OK, well, I really want to start losing weight, again. Now, when I did it before, I tried pills, fad diets & aerobics. The only thing that really takes the weight off of me are the strength training exersizes. You know, like the machines they have at curves. Not just aerobics alone. So, my problem is... I really can't afford to join a gym right now. So, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I could use at home to tone my muscles while I lose the weight? Thanks.

It should really help, and what can also help is maybe just to run in the park for awhile! Hope I helped [ Veranex's advice column | Ask Veranex A Question ]
Anq3L_xO answered Saturday October 21 2006, 2:52 am: In order to lose weight, you have to make sure that you have a steady low-carbohydrate diet, avoid starches, breads, sugars, rice etc. Also include a cardiovascular exercise before every workout. This should be 10-15 minutes of running, jumping jacks, anything to get your heart going. After that, you want to maybe to some crunches, squats, leg lifts, push-ups, and or any other exercises you want to do. After that, have a little cool down jog, or some jumping jacks for about 5-10 minutes. Do this 3-5 times a week and you could start seeing major results in 2-3 weeks. Good luck. -Angel [ Anq3L_xO's advice column | Ask Anq3L_xO A Question ]
Anamarie answered Friday October 20 2006, 12:26 pm: well you should start running everyday, maybe start running one mile, and then start doing 2. It really helps to tone your legs. If you want a tighter stomach, the only thing I can think of is crunches, or V- sits. The way you do a V sit is that you sit on the ground, extend your legs out in form of a V, lift them off the ground, and practically just do situps while they're off the ground. I hope this helped.
