ex. tread mill and other cardio machines.
i talked to a trainer at 24 hour fitness and he was like: "doesnt matter how much cardio you do, your legs wont get any skinny one bit. the only thing that works is a healthy diet."
is this true????

CINDY IS 5 FEET 2 INCHES
SHE WEIGHES 158 POUNDS
HER WAIST MEASURES 42 INCHES
WHAT IS HER BMI? USING THE BMI INDEX STATE WHAT IS HER HEALTH RISK?
HER WAIST MEASURES 42 INCHES WHAT DOES THIS IMPLY?
CINDY HAS STARTED TO DIET
SHE USED TO EAT 2100 KCAL/DAY
SHE NOW HAS CUT HER DAILY CALORIES BY 500 KCAL/DAY
SHE HAS STARTED TO USE THE TREADMILL AT A LOCAL YMCA. SHE BURNS 500 KCAL ON THE TREAD MILL/DAY
AFTER 1 MONTH HOW MANY POUNDS DO YOU CALCULATE CINDY COULD LOSE? PLEASE SHOW YOUR CALCULATION.
WHAT WOULD BE HER WEIGHT IN POUNDS IN ONE MONTH?
AFTER SIX MONTH SHE CONTINUES TO CUT 500 KCAL/DAY, EXERCISE AND BURN 500 KCAL BY USING A TREAD MILL.
WHAT WOULD BE HER WEIGHT IN POUNDS AFTER 6 MONTHS? USE HER INITIAL WEIGHT 158 POUNDS TO COMPUTE HER LOSS OF WEIGHT AFTER SIX MONTH.
3500kcal must be burned in order to lose 1 pound of fat
Weight loss is calculated by pounds lost/ week
1 month= 4 weeks
6 month=24 weeks

I’m 5′5” and weigh 64,5 kg. I’ve been going to the gym four or five days a week since 4th March, and my routine consists of cardio work mixes with weights.
I change my routine every 14 days and am currently doing 10 minutes on the bike, 20 minutes on the cross trainer, 20 minutes on the tread mill and 2 sets of 15 repetitions on 9 weight machines.
Since I started I have lost just 2 lb. I have cut out all sugary drinks and "junk" food.

I have recently discovered I am classified as an endomorph. Laa-dee-daa. Great! Here’s the deal: I am hovering around the 200 lb mark (I have thankfully dropped 30 pounds in the last few months), hike 3 miles twice a week, do the ab machine and tread mill for 20 minutes 2-3 times a week, running and walking, and do some yoga at least once a week. I unfortunately have a desk job, but have cut down on fast food, swapping it for salads and whole grains, don’t drink pop (only tea) and am battling a cigarette habit. My problem is that my weightloss efforts have stalled over the last month, I haven’t lost any more weight lately and am sick of working my butt off for nothing. My husband is supportive and there is a history of thyroid issues in my family (but my Dr. says I’m fine). Is it time to give up and accept my body for what it is? Or does someone have good ideas for amping up calorie burning for endomorphs?
Lorena April 9th, 2010
I realized that I burn way more calories in the elliptical (about 2x more!), BUT I feel I get more of a work out (meaning that I feel I have to work harder) on the treadmill. So which would be better for weight loss, the one that burns more calories or The one which my work out is harder but I burn less calories.
BTW: When I’m on the tread mill I go for about 30 min on speed 3.5 with short sprints here and there
Lorena April 8th, 2010
I have been exercising 3 X a week for 30 – 60 minutes on a treadmill & burning 300 – 400 calories. I have been walking with weights too on the tread mill quite heavy ones but I am not noticing any change in 4 weeks. In fact when I weighed in it looked like I might be an oz heavier. I weighed myself on an electronic scale last time would this have made a difference?
I am thinking to just diet instead as the exercise is not only killing me but I am not seeing any results.
n.b. I am holding hand wieghts while I walk.

I am 15 and I make 16 on June 26. I am 5′10" and I weigh about 275lbs. I need to know If it was alright to use any weight loss pill to lose enough weight just to reach my target weight of 175-200lbs. I need to loose enough weight to get in shape to do alot of stuff in school next year in JROTC. After I loose the weight I would be used to exercising and eating right so I would not gain the weight back, well not all of it. Plus since I found out that I could lose up to 5lbs in one day just by walking on the tread mill for 1 hour about how much would i lose if i were using weight loss pills? I somewhat exercise now I just need a little boost loosing it faster thats all.
Lorena April 6th, 2010
Why is it that I always lose 5 pounds the first week of weight watchers and tread-milling? And then I always can tell I’m losing more, but the scale never shows it.
I know Ive read not to look at the scale and to look at how your clothes are fitting and stuff, but its so frusterating!
I dont really consider it a plateau because I know im losing more.
Esp. when ppl notice your losing weight, and they say "How much have you lost" And I hate saying 5 lbs bc i know it was more than that. So i usually just respond with "I dont weigh myself" any suggestions? Thanks.
thanks all!!! I am def. going to do the tape measure thing!
Lorena April 5th, 2010
I’ve been going to the gym for about 3 weeks, when I use the tread mill, it has a ideal heart rate of 118-126 for weight loss. If I stay in this range, I don’t necessarily break a serious sweat. I actually need to crank up to about 130+ to get a sweat going.
Also, I’m just speed walking in the weight loss range…..
FYI- I burn -300-600 calories depending on what weight routine I’m doing for the day.
Lost 15 pounds so far….
Lorena April 4th, 2010

how much weight can you really lose on a tread mill?
Lorena April 4th, 2010
Every person who wants to lose weight should read this article. Yes, I know it says “Fat loss for beginners”, but sometimes even experts forget what they once knew or don’t work what they truly do know. If you’re a newbie, this will be an introduction. If you’re experienced, permit this be a reminder.
1. Simply just get started – take Definitive action!
There are a great number of viewpoints about how to lose body fat that many people find themselves completely confused and they don’t do ANYTHING!
They’ve go through about 130 ways to diet, 27 ways to do cardio, 1002 ways to lift weights and 56 vitamin supplements to take. But they still don’t have a idea how to start off.
You stuff your brain with so much information it feels like it’s going to explode, but then you never do anything about it. You’re like a deer stuck in headlights. Sound familiar?
I call this the “paralysis by analysis” situation. The biggest thing you can do is take actions. Just begin the voyage and figure it out as you go. Better however; get a coach just from the start.
In fact, fat loss is not that complex. You don’t ought a PhD in workout physiology to learn that any exercise is better than no exercise. You don’t have to be a wizard in nutritional biochemistry to realize that an apple is far better than a Donut.
Getting lean is very simple: Exercise. Eat healthier foods. Eat smaller meals. Isn’t this stuff just a wise practice? Didn’t your mother tell you this?
So what’s preventing you? What causes you freeze up? If you’re like most people, Fear and anxiety is preventing you. You’re so fearful of doing anything wrong, you determine to do nothing rather than make a error or “start looking foolish.”
What you must figure out is that people today who perform much and people who fulfill very little BOTH have worries. The main difference amongst the two is that the failing feels the fear and lets it immobilize them. The victory feels the fright and does it anyhow.
Get started on the process. You can always fine-tune your program as you go. Normally, it’s far better to intend and then fire, but it’s better to fire and then adjust your aim later than not to fire at all. You can’t win a battle by disappearing in the trenches.
2. If in doubt, walking is a great way to start a cardio program Ok, so you’ve decided to forge forward in spite of your fear and start exercising. Best wishes. Now what? How do you decide between Stairmaster, Tae Bo, Lifecycle, Yoga, Kickboxing, Elliptical machine, jogging, swimming, etc.?
Any exercise is far better than no exercise so quit over-analyzing! Just pick something and start off. Just do it!!!
If you can’t make up your mind, then here’s the simplest, easiest, most guaranteed way for any beginner to successfully start a fat loss program:
Walk!
Here’s precisely why: It requires no equipment. It needs no expertise of exercise technique. It can be done by almost everyone, regardless of practical knowledge. It can be realigned to any fitness level. It can be done just about anywhere you want to. It’s safe. For each one of these reasons, walking is the just right way to start. Nonetheless, the better your condition becomes, the more you’ll need to progress to greater levels of exercise concentration to achieve higher levels of health and fitness.
I’m not saying you should get away from walking, but if you make up your mind to maintain walking, a everyday stroll will not anymore do. For an experienced exerciser, I’d consider walking a process of locomotion more than a serious workout.
There’s a tremendous difference between walking for health vs walking for weight-loss. Even a 10 or 15-minute everyday walk has health benefits. But if you would like to turn walking into an efficient, fat-melting training, you’ll need to force yourself for 30 minutes or more several days per week. Walking quickly uphill (or on an inclined treadmill) is an amazing fat-burning workout for everyone.
3. Don’t get trapped in minutia – focus on basic principles
Read any kind of book about good results and it will show you “be aware to detail.” Sounds like very good advice – unless you haven’t acquired the fundamentals yet. In that case, it’s the worst type of advice you could follow.
Each day people send me questions like these: “Should I go with a rapid acting protein powder like whey or would casein be better? What if I mix both and also add a little bit of Soy? If I use them all, what ratio of the three would be suitable and when should I take them?”
“I want to do the ephedrine-caffeine stack and it says to take 20 mg of ephedrine with 200 milligrams of caffeine. The ephedrine comes in 25 milligram tablets, so should I chip a little bit off the tablet to get the right ratio?”
Do you see the issue here? These are legitimate questions, but they’re entirely moot if you’re consuming doughnuts and sitting on the couch the entire day. Correct your diet and get your butt moving first, then worry about the tiny things.
Emerson said, “The height of the pinnacle is determined by the breadth of the base.” The heights you accomplish will depend completely on how extensive a foundation you build. Good coaches such as Vince Lombardi and John Wooden credited most of their success to positioning their players on fundamentals.
Forget about supplement doses Here’s my recommendation to you: Forget about macronutrient cycling. Forget about “supplement stacking” . Forget about tempo manipulation. Forget about glycemic indexes Forget about the latest Bulgarian or Russian periodization program Forget about ALL the minutia until you have the fundamentals down cold!
Master the fundamentals first! The fundamentals of fat loss consist of:
If you’re not doing all this stuff, and you’re looking for the best supplement stack or the the best periodization plan, you’re barking up the drastically wrong tree.
I don’t want you to believe that details don’t matter – they do. The “Law of Accumulation” says that each and every success is a subject of hundreds or even thousands of teeny endeavours that often go unnoticed or unappreciated. Everything counts. Everything either helps or hurts. Almost nothing is neutral.
The challenge is when you get bogged down in minutia before you’ve even realized the basics. Small details develop slight results. Major basics create major outcomes.
Don’t key in small things. Lay your foundation first, then move on to the finer points. And keep in mind, as Jim Rohn pronounces, always be dubious of somebody who says they’ve identified a “new fundamental.”
The most important dietary issue in fat loss is not how many grams of carbohydrate, protein or fat you eat, the most beneficial factor for weight loss is calories. Eat more than you burn off each day and you will store body fat. Eat a lesser amount of than you burn daily and you will lose fat. It’s just that uncomplicated.
Where the calories come from is important too, but unless you have an understanding of the calorie concept, nothing else makes a difference.
I’m appalled at how lots of people declare to seriously want to lose weight who admit they haven’t a clue what number of calories they eat. Get serious! If you don’t have the slightest idea simply how much you’re eating, how could you assume to make any improvement?
Did it ever occur to you that your Solely problem might be overindulging! Do you realize that an excessive amount of of anything gets stored as fat? That’s right – even if you’re eating practically nothing but “natural and healthy” foods, if you eat too many of them, you’re still going to get fat.
Portion control, my friend, portion control! On the other hand, if you’re under-eating you may possibly be scaling down your metabolism. There’s a fine line.
