As you probably know, elliptical trainers, sometimes referred to as cross trainers, are so named because when the pedals on the machines are turned, they trace a path that’s not round like on a bicycl…
When you talk about getting a flat stomach, most people tend to think of exercises like crunches, leg lifts, sit ups, knee raises, etc., or the ab machines at the gym. These are very good for developi…
I am 16 years old, 5′6″ and 155 pounds. I am going to start exercising more and eating better.
Items at my disposal:
30lb dumbbell set
250 yard driveway to run up and down
treadmill
mini stepping thing
plenty of room for indoor or outdoor exercises
So here is what I want, I want to lose my excess stomach fat and replace it with abs and pecs, build up my arms, and establish a healthier lifestyle. Don’t have the time to join a gym. So, here was what I was thinking:
20-30 minutes of running or walking (or a combo of both)
10-15 minutes of some form of ab workout (I read that the bicycle is the most efficient)
10-15 minutes of arm workouts
If you have any suggestions on the workout portion, let me know. I don’t really know what I’m doing as far as this whole thing goes. When do you think the soonest I would see a flatter stomach/abs showing up? I don’t really have a deadline, but as soon as possible without going workout crazy would be nice.
As for the diet, I already drink a descent amount of water, but I could be drinking more. So I plan on replacing all unhealthy drinks with water. What would be good for a food plan? I do not like seafood, so fish is not an option.
Thanks for all of your help!
When I say bicycle, I mean the exercise where you touch your elbow to opposite knee and then switch. You do it at a pace such that your legs make motions like you’re riding a bicycle.

Ok, so over the past 2 years, I’ve managed to lose 3 and a half stone (50 pounds), and I need to lose just 9 more pounds to be at my goal, but these last 5 weeks, I’ve come to a stand still when it comes to loosing weight pretty much.
I’m male and my diet is about 1700 calories a day, and I will go on the treadmill for 30 minutes 5 days a week. Usually, I’ll jog for the majority of this and maybe do between 4-8 minutes of running. This used to work fine until recently, but now, it seems to not have the same effect. Anyone have any ideas of what I could do to tweak my treadmill workout, like a routine which incorporates fast running and walking/jogging intervals, I’ve heard this works well?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
hi, if i run for about 15 minutes of the 30 minutes i’m on the treadmill and then do weights and situps and pushups for another 15 minutes how many calories lost is that around? i try to stay fairly active throughout the day as well if i can but just for that main workout i would like to know.
thanks
1. So, I want to lose weight. I’ve been exercising 2 times a day in 20 minute intervals. When is the best time to workout? Morning? Before Bed? After dinner? etc…
2. I have a bowflex, eliptical, and a treadmill… I usually go on the treadmill, but I usually just get sweaty. I’m not really tired afterward. What’s the best machine to work out on?
3. What’s good to eat when on a diet?
4. South Park: the Homeless episode… When the 4 kids got together, and rebuilt the bus, they sang a song to send the homeless to California. Was that song re-made? Is that a real song?
School starts for me on September 2, today is August 10. I currently am 5′3 and 112 lbs. I have been a little on the chubby side for 3 years and it is hard to find stuff for back to school, I mean I have cute stuff T-Shirts and “chic” clothes but I want to look less fat in them.
