i need some moral support here. do you think i can get toned up and ready in one week?
im 14 years old and 5’5″. so im pretty tall for my age, but i have a small frame, so i’m not a big individual.
ive been working out for the past 5 months and i lost 11 pounds. i would have lost more, but i ate fast food every single day. i thought i did pretty well considering i ate such unhealthy food.
my mom always cooks at home, i just am addicted to the taste of fast food =D i know its bad, so ive layed off of it as much as i can.
this sunday is my friends swim party, the one i’ve been aiming to lose weight for all year. i’m pretty good now; i can wear a bikini and all thatt(: but, i have some lovehandles (small ones) i just want to get rid of. any ideas how to lose this fast?
i’m planning on eating small portions of very healthy food throughout the day, not eating after seven oclock pm, and doing high intensity workouts every single day for the next week.
i just need some ideas on it. do you think it would work?
anythinggg will helpp. thankkks so muchh!!
You need to add muscle, not just tone up or burn calories..
Don’t be doing cardio. Cardio is counterproductive. It helps train your body to burn calories more efficiently, which is great if you are starving and don’t want to lose weight, or want to be able to run a half marathon. But that isn’t our case here. We want our body to BURN as many as possible. So, stop running for distance…
Do high intensity interval training instead.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_interval_training
In other words, sprint for 45 seconds. Walk for 2 minutes, sprint for 45 seconds, walk for 2 minutes. repeat that five times. I do this on an elliptical machine at the gym. You can do it at the high school track if you want. the goal is to absolutely hit the wall and then recover, then do it over. It is grueling, but not as grueling as 45 minutes of “jogging”.
Most people eat way too much junk.
Cut the sugar as low as you can. Reduce the amount of bread you eat each day to maybe 2 slices a day or less. Drop the butter, milk and ice cream. No soda, not even diet. Drink water and lots of it, like 3 liters a day. Eat 6 times a day, make certain you have an endless supply of apples and bananas. You can’t get real fat eating a 70 calorie fruit:-) Snack on that instead of 400 calories of potato chips. Now, increase the amount of protein you eat, which for you would run about 80 grams a day, or more if you can find it. Do not eat protein free salads. It will hinder your goal of fitness.
You need to track your overall calorie intake, and target a 500 calorie deficit, which is probably about 1500 calories a day for you. Keep track of everything you eat, and the calories that consume. Put it into a spreadsheet, or track it on a sheet of paper. You can find out the calorie counts of most foods either on the product itself or on the web at http://www.calorieking.com and other places out there as well.
You could start doing body weight workouts, push ups, crunches, sprints, squats, lunges etc.
Take up a sport this summer. Swimming is great, bicycling is great too.
For some great body weight exercises, go to http://bodyrock.tv
Go to youtube.com and search for core exercises. I like planks and working with a fitness ball, lots of variations on the theme.
You need to lose just a few lbs and add muscle so that you are lean and fit, as opposed to bony and sickly looking. It is really too late to make much difference in 4 days, but you can really start to look good in just a month or so, looking great in 2 or 3. But it is HARD work, there is no easy option. Go check out what Jessica Simpson did to prepare for her movie role as Daisy Duke. It is hard work. Is it worth it? I bet you will say that it is, when you get there.
Good luck!
