How does one go about losing 10-20 pounds?
I am a 16 year old girl [5'2", 140 pounds] seeking to lose 10-20 pounds for the summer. I would like an exercise plan and a meal plan but I don’t know where to start and how to achieve my goals. As in, what exercises should I do, what foods should I eat or what foods shouldn’t I eat. Any help is appreciated.
First of all, at your age, you need to make sure you are getting all the valuable vitamins and nutrients needed. As for exercise, the main idea is to sweat. If you’re not sweating, you’re not losing weight. To avoid spending money on high-tech workout suits and such, just put on heavy/ layered clothing. A nice start would be stationary bike or treadmill at an increasing pace or uphill. A sauna for 30-60 mins at a time can get you a good sweat also. Last, but not least; running. Start out at a brisk walk week one (mon, wed, fri). Week two, move to a slow jog for 1 mile (mon, wed, fri). Week three, move to a brisk jog for 1 mile (mon, wed, fri). If you feel fine after week three, increase your distance, and then your pace. After 6-8 weeks, you should be running 2 miles at a nine minute per mile rate. Because you are attempting to sweat as much as possible during your workouts, MAKE SURE you are hydrating via water AND sports drinks (gatorade, powerade). Eat 4-5 small meals daily versus 3 large meals. Consume as little sweets and carbohydrates as possible. Never eat/drink late at night; not within 2-3 hours of going to sleep. Note: If you are a couch potato, jog in place or do crunches during ALL commercial breaks. You’ll be amazed with the results. Also, when doing any cardiovascular activities, try to workout for at least 25 continuous mins. Good luck!
