Cardio-kickboxing is a really good way to burn fat, but it's hard. . You can also try spinning bike or aerobics. I don't know if you're like me, but I can't excersise on my own, I always have to join a class, it's more fun to do it with other people and to have instructos that can guide you. If you don't have any experience doing excersise, it's better for you to join a class, otherwise you might end up hurting yourself.
Personally I love martial arts. |

Walking is the best thing you can do. A good fast pace is best. |

Anything you do will help, start by walking. Add in housework. Can you swim? It is the best exercise you can do. How about a bike? Ride it (even a stationary, it does wonders for me!) And finally cut out the junk food, i.e. fats and sugars. Don't deprive yourself, just have smaller portions.
This is called the any food diet, eat ONLY when you're hungry, and stop when you are full! No more "clean your plate." |

I just started spinning and LOVE it. If you never heard of it ---its a class full of bikes and the instructor guides you along flat rides and hills etc for about 50 minutes. At my gym they turn down the lights and play cool music and it flies by. I ususally hate cardio but this I look forward too and after 2 weeks my clothes are already getting looser. |

My favorite thing to do is dance. Seriously--I'll put on the radio and just rock out--to dance, electronica, rock, whatever. I get my arms going, my legs going, and I try to keep my tummy tight while I'm doing it. It usually gets me all revved up and ready for some situps or crunches, or light cardio. Seriously--15 minutes of dancing in front of your mirror at home and you'll be sore in places you didn't know you had...Good luck! |

i've found the best way to get motivated to walk 3 miles every day is to make myself a music cassette or CD that lasts 50 minutes. hopefully you can even mix them so they start of at a regular walking pace and get faster and faster, then for the last 3 songs sortof slow you back down to a regular walk.
they even have Christian walking tapes, i love those 'cause then you feel like you're "wording up" while you cardio up. i lost 30 pounds in 3 months doing music fast walks and eating 1000 calories a day!
ps or if you can't mix a tape or CD, just pop in one of your favorite artists and listen to the whole album. they usually last 50 minutes to an hour....
and, good luck! you GO girl |

The best cardio exercise to burn fat is anything dealing with HEAVY leg workouts. For some reason, this really gets the metabolism flowing! My suggestion is spinning class. I was able to lose 25 pounds in 2 months doing that and stairmaster with a light diet. (and I wasn't very fat to begin with) |

Well, other ppl have said wht I was gonna say...personally, I luv dancing. It gets my heart pumped up & there's no "limit" - u can do a variety of dances.
Running is also great. My cousin lost a lot of weight since she started running 3 times a week. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her. (She used to be around 200lbs & now she's around 140lbs...she's 21...call impressive!). |

For overall cardio swimming is really the best. It requires all of your muscles to work and is a very low impact way to work out. Outside of the water, interval training works wonders as well. You have to get your heart rate up and maintain it so moving from one excercise to another will little to no breaks does this. It will also help step up your metabolism allowing you to better burn fat while not excercising. You don't need weights anyway although it nevers hurts. Moving your own body weight first should be everyones first step. Push-ups, squats and sit-ups can be just as usful without weights and simply put, if you can't move your own weight, then why would you be trying to move extre weight? |

drink plenty of ice cold water, the body burns more when you drink a lot of cold water because it has to burn calories bringing the water down to body temp. when you drink tap water it does not burn calories because the water is already at body temp. ask you doctor he will inform you of this |

Don't forget that what and how often you eat is 70% of the equation. |

My ideas? Try to do 200 minutes of cardio a week. Remember fat does not turn into muscle, so you need to lose your fat while putting on muscle. Work hard, but don't over 60 minutes at a time. Do planks and other abs exercises on alternate days.
On training days, do 5-10 minutes of cardio to warm up, then do your weight training. Do 30 to 60 minutes more of cardio, then go home.
The best time to eat is just after your workout within an hour when your metabolism is raging. For your muscles, incorporate some isolated soy protein or whey protein. Whey is more potent but the soy tastes better!
Don't look at your scale as the be all and end all, but get a measuring tape to check your progress, and that will show more tangible results.
Read magazines like Shape, Womens Fitness, Fitness, etc to get tips and to stay motivated.
Good luck and stick at it. This plan has lost me 20 lbs in 12 weeks so far, just go for it! |

Start with walking, build up to jogging. Jogging burns lots of calories.
Just realize that you can't burn away a lot of fat FAST -- it will take time. So be patient and KEEP AT IT and you will see results. Take the long view, not the short view! Good luck. |
