Fastest Way to Lose Weight


Question Posted Saturday April 15 2006, 11:17 pm

Is jumprope the way to go? I heard 5 min of it is like running 2 miles. Although, it doesn't really use the same muscles and it's good to use different ones sometimes, right? But in magazines it says to switch sets or something and I can't keep track of all that so would it be good to swim one day, jumprope the next, walk/run the other, bike, etc?

This is a pretty good question. First off- never listen to what a magazine says, just don't lol.

I like the jumprope idea- I think it gives a good cardio workout and really helps to sharpen coordination skills and muscle memory. It's not like running 2 miles either. I would say to find what exercise you like the best whether its jumprope or running or swimming and make that your cornerstone exercise and incorporate other exercises as well. Jumping rope is definitely good though.

Honestly there is no fast or easy way to lose weight. Even with the same routine, the results may differ from one person to the other.
Going through a fitness routine,
First, know what you want to achieve. (leaner arms, firmer abs, etc)
Second, you have to know your body well. Do this by monitoring your workout. (how you feel before/after workout, how long can you last through a routine, etc)
Finally, DON'T GIVE UP!

In any kind of fitness condition, cardio workout is highly recommended. If you experience back and knee problems, go for low impact (cross trainers, swimming- virtually no impact). This will condition your body for other workouts.3 times a week, an hour each time.

Plus, get into specific muscle toning and strengthening exercises.

You'll not only lose weight, you'll look and feel great!

Hope this helps....

i think its better if you do more than one exercise.like switch them up.. so you can work on different muscles.. like you siad do one thing one day and then the next thing the nex t day..
i Personaly dont htink that the jumprope thing is true.. beacuse all your really doin is using like your leg muscles to jump.. and for 5 minutes. you would get a better work out wehn you run the actual 2 miles..
& hoPe i HelpEd
