Weight lose food

PionaLily — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:20:30 GMT

I think while doing exercises if we can eat raw vegetables and fruits to our diet that’s really helpful to lose weight quickly. And also green tea, whole grain, water are really good.

Just do it and see.

Classes?

Potblack — Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:15:24 GMT

Just curious if anyone does any classes at their gym?

I have recently joined a gym with loads of classes and im finding them AMAZING.
I have done [b]Body Combat[/b] (LOVE it!) [b]Body Step[/b] (am too uncoordinated to do it properly) & [b]Body Pump[/b] (MY FAVVVVV)

I am trying out RPM tomorrow & PT Hour which is an hour group training.
Can you recommend any good classes or have any favs?

Best types of exercise to lose the weight?!?!

KittyKat88 — Tue, 27 Sep 2011 18:53:57 GMT

Hi!

So just last week I spent all 7 days of the week sweating like a pig doing the Wii fit for half an hour! By the time Sat weigh in came, I have only lost 700grams...I knows it a loss, but for sweating it out for 7 days.i was a bit bummed!..As a side note, I now realise why i only lost 700grams last week (that time of the month, damn!!.) Anyway, I was feeling very frustrated cause I want to get some exercise, but I dnt really want to walk (only because last time I did that random people drove past and throw stuff at me :angry: :crying: .My TF consultant suggested swimming? School holidays are on atm, But this is something I wouldn't mind trying. Any thoughts?

I have also tried skipping, but that didn't last long. lol

My Councillor gave my a copy of Zumba to try out. I love it, but i dnt think im very coordinated! :hehe: After reading another thread about Wii Zumba, My bf and I are going to buy a copy tomorrow to try out.

But my Question is; Has anyone got any suggestions of good exercise/s to do to help lose the weight? thanks :)

Hungry today!!

KIM_BRENDAN — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 16:11:55 GMT

Hi guys!

I would like to know if anybody does physical work for their job - I'm a truck driver for Coles online.

My day today was pretty full on, what I want to know is: if your day is more physical than others do you feel more hungry?

I usually am okay, but today I was hungry. I just drunk more water..

Anybody else find this, or is it just me?!? :P

daily walk - is that enough?

8675309cb — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 10:03:27 GMT

Hi!

I'm currently into my third day of Tony Ferguson with an initial weigh-in of 65. I was just wondering how much exercise I would need to be doing daily in order to hasten my results??

Is a 45 minute walk every day with some basic core exercises enough?

Thankyou!!

Program and no exercising

DannielleRaddatz — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 15:24:22 GMT

I have had my acl reconstructed and am not allowed to play sports for a good 6-8 months. I am concerned that starting this program and not being able to exercise excessively for so long will i still lose weight?

Exercise, too much or not enough?

Brookie24 — Sat, 02 Feb 2013 21:29:09 GMT

HI All,

I have just started back on TF this week , I currently do 5 hours of Ballroom dancing a week i am also as of monday will be adding 45mins of aqua aerobics,.

I have been considering adding in hour walks on the days i am not dancing or at aqua but i am unsure if this would be too much? or if it is not enough?

I do currently walk to and from the train station every day so it is not as if i am doing nothing on those days.

any thoughts/opinions?

Thanks
Brooke

Low impact exercise ideas?

stormswept — Sun, 20 May 2012 00:48:49 GMT

I am a disability pensioner- chronic fatigue, pain etc really keen to figure out some simple exercises or stretches and i am pretty much on my own with the idea as cant afford a gym or gym equipment and have days where walking to the mail box is pretty close to impossible.

My question is what do you do? How did you start out?

thanks!

Does anyone go to the Merrylands Jett's in Sydney?

Would love to find a gym buddy! :o)

Exercise!!

Beautiful-inside — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 19:53:18 GMT

I think it's crucial you exercise. Especially if you have a lot of weight to lose. Body balance and body pump are great.

I want to get rid of my stomach and tone up...

I'd hate to lose all my weight and have saggy skin. I think I'd rather be overweight. That's my biggest fear, looking worse than I do now. :w00t:

just got a Cardio Twister - need advice

anng — Sun, 17 Jun 2012 23:25:14 GMT

I have a cardio twister, given to me - but without any instructions.

It is all in one piece and my son tried it first and we found that the steps and the handles can work independently. Is this right? I thought they worked together, that the steps, when pushed, made the handles turn. I don't know whether I've been given a broken one. That's why I need the advice.

How Much Is Too Much?

Shan1209 — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 15:25:14 GMT

Hi all,

Just wondering if there is such thing as too much exercise while on the T F diet?

I go to gym three nights a week and do between a 30 & 45 minute cardio work out (treadmill, bike, rowing machine) and PT sessions the other 3 times a week which mainly consists of strength & core work and most definitely gets the heart rate going.

Any input would be much appreciated :)

what is the best exercise to get rid of my hips and bum

zeldana — Fri, 08 Apr 2011 20:33:39 GMT

hello every one i am slowly loosing weight about 1Ib a week but im not loosing anything off my hips and bum can anyone suggest a good exercise to help as i cant afford the gym

Thinking of getting a treadmill

sharna — Sat, 03 May 2008 09:31:28 GMT

Well, I've been a gym member on and off since my early 20s (so around 8 -9 years) and 70% of that time has been effective and I have maintained motivation and my weight. But lately, ie. the last couple of years, I have joined gyms and ended up not going. Current example is the $100 a month joint membership hubby and I have that we've not used in 5 months! :w00t:

We also have a very small gym (one treadmill, one exercise bike, one step machine and a weight machine) upstairs in our apartment complex (we are about to sign another 12 month lease) but it can get busy and there is no TV like at the gym.

Soooooo ... I am contemplating getting a treadie and setting it up in the lounge (we have open plan living, so I'd be able to keep an eye on dinner too and watch TV). Speaking to Workout World it seems less than the gym membership per month to either hire (lesser quality treadie) or buy on interest free (you beaut treadie).

We also have a spare room that could hold it once I'm at goal and using it less frequently (I'd need a tele in there though, gosh I am a TV freak but it helps get me motivated to exercise for just "one show").

Thoughts guys??? Anyone done this? I like the idea of hire / interest free finance as I don't have the cash right now to buy one outright.

How much recovery time does my body need?

SecondSolution — Wed, 29 Aug 2012 19:57:17 GMT

Hey, I have just bought an elliptical trainer and had been doing about half an hour each day for 3 days, then i did a full hour the day before yesterday and my body was sooo sore the next morning. I didn't do any exercising apart from some light stretching yesterday and not sure if
I should wait for my body to feel fully recovered from the soreness or if i'm being lazy and making excuses not to exercise?
Any advise would be appreciated, i'm pretty new to working out :P
thanks!

Will exercise increase the cm I lose?

lulubelle22 — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:26:13 GMT

I like seeing myself get lighter however my main priority is cm's:)

Will exercise help me lose cm off my waist, hips and arms faster whilst still on the TF?

I want a balance cause obviously if I see the scales going up I might get discouraged.

I have the following objectives:P:

CURRENT GOAL

Waist 83cm Waist 65cm
Size 36 Size 34
BMI 26.5 BMI 22.5

I want to incorporate 1 hour of Zumba 3 times a week.

Advice please!

Starting Strength

TaniaC — Tue, 12 Jun 2012 23:54:30 GMT

Hiya,

I'm new to the TF program (Just signed up yesterday) and I was wondering if anyone else is doing this with the SS program? I've been doing SS for 5 weeks and have noticed a massive improvement in my general strength. Which is awesome! And I love working out at the gym and being in the "Grown Up Section" as I call it.

So I do SS 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week (yes, I know I shouldn't but I do want to loose fat) and the 7th day I rest.

For those who don't know the SS program, the man wrote a book and it's just amazing. It makes so much sense and blew my mind. I figured I could give it a shot for 6 weeks and see how I felt and I've upped the weights so much that I feel amazing. It's the lazyness factor of coming home and eating whatever is easy, that is messing me up. Hence Tony Ferguson.

TONY FERGUSON EXERCISE GUIDELINES

Angela TF — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 20:59:09 GMT

Extra food guidelines for exercising

Extra foods should only be consumed on the days when you are completing exercise.

Exercise Intensity	Pre-exercise snack	Post-exercise snack
Low Less than 60 minutes E.g. Walking, yoga etc	½ fruit serve	½ fruit serve
Med 30-60 minutes E.g. Walking at a moderate pace	1 fruit serve	1 Snack option
High 60 minutes or more E.g. Jogging or equivalent (spin or step class)	1 fruit serve	1 extra Snack option (Note: on this day you will be having 2 Snack options)

All Snacks and fruit options are from your daily allowance except for the "extra" Snack during high intensity exercise.

General exercise intensity guidelines

Low: No noticeable increase in breathing or heart rate with constant movement.

Moderate: Will cause a slight increase in breathing and heart rate and may cause a light sweat.

High: Will cause heavy breathing (puffing and panting, and large increase in heart rate.

Exercise and food intake should initially be recorded on a 7 day food and activity diary. If you find that you are not losing weight you might need to adjust your snack allowance as you may not be burning off enough energy during your workout to account for extra food intake.

Pre-exercise ritual and training music

bigaussieguy1407 — Sat, 19 May 2012 22:54:22 GMT

Hey everyone!

What is your pre-exercise ritual? What type of music do you like to listen to while you train?

Before i exercise i do stretches and think about the physique i want and how differant i will look. I tell myself that i will prove the critics wrong and become unrecogniseable to those who know me.

I enjoy any music from breaking benjamin, disturbed, saliva, drowning pool, sevendust etc.

500 calorie burn

mandie17 — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 20:48:14 GMT

Hi Everyone

I read somewhere ages ago that said you have to burn 500 calories a day exercising for weight loss. Has anyone else heard that or can someone tell me what a sufficient number to burn everyday. thanks

toning flabby arms and stomach????? howwwww!!!

Sin Cera — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:43:01 GMT

hi guys,
I was really wondering if anyone had some advice in regards to toning for both arms and stomach.
Currently weighing at 70kg, I have 10kg to go till im at my healthy and ideal weight. I have very loose skin mainly around my stomach and arms, Im only 24 never had kids and am unsure of how to regain proper physical shape, and i can only blame myself. I usually jog 3km, 50-100situps and 50-100 weights (for arms) everyday. I do these with equipment at home. Should I sign up to a gym maybe?? should I consider surgery if it gets worse??

Will it eventually work with persistence, patience is so hard.
Any advice and other exercise suggestions would be great. I weigh 70kg but look 80kg!! :(

Best,
sincera

Wii - Just Dance!

sammymac — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 23:30:20 GMT

Hey everyone!!!

You MUST try Just Dance 3!!!

I got it for Christmas, and I've played it every day for the past 6 days.

For those who don't know about it, you have to follow the dances moves to the person on the screen. You score points based on how accurately you dance.

There's also an exercise program on there which allows you to choose different level programs. I'm currently doing the 'Intense' program where I have to score 3000 'sweat' points per day. Each song you get roughly between 200-400 sweat points. To get 3000 points for the day takes me roughly 30-40mins.

I NEVER exercise! But this is such a FUN way of doing it!!!

Get on it people!!! You'll love it!! :w00t:

Motivational Music

toofatfortahiti — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 18:33:34 GMT

I couldn't find a thread of motivational music, and seeing someone's blog title, I thought I'd start one off with:

Nina Simone - Feeling Good (It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life for me yeah)

Any Runners Out there ?

tonyg — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 16:05:27 GMT

I'm just getting back on the program and just wanted to know if there were any joggers/plodders or anyone doing a lot of excercise and how they have adapted to the program with the extra excercise?

I'll be talking it through with a weightloss consultant but wanted to hear from peoples experiences.:)

Exercise Intensity

Aidail — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 10:54:23 GMT

I'm really bad at judging the intensity of my exercise. My goal is to keep my HR above 120, and it usually sits around 140 when I'm doing my workout. But my breathing changes around a lot so its not much of a guide. So I'm having some trouble judging the intensity to know how much I should be compensating for it. Anyone got any ideas? I know what it says in the book, but its not really helping me.

To exercise or not to exercise?

❤miz..s❤ — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 10:34:23 GMT

Hi everyone

Havent been on the forum in a while as I took a break from TF (long story)

I have read so many posts about exercising stalling weightloss (i realise muscle can way more than fat) and am trying to decide whether to exercise or not.

My current reigme is as follows:

monday -45 min of weight/strengthening exercises
Tuesday - 45 min of moderate intensity pilates

I do this for 6 days and then the 7th day I have a rest

I'm starting TF in a week and am unsure whether to keep the exercise or not. I am going away at the end of may for four weeks and would love to have lost 10kgs by then. I know exercise is healthy etc but I'm worried I would get demotivated if I didnt see the numbers shift on the scales

Exercise and pain..

KittyKat88 — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 03:19:37 GMT

Hi there all,

This is a bit embarrassing for me to bring up, only because most people associate being over weight with having health complications..which has brought me back this diet. 12.9kgs ago, before I started the diet again..I was having chest pains..and it was beginning to become a worry, specially when my doctor told me that I might need to see a cardiologist..:crying:..but my question is...

Is it normal to get chest pains still after exercising? I have just started walking for 30mins each day (local park has paths that are uphill, downhill and flat) and after I get home, if I make a fast twist of my body movements or lay on my side for too long, I get pain around my chest. I asked my doc, and he thought it might be strain on my chest wall..due to the exercise? Any other suggestions? :ermm:

Because of my weight also, my ribs are too far apart, and sometimes (because there isn't much room) my ribs push up against my upper body parts, causing pain..

Its so terrible. I worry about it so much..which then makes me mind run wild and causes more pain..lol.

Thanks in advance :)

Stunting and Cheer Fitness in Brisbane

AndanteGirl — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:56:11 GMT

Hi everyone,

Just thought I'd let everyone on here know that my Cheerleading and Stunt squad Andante is looking for new members. We take people of all levels of fitness and no previous stunting or cheer experience is required. We offer the chance to get fit and lose weight while learning all the skills needed to compete on a state and national level for both stunting and cheerleading. Training is on every Monday night 7:30-9pm at Morningside and new people can start at any time.

Men are particuarly encouraged to get involved in out Group and Partner stunt program which is a great overall workout and lifting other people is a lot more fun and rewarding than lifting weights in the gym. Women are also welcome to join in with the stunting and, if they are up for the challenge, can try out partner stunting with one of our smaller flyers!

For more information, exact training location and the opportunity to try us out for free please contact me at elizabeth.mcaulay@hotmail.com

Thanks,

Liz
