I think running or swimming are great for aerobic fitness
and weight loss in the long term,
but with any exercise you might gain muscle and some weight before you actually lose any weight.

If I had to do that, I would probably eat less, but more often,
with smaller portions, eat more fruits and vegetables,
and less other stuff, no sweets, and run or walk once or twice a day.

anything aerobic is best for weight loss. 1 hour exercise period to include stretching and warm up, strength training, aerobics, and cool down. aerobics should be 20-30 min. you can do this 3 days a week. aerobic exercises is anything like running, swimming, biking, step, aerobics. good luck.

Ok, first, change your diet. Eat five small healthy meals a day, with fruit, veg, fish, meat, and some fats, but no sweets or chocolate, or anything with saturated fats.

Excersise, try to get an hour of aerobic excersise a day, this can vary from running, swimming, cycling, cross training. Swimming is best for an overall body workout.

Hope it helps:)

To lose weight quickly, you need high intensity exercise. You need to get your heart rate up to 80-90 of your max HR. (220 – your age).

Bill Phillips, the author of Body for Life recommends this workout.

2 minutes jogging at level 5 intensity (10 being an all out sprint)
1 minute at level 6
1 minute at level 7
1 minute at level 8
1 minute at level 9
Repeat 3 more times

After 1 minute of level 9 for the fourth time, do an all out level 10 sprint for 1 minute, followed by a one minute cool down at level 5.

Do this 4 times per week.

BTW – People will try to tell you that long slow training is the best. That is definitely true for long term weight loss. But for quick weight loss you need to get your heart rate up. Research shows that the higher you get your heart rate during exercise, the longer your metabolism stays elevated after the workout is complete.

Also, stay away from swimming. It is a great form of exercise, but for rapid weight loss stay away from swimming. Research has shown that running is far superior to swimming or cycling for weight loss. The reason being, that running increases you body temperature higher than the other two sports. The increase in body temperature has the effect of surpressing appetite longer and therefore more weight loss.

treadmill seems to be the answer when one can not hike a hill due to weather. Make sure you see a dr first. Make sure you do not over exceed yourself.
On shows like the biggest loser I worry about some of them dropping dead! over the exercise first rather than the weight. I know my comment there will seem counterintuitive.

Running, boxing, wrestling, jumping rope, group aerobics (high intensity), swimming, vigerous biking are some of the highest calorie burners. If you are stuck with normal gym equipment – running on the treadmill burns the most calories (the trade off is stress on your joints, but that’s anohter story).
Regimen = get to your target heartrate, and maintain it at least 20-30 mins every day doing any of the above mentioned activities. Add a resistance training (weight lifting) program before your cardio for even better/faster results. And of course healthy balanced diet high in protien and complex carbs, thats a given.

hi i think cardiovascular exercises are great for it that include cycling and jogging another tip see we say that starchy foods are fattening we are wrong it’s the oil we fry potatoes in is fattening not potatoes,it’s the butter that we spread on bread that is fattening not bread so cut down on the fats.and try drinking lot of lemon juice try eating apple it will fill your stomach though it’s not tasty but it’s worth you know to gain something you have to lose something to lose weight lose your appetite.
