Work Out Plan / Eating healthier.
I've decided I want to be more in shape and eat healthier. I don't neccasarily need to loose weight, 5'4" - 135 lbs. But I just want to tone up and eat better. Can anyone suggest work out plans / healthy eating habits / or websites to give me this information? It is greatly appreciated, getting ready for summer/prom =]
Thanks<3

1. Do circut training at least three times a week. What you do is you combine cardio workouts (jogging, jumping jacks, jumping rope, running, etc.) with strength toning exercises (crunches, weights, etc.). Gradually work your way up if you're a novice from 30 minutes up to an hour for every suceeding week.
The cardio burns the calories, and doing toning exercises directly after the cardio focuses the calorie burning in the desired area. It's very effective.
2. Drink a lot of water. The recommended amount is 8 glasses a day. That is a lot to ask for, but try your best by drinking a glass before a meal, during a meal, and after a meal. It gives you the impression that your stomach is full, so you can tone down your appetite when you eat.
3. Believe it or not, eat more often once you begin to adapt this lifestyle, I'd say after three or four weeks. Why is because once your body begins getting used to your active lifestyle, your body will need more energy in order to keep up with you. Where does energy come from? Food.
4. As for websites, there are plenty out there. There aren't any I can recommend off the top of my head, but explore official websites like magazine sites of Self magazine, etc.
Hope this helps.

hey well this is a sort of list my sister has made up to get herself ready for the same upcoming things. i follow things like this mentally, too.
1. only eat when your hungry, and only till full. also, try eating 2-3 meals a day that are healthy foods and portions. if you are a snack person instead of the cookies or chips try a apple or some yogurt.
2. excersize daily. this one is pretty much self explanitory. find a type of excersize you yourself really enjoy, and try doing it everyday. also, try doing some sit ups or crunches before you go to bed or in the mornings.
3. i've also heard that getting lots of sleep can also help you loose weight. i've been trying to get enough sleep myself lately, and it's hard, but really really try getting at the least, 9hours each night.
