plenty of water).

This will vary somewhat from one person to another; and I don't believe that there's any universal diet that can be prescribed for everyone. Avoid best-sellers with their perennial fad diets. And think twice before using any dietary supplements or weight-loss pills.

In general, one's starting point can be a menu of whole grains, whole-wheat bread, a good amount of vegetables, some fruits and nuts, fish, lean meats (in not-large amounts), and some dairy. However, this must be tweaked according to one's health, weight and other factors at the outset; and also adjusted over time, as one sees what works for him/her in particular.

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.

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 are the long term effects of exercise to the cardio vascular system?

Your body will have a shorter recovery time as your fitness levels get better. The heart would need to beat less just to pump the same amount of blood as before. The heart increases in size and so does the muscle tissue due to the long time in training. The strength of the contractions also increases and so the does the blood being pumped every beat.

Is jumping rope bad?

Bad? No way!!

Jumping rope is arguably one of the best, if not THE BEST exercise you can do. Jumping rope is a great way to lose weight, gain strength, gain endurance and relax the mind.

When starting out jumping rope, the best thing you can do is take it slow and RELAX. Relaxing when you jump rope is very important, it will you jump rope longer and become more efficient. Start jumping rope with a goal in mind of three minutes. After three minutes, take a break (I like to immediately do a set of weight lifting) then go back and do another three minutes. You can find more help on jumping rope from your personal trainer or take a look on youtube..
