What would be a good weight-loss workout for a 20 yr old female?

I broke my hip in a car accident about 4 years ago and it tends to be a little sore so I would like some advice on exercises that would help me lose weight, with out added stress to my hip.

Seemingly everyone is trying to lose weight these days using a wide variety of diet and exercise strategies. Although men and women have the goal of weight loss very much in common, they also have quite different needs when it comes to achieving results. Since you are female and you will not be able to do all the exercises due to your sore hip, here is some useful info.

To begin with, the metabolism of a woman is very different from that of a man. Men have higher levels of testosterone (and other hormones) as well as more muscle and less body fat than women. Because of this, women have a much harder time losing weight because they have naturally higher levels of body fat and hormones (such as estrogen) which make the storage of bodyfat even easier. Overall, the only way to lose weight if you are a woman is to eat less food than a man, but exactly how much?

The best place to start is by figuring out exactly how much you want to weigh and then determine how many calories you will need to eat to achieve that weight. The basic rule of weight loss is to burn off more calories than you consume so no matter what your starting weight is you will need to create a deficit either by eating less or exercising more.

Once you know exactly how many calories you need to eat, the next step will be to figure out what types of foods work best for you. A good rule of thumb is to always try and eat as many healthy natural foods as you can. Additionally, you will want to ensure that your portion sizes are under control. Many women are very surprised when they discover how small a proper portion size is, so in the beginning you will likely have to pay close attention.

After you have modified your eating habits, the next step will be to begin a regular exercise routine. Most women that are new to dieting and weight loss get intimidated by the idea of a complicated exercise program. If this sounds like you, why not start with something as simple as walking? Walking burns off a considerable amount of calories and exercises the entire body. After you have built up some strength and stamina you may want to consider adding additional forms of exercise, such as Pilates or yoga.

Although weight loss for women can be very difficult, keep in mind that the most important determining factor in your success will be perseverance. Try block out the unrealistic images of the female body that are portrayed in pop culture all around us. Stay focused on yourself and you are very likely to achieve your goals of weight loss and greater health.
Good luck and hope I helped!

What’s the easiest ways to lose stomach thigh and back fat?

I want to lose It before I got back to school in September. I know I won’t lose all of it but at least enough for a real noticeable difference in my weight loss. I want to lose my thigh and stomach fat and back. What’s the easiest way to lose this within 2 months

weight loss cardiff answers:

I would like share 3 simple exercises to lose belly fat quickly at home. If you ask me what is the fastest way to lose weight and how to lose abdominal fat, I will surely recommend these 3 simple exercises :

1) Sit Ups

Yes, sit ups. People have been saying that sit ups are useless because you cannot get the maximum effect. However, this is because they have done something wrongly. One major reason if because after doing sit ups, they do not stretch their stomach muscle as well as go for a 15 minute jog or walk. After doing sit ups, it is very easy to lose weight and belly fat by walking or jogging.

2) Leg Raise

Among all the exercises to lose belly fat, I will highly recommend you to do leg raise because it can lose the lower stomach fat. It is very effective when combines with sit ups because sit ups will burn the upper stomach fat while leg raise will help you to lose the lower belly fat.

3) Jogging

As what I have said just now, jogging or walking for about 15-30minutes after doing the above workouts will give you the maximum effect. Walking to lose weight after doing the above workouts is very effective because your body have been stimulated to burn more energy at the stomach and the energy is converted from your belly fat. So, you can lose your belly fat, effectively.

Hope that you can follow the exercises above, it is very easy and only takes less than 1 hour commitment every alternate day. Besides working out, you will also need to have a balanced diet. I will recommend Calorie Shifting diet.

Jenny asks…

Weight for a 16 year old- be honest?

So about 2 weeks ago, I gained some weight and hit 140 pounds. My weight fluctuates a lot, but this was the first time I hit 140. Anyways, after I saw that, I watched what I was eating (no chocolate, chips, i don’t drink soda or eat greasy foods) and went back to my regular exercise routine for a while and I dropped back down to 133 pounds.
I didn’t starve myself or anything lol don’t worry. I always ate (still do haha) breakfast, and ate 2 sandwiches during the day (about 2-3 hour interval between the two sandwiches), and I generally don’t eat too much for dinner, maybe a shake with veggies, lowfat yogurt, and 2% fat milk.

This probably sounds somewhat methodical to some of you who are reading this, but because I tend to gain weight easily and lose it somewhat easily as well, I do my best to watch what I eat. Oh and I don’t really mix well with oily foods (hamburgers, pizza, fries) b/c I get nauseous when I eat them, so that helps with watching my weight.

Now onto the somewhat more serious part:
Currently, I am at 133 pounds and 5’3 and a half inches tall.
I have a somewhat muscular build (i can’t really describe it, but I’m able to do 80 crunches, 30 pushups, nearly 10 pullups. so try to imagine the build i guess?)
I do believe some of my muscle results in a slightly heavier weight. But recently, my parents have both been telling me that I need to lose weight. Even after I’ve explained to them that based on my bmi, I’m at an okay range, they still look at me as if I’m nearing obesity. It really hurts that I can’t bring up this type of conversation with them without hearing “Go lose weight, stop eating so much, etc.”
Even at a younger age, I was somewhat heavy, and ‘bigger’ than some of the other kids at school. I was never chubby, just more of a muscular build.

In middle school, I tried a few times to completely cut down on what I ate and would limit myself to very little food. I saw weight loss in terms of pounds. My parents, however, told me that I wasn’t eating enough now, and that I needed to eat properly. Hearing these sort of mixed signals would completely throw me off, and so I stopped going to them for advice on a bunch of different things.

My parents aren’t bad people, it’s just that I feel like when it comes to my weight, they see me as being fat and heavy and not at all healthy. I feel like they compare me to all the other skinny asian girls who are stick thin. Am I supposed to really reach that point to be considered “healthy”?

For those of you who read this entire story/question, thank you so much for taking the time. I just want your honest thoughts and opinions regarding this situation. Do you think I should lose weight? And do you think that I really am at an unhealthy point in my life?

weight loss cardiff answers:

You actually sound very healthy. I’m 15, 5’8 and 131 pounds, I get called lanky, but your figure sounds great! And if you can do that amount of muscle exercises you must be in good shape!

I think you need to go through your health with a nurse or your GP. Maybe to talk about if your diet is sensible etc. I think your diet sounds great, and very healthy, but you should discuss your weight with your GP or school nurse because they can tell you if you’re healthy.

If you don’t want to, all I can suggest is take my word. I think you sound totally healthy and in great shape! I wouldn’t worry what your parents say, when I was at my biggest they used to tell me I was big, but now I’ve lost 2 stone, they tell me I’m too thin! They can never make up their minds and they constantly worry, its just what parents are like I guess, but you shouldn’t listen to everything they say otherwise you will never get anywhere in life.

weight loss cardiff answers:

After breakfast, make water your primary drink. At breakfast, go ahead and drink orange juice. But throughout the rest of the day, focus on water instead of juice or soda. The average American consumes an extra 245 calories a day from soft drinks. That’s nearly 90,000 calories a year — or 25 pounds! And research shows that despite the calories, sugary drinks don’t trigger a sense of fullness the way that food does.

Charles asks…

how can you lose weight without getting too skinny for football?

well i am 14 years old. i played in my football team last year. next year i am going into highschool. i weigh too much. the thing is i get in my excersizes but i eat too much. this got me as big as i am. its not good. but it is good for football. because of all the excersizes i do and how much i weigh it seems that my legs have really “learned” how to put up with it. because of this the muscle on my leg is pretty damn big. i feel as if that if i lose weight i could really run a lot faster. right now i run a 8.1 on the 50 meter dash. i know its not great but most of the fat kids put up a 9 or a 10. the last time a ran it i put up a 7.9 but it really wasnt official since my friend clocked it. well basically how do i lose weight without making it so people could easily take me down. because i think that i am strong because of my fat.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Continue to work out and eat less. The foods and amounts you eat is what will keep you heavier than you want to be.
