Quick question ladies, I want to know if my exercise routine is enough to begin losing. I mostly use a cardio step-aerobic tape thats about 40 minutes. I usually do my tape for 3 days and walk 3 miles on the track near my house. Is this enough activity?
hey there!...Yes that sounds great! your activity level should be enough to burn at least 300 cal.....which is about 30min of working out..intensly...yours sounds wonderful!!! the 3 miles is awsome...i usually run around 2 miles and walk the last one...sometimes to burn MORE calories when i walk i put on leg weights...which you can find at any place that sells excercise equitment..hope I helped
Thank you ladies for the advice. Just needed some input. Now if I can just get this eating thing under control. I do not eat salad, no way, no shape, no form. Tried and Tried cant do it. I have been cutting back, smaller portions.
I don't eat salad, but I'm slowly forcing myself to eat veggies in meals. I'm introducing one new thing a week - make a stir fry or something with stuff I do like and slip and extra bit in to try to get used to it.
Last week leeks were introduced (as well as quinoa, but that's not veg), this week mange tout and baby sweetcorn have made an appearance.
Maybe try soup- my alternative to the salad and a great way to get veggies in as long as you pick a veggie style soup and stay away from chowders. Most are naturally lower in calories.
I think your work out sounds good. When it start to feel to easy, just up it. what step tape do you do? i still do the old reebok step fromt he 90's it fun...
Anyway, I dont' think you need to eat salad to lose weight. a lot of times salads at restraunts have more calories than entrees. and lettuce doesn't really give you much in the way of nutrition. But you do have to get fruit and veggies in some how to have a balanced diet. do you like cooked veggies?
Am I doing this Right
