insanity


Question Posted Sunday July 7 2013, 12:03 am

I weigh 140lbs, I am 18 years old and i am 5'2 ft. I exercise almost everyday with atleast 30 min of cardio but no matter what I do I dont seem to loose weight. I want to know if doing Insanity will help me since I need to burn 20 lbs. My waist is 26 in. I want to know based on my weight and height and if I follow a good nutrition plan how many lbs will I be able to burn when in 2 months. will I reach my goal?

Before you go on some insane crash diet you need to check something out.

You say you exercise almost everyday. By doing so you may have turned fat into muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. By average your weight for your height and weight you are at the high end of a women your height who is large framed.

If you have traded muscle for fat you are no longer average and do not fall into the category of any of the standard weight charts. You need to have you BMI measured to find out just where you weight falls.

If you exercise at a health club one of the physical trainers can do this for you or your doctor can do this for you. Knowing this is important before you try to lose weight.

Besides losing weight, if needed, you need a proper exercise plan. One that will not build muscle but will help you lose weight if need be. Here again a personal trainer at the gym or fitness club can help. Then consulting a nutritionist can help with meal planning.

Your desire to be 120 lbs. may actually put you under weight which is actually worse than being overweight. So consult first with either your doctor or a fitness instructor to find out what you BMI is and what your weight should be. Then decide if you need to lose weight and how much.

This is a much safer way to go about this than to do so blindly.
