Olivia. I'm super protective of my friends, they are all my heros. I don't take shit from anyone but I'm still a really nice person, I swear.
advice
I want to have nice arms, I have pretty big muscles already but theres also a lot of fat, how do I lose all that fat on there without making it muscle, I don't want huge arms.
The only way to lose weight without losing your muscle tone is to do cardio regularly (and eat right). This shouldn't make your muscles a lot bigger, just stronger. Even lifting, in moderation will help you develop lean muscle without bulking up. In short, if you exercise and cut back on calories you should get smaller, not bigger regardless of what kind of exercise you do.
I need help with a diet that is quick, easy, and exercise that I can do every day. I go to school, come home, go to work till 6:30 come home and do homework. Also I have a 8 month old son. So my schedule is already packed pretty tight. Is there anything I can do??? HELP!!! I weigh like 200 lbs. and im 5'6. HELP!
In general, try to make sure you're eating healthfully but if you want to lose weight exercise is essential. If you can fit in runs (can you afford a jogging stroller for your son?) that'd be ideal but if not just try to fit in any exercise wherever you can. It sounds obnoxious and trivial but really, take the stairs, park far away, carry your son with you (he gets heavy, no?), take walks with him, do squats, lunges or push ups while you're cooking or cleaning or if you ever find yourself standing around. Even if you just cut junk food out of your diet for a little while your cravings for it should disappear and you'll feel better about yourself. i promise.
what would be the best way to build more muscles in yoru legs? and the best way to get abs. And make you have faster footwork for sports
jumping rope is great for pretty much everything. other plyos, like those rope ladders where you have to touch one foot between each rung or both feet and you go through them really fast are good for foot work (i can explain that better if you don't know what i'm talking about). As for abs, just do circuit abs (planks, side planks, bicycles, crunches, abs supermans, and the ones that work your lats for 30seconds each. work your way up to 45 seconds or a minute) every other day. I'm thinking that if you google 'ab exercises' and search past all the ads you'll find some good exercises to mix things up. For muscle in general, try running, and if you can, lift weights. Lifting makes a huge difference.
im planning on buying 6 second ab.. anyone who has/had experience, could you tell me if it acutally works like it says so on tv?
Just do regular abs; 30 seconds each of abs, crunches, supermans, planks, side planks, bicycles, etc. every other day, working your way up to 45 seconds/ a minute and spend your money on a new swimsuit to show them off :) If don't know many exercise besides crunches to work your abs just google 'ab workouts' or something similiar and i'm sure you'll find pictures and instructions.
ok well im trying to shape up my claves and what i do is well like you know if you have a shower where u stand and stuff well like the little part before you get in is about like 3,4 inches high well i stand on that with the balls of my feet and like go up and yeah if i do 100 of those aday is that good or should i do something else to shape up my calves before summer if so what? and what else can i do to lose weight on my thighs stomach and upper arms. please help ill rate.
Calf raises are GREAT for shaping calves, try doing them in sets of 25; 25 normally, 25 with your toes pointing inwards, 25 with your toes pointing out (75 in a row, no breaks between sets). That makes sure you work all your calf muscles. In order to SEE results (depending on your build some of your muscle might be kind of hidden..mine definitely is- but i'm changing that) weight loss is definitely important so try to fit in regular cardio exercise. If you're eating healthfully a combination of cardio and, if possible, weight training, will tone your body very effectively. Just be patient.
p.s. Shape magazine has tons of good work outs and motivators.
