which exercise is better?
Okay, I'm looking at losing weight over a long period of time, so it's not just water weight, and it's a healthy weight loss.
I'm not obese. I'm chubby, and I eat healthy most of the time (I don't eat candy or chocolate, I can't have soft drink so I only drink water & flavoured mineral water and I rarely eat junk food) it's just this exercise I need to think of.
What do you think would be better not only for losing weight, but exercise altogether
Doing 15 minutes (time to increase once I start doing it more) of walking up and down a pretty steep hill, and a walk everyday
or
Doing that exercise where you lie on the ground, lift your legs up and then lower them but don't touch the ground for 5 minutes (time to increase once I start doing it more) and going for a walk everyday

Hey!
This is a difficult one, but here's what I know. I just started exercsing regularly, and what you need to do is pick a plan that you will stick to. Becuase if you pick one that you think will get better results, but give up because its too challenging, then you wont ever get anywhere right?
It looks like you've tried to give this some thought, but I have a suggestion, you need to change it up a bit, because if you do the same thing every day you're going to get bored and one thing to think about is, if you choose to walk outside, what happens when it rains (or snows or whatever)? Will you still go? You can say yeah, but when it is actually raining, you probably wont look so forward to it. Pick something thats fun that you can do rain or shine.
heres what I did, I picked out 20 seventeen magazines and pulled the workout examples out of them (I had the magazines laying around, but you can go to a library or something) and I cut out all of the best exercises (targeting things that I wanted to target ex. abs, core, butt, legs) and glued them onto construction paper, then I chose days of the week (every second day or so) and colour coded them. I managed to get cardio, aerobics and muscle building exercises out of magazines. I've been doing it for a few weeks and it really seems to be working, it just takes 15-20 minutes and I wake up feeling like the parts I targetted actually got a work out (but I don't feel like I just ran a mile and am too stiff to get out of bed).
Walking does increase your calf and sometimes theigh muscles, but if you're going to get out there anyway, run. Running improves cardio.
I would suggest that if you dont like my idea, that you should try both exercises and see which one is more enjoyable for you. And the other thing is you want to target the problem areas. If your legs are the problem, the first one will be okay, but if you have a larger stomach area, then I would suggest something that tones abs. I dont know if the second one does that, the description is hard for me to visualise. So its really up to you to decide.
good job, you are really trying to improve yourself which is a good thing, but make sure you choose the program that will work for you, and if those dont work, try and find one that does! Don't give up until you find one. Good luck, and I hope my ideas help. Love ya!
