I am around 5'7'' and i think i am around 145lbs. My scale is not exactly an accurate one but I range around there.
So I thought I really want to get down to 135 lbs before the school starts again so I started jogging and whatnot. I got up to jogging for an hour however something happened to my ankle because i kind of stepped into a ditch and i guess i sprained it or whatever.
Its swalloen and whatnot.
So I am hoping it would get better soon so all I can do for right now is to do sit ups. I usually do 50-100 and I do around 300-700 per day. I dont do them all at once.
Also when my ankle gets better I am planning to jog for an hour at least 4 times a week.
So would that be enough workout for me to drop 10 pounds before the summer's over?
Additional info, added Saturday June 16 2007, 1:44 pm: What I really want is that defined abs. Like a girl six pack kind of thing. Like three lines going on your abs i mean. .

This means contracting your abdominals, tilting the pelvis, and using the abdominals to bring yourself up. Also you should not lead your torso off the ground with your elbows. Lead with your shoulders.
These things more effectively isolate abdominals.
Good job with the jogging. That has so many benefits. That helps with weight loss, and toning your entire body, especially the legs. Cardio is also excellent for abs.
Keep up the good work and eat healthy. Ten pounds is a good goal for weight loss this summer =D [ chlorofume's advice column | Ask chlorofume A Question ]

bLue_in_tHe_faCe answered Saturday June 16 2007, 2:44 pm: Good job jogging so much. That should help alot with weight loss. Crunches too! I do around 200 a day and my abs are toned. You'll see results doing that much. But to help loose weight you really need to eat good. Some times people workout and eat shitty and nothing changed. Sometimes people eat great and don't work out at all and loss some weight. Just get your eating down and you'll be lossing weight. Check out this site..
