Answer by Eric
Where Yoga is very beneficial in terms of total body health, Flexibility, increased blood flow, mental clarity, and excellent breathing practices, I will not give you near the result in terms of weight loss, so I would have to say that Aerobics would be your best bet if you can not do both, good luck with whatever you choose.

01/25/2012

Question by : Followed by a 1200 calorie diet and 2 litres of water, is this a good fitness plan for losing weight?
Im 17 years old and i was wondering if this is a good weight loss plan to lose about 20 pounds in 3 months?

as well as an hour walk in the morning and pilates at night;

monday- afternoon surf
tuesday- tai chi class
wednesday- afternoon surf
thuresday -dance class
friday- afternoon surf
saturday- swim at the local pool
sunday- yoga class

Best answer:

Answer by Elle_2day
Due to all the exercise you are getting in, 1200 cals is at the lower end of how much you should be eating; try to have 1200 on the days you surf and between 1200 – 1500 on the other days. Also try and drink between 2-3 litres daily.
Do this and you will have an amazing plan to lose weight, especially since your body won’t get bored with all the different exercises.
Good luck x

Why did I stop losing weight?

01/24/2012

Question by cajunkitty713: Why did I stop losing weight?
I have been on Weight Watchers for 2 years and I lost 55 pounds. I still have 40 – 50 to lose. I have never been a very active person and never exercised. Three weeks ago, I started exercising regularly (yoga, strength training, and aerobics). Since I started exercising, I haven’t lost any weight, in fact, a slight gain. I expected to see a noticeable weight loss with exercise. I do have more energy and I notice my clothes fitting a little looser, but the scale shows me different. Why?

Best answer:

Answer by Supra10.02
Continue eating less obviously. You need to maintain your muscle by getting stronger because muscle burns more calories, fat doesn’t. You need to burn more calories, do cardio at least three times a week. Eating healthy is a key and eating the same thing everyday helps get you into a routine. And the most important part is to keep yourself motivated. Set goals and track your progress.
Your body may have plateaued, if so change the exercises your doing. Drink a lot of water also to help with weight loss.
You should start losing weight don’t lose focus and keep motivated…it may take some time.

Question about weight loss??

01/23/2012

Question by don’tthinktwice: Question about weight loss??
I am 15, almost 16 years old.
I weigh 151 pounds.
How long will it take me to be down to 115 if:

~i excersise for 20 minutes two times a day on a stationary bike
~ do two hours of yoga 1 day a week
~ do pilate excersises 3 times a week

AND am on weight watchers?

Best answer:

Answer by Chris R
At 15-16, when I was almost 200 lbs, I lost about 36 lbs in about 4 months. But your goal is less weight, so, I think you’re going to have to work *really* hard to get those last 10 lbs.

your exercise routine you’d like to start sounds great! And weight watchers is a good choice.

If you can also add fat burning exercises too, such as walking and swimming (that’s my personal favourite), that would be good too.

Can you walk to school instead of getting a lift? Every bit helps. Just remember, whatever you do, to enjoy it. Don’t start off with a bang, and then give up one week later.

Try adding things gradually, and if one thing isn’t as much fun, try something else, until you’re *passionate* about it.

It is possible to lose that weight within a couple of months if you’re consistent.

Good luck!

how effective will this weight loss plan be? (10 points)?

01/22/2012

Question by carlyandthechocolatefactory: how effective will this weight loss plan be? (10 points)?
swithcing off days with running 2-4 miles one day then biikng 4-6 miles the next. pretty fast pace for both but nothing too fast. then dance class on tuesdays and wednesday and tennis on mondays and yoga on thursday (just 20 mins of yoga). also im eating 1000 calories a day give or take. how much will i lose?

Best answer:

Answer by kittenish
Too much too fast, I can tell you that. You’ll lose about 5 lbs in the first two weeks. Then you’ll plateau, i.e., you won’t lose any more weight because your body will have gone into starvation mode (you should eat at least 1200 a day), get discouraged, and gain it all back again and then some.

Slow and steady wins the race with weight loss. Relax a little bit, and you will have more success.

Does this sound good for weight loss, female teen?

01/18/2012

Question by Princess (and i’m proud): Does this sound good for weight loss, female teen?
For breakfast I had a serving size of whole grain cereal with skim milk. For a snack I had a cup of fresh blueberries. After that I had a slice of whole wheat bread toasted with light margarine. I went on 1.5 hr hike then had a protein shake with skim milk and a banana. For Dinner I’m having a chicken burrito on a whole grain tortilla with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, chicken, black beans and a little cheese. Does that sound good if I’m trying to lose weight? Thanks(: oh and I’m doing yoga for an hour tonight.
