Here is how you can loose weight fast, and I mean FAST! When I was 9 my dad went out and bought a home gym. Every once in a while I would hook up some light weight and lift for a while. I have lifted off and on until I was 11. I had some flab on my arm at first, but after a while I was amazed at how it all turned into muscle. I think that you should start working out every-other night. Before you get a bath/shower you should do some crunches, or sit-ups until you feel like you could throw-up! This really works. I also think you should start running. You should run around the block at least once every-other night. The key to loosing weight is to do something that that makes your heart beat faster, and keep doing that for a while! Then you should probably try out for pee-wee football! You would loose weight and gain some muscle from football practice.I know that you can loose the weight, cause you are a winner! Always believe that! I did, I weigh 156lbs, and can bench press 225lbs, and dead-lift 370lbs.Good-luck in the future,Dave

Hey,
doing those ab exercises are working, they r making ur stomach muslces stronger andm ore toned. But you could have the strongest abs in da world but wouldnt be able to show them off if ur got a big gut (lik me lol)
u need to lose weight overall ur whole body before toning ur stomach up. try whole body workouts like rowingor swimming.

Ab workouts will build muscle which will burn fat, but your gonna have to eat better and drink water, and I say this alot but, arobic excercise, like running, becuase it gets your heart going and if you work long enough your body will start to use the fat for energy and not carbs....okay then hope I helped.

hey, jenn, I ran around 2 miles a day everyday excepet for saturday. and also dancing is a great way to burn off the extra calories your body doesnt need. jumping rope is also a good workout, and jumping jacks, 10 or so pushups a day, and 50 situps a day(every situp burns 1 calorie, so, 50 situps=50calories burned) HOPE THIS HELPED!

Losing weight is not easy (Unfortunately, it is so easy to put on, but hard to take off - Wish it was the other way around, eh?) I am overweight myself and I sometimes wish that I could be thinner (I am not too concerned about the actual weight number) I just want to look good. I, myself am tall (5'11) so it does not really show that much, but anyone who would look at me would notice that I am a bit chubby looking. Lately, I have been exercising. Every morning, I walk to school and home from school. Walking is one of the best exercises your body can get, so after dinner or whenever you are bored, go for a walk and enjoy the great outdoors! Before you go to bed, do some situps and pushups. I do that and it feels great. I sometimes use the "Health Walker" (You stand on it and walk in the air - also known as an "Air Walker") and that is a great way. If you do have that machine, I suggest... (view more)

Cardiovascular work: is important to speed up your metabolism so you burn more calories to help shed body fat, and it should be performed at least 3 days a week. What I recommend is to alternate your weight training days with cardio days. So, following your weight training session, do 30 minutes of any cardio activity. Then, on your alternate days, do 30 minutes of any (great way to mix it up and keep it fun!) cardio activity and activity and also on this day perform some abdominal and calf exercises.
-Also Eat Well Balanced foods, stuff like pizza and everything isn't that good for you if your trying to loose weight. Don't eat so little to loose cause you will gain it back and + more. Drink Plenty of water I usually drink 1-5 L but I touch it up with StrawberryKiwi Crystal Lite.

Pilates exercise videos work really well for toning your middle, but its pretty expensive, try getting a hoola hoop and doing it while watching tv or something its not too hard and it works well.

Hey!
If you get the right tapes, like the ones that include toning, stretching, warm-ups, and aerobics, they will work. You can't exactly know how much you will lose with them though because everyones body is different. Just remeber that 80% of losing weight comes from eating healthy, so its not just based on exersising. You need to make a concious effort to eat right, and you will succeed. Good luck!

Liz- I tried to leave a comment on ur post, but it didn't work, so this is my suggestion about your dog. I can usually get my dog to play chase with me. I chase her to one end of the house and she chases me back. It's fun and it gets you sprinting. You can also play keep away with a toy by throwing it in the house (not far obviously) and then seeing who can get it first, you or the dog. It's a great work out for both of you! Good luck!
