Exercise Alone Won’t Make You Thin

admin — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 16:14:04 +0000

Well the title is pretty strange I have to say but sometimes it happens where you get to see people who work in their exercise very hard and still do not lose weight. This doesn’t happen because of a problem in his body or that his doing the wrong workouts it could be because of the food that he is eating.

Yeah!!! The food that he is eating is playing a big factor in losing weight. You just can’t go to the gym daily and expect to lose like 20 pounds at the end of the month while you’re eating fast food daily from McDonalds.

I am not saying that exercise is not help full in fact, exercise is very important to the body and it will keep you fit and lower the chance of getting cancer, heart disease and diabetes also exercise helps you battle depression. It also makes you feel younger, stronger, and healthier.

It’s just that you will need to control the type of food that you eat or else you won’t lose weight and you can start with a proper diet like Fat Loss 4 Idiots that is an online diet generator and you can make a diet plan for 11 days according to the type of food that you like.

Do I Run First And Then Do Weight Lifting Or The Opposite?

At this point if you are confused between which one to do first then I have to say that it depends on what you want to do or in other words it depends whether you want to build muscle or you want to lose weight and have a lean body.

There are three ways you can do this:

The best way to do this is by running in the morning and weight lifting at night (“this is great but requires more time”)
If you want to do weight lifting it is better to do weight exercise in the start when you are full of energy to get maximum result ASAP and then you can do the running
The last way is by running first and then doing weight workouts but you won’t give it a lot of energy but in this way you will be burning more calories and keeping your body in shape and this way is used basically from people who are overweight and want to lose weight and be in shape too.

So see which way suits you and you can start doing it. Feel free to tell me if you have another opinion.

How to lose weight fast in 2 month With Exercise

Before you start reading this you should know that losing weight fast in 2 month is for losing 25 pounds or less, any more pounds will be a risk to your body. Now since you want to lose weight fast and in a short period of time I have to say this that it requires real commitment from you since you will be changing your life style in a very short period of time.

I will mention small guidelines that will help you get started with exercises at once that are very important in your weight loss journey but before that you will need to drink lots of water at least 8 glasses of water per day and adjusting your food by eating properly so that you do not destroy all the exercise that you have done throughout the week or month.

The exercises that you will do are simple all that you will need to do is an hour of exercise five to six times per week. The idea here is how you spend this hour:

You start with a 5 min worm-up or stretching to get started for your cardio workouts
Then there are 30 min of cardio workouts which is very important for burning calories. There are many ways to do cardio workouts but mainly the best is running or you can use an exercise DVD like Insanity Cardio Workout and fitness program that makes complete exercises based on workouts with no need of space or equipments and it is a program for 2 months too.
After that you get to make 20 minutes of strength exercise and this is for getting a good shape and building muscles.
There are the last five minutes that are spent in stretching which is definitely very important.

If you want to speed the weight loss process then you could make another hour of workouts, then it is preferred to do one hour in the morning and one at night.

P90x Vs Insanity Workouts

Many people have asked me to mention the difference between P90x DVDs and Insanity DVDs. I really have to say this but both of these exercise DVDs are amazing and have a great effect on the body where you will definitely change how you look if you dedicate yourself to it.

First I will start talking about P90x and then insanity to make it as simple as possible for you. So P90x is made by Tony Horton who is a great trainer and a successful one also he has a great ability to motivate you throughout the workouts. P90x workouts are for 90 days and take an average of 60 min each day.

The P90x program is divided into 3 main phases, each phase takes one month and the last week is a recovery week to help it become ready for the next phase. There is a nutrition plan that comes with it that is made for the P90x program and is essential to follow it because if you do not eat well you will get exhausted.

P90x requires dumbbells, pull up bars, chair, and an exercise mat which means that to you will need a little space for it. Also these workouts are great for people who want to lose weight, have lean muscle or even build muscle.

On the other side Insanity is made by Shaun T who is a well known trainer and appears in many TV shows around the world. Insanity DVDs are different in many ways than P90x where it does not require neither space or any type of equipments at all and at the same time this program is made for only 60 days which is a short time in case you want to speed up your process and get your body ready for whatever even you are having if it was the summer to have a beach body or a party.

Insanity workouts are based on a mix of aerobic and anaerobic or in other words it is based on hard, strong, and long cardio workouts. Another advantage for Insanity DVDs is that the maximum workouts per day take mostly 40 and sometimes could take 60 but this will be rare.

So if you are the type of person who want to build hard or lean muscles with weight and non repetitive workouts then P90x is for you but if you want to have a strong body in a short period of time with cardio workouts and have a very strong will to lose weight then Insanity is for you.

And if you have been using any of your programs I would like to learn about your own experience on it. Currently I have been using P90x and I will post my updates on my own experience.
