Freshface: Thank you Babs2011 and Ronkebp. The thing is that I skip dinner. So my breakfast and lunch usually don't add up to very much. I also try not to snack at all, just stick to my meals, mainly beans without oil. I try not to do carb more than once a day. The boy is 10mth, so we r not doing exclusive breastfeeding. I just breastfeed for him to help me lose wt (at least 200cal from him lol!). I want to look good for his first birthday party in may!

@HG:pele, welldone jare. How long is your challenge going to last?

Buchika: I use to jump rope a lot before like say 1000jumps at a time but i later leave it for only jogging and brisk walking . Today i tried to jump again but the back of my laps got so sensitive that i could not jump upto 10 times , I got scared. I brisk walk almost every day. Can this be the cause please help.

Hour_Glass:


Just continue trying and trust me you will be very fine. The issue is probably you had some sorta soreness from the walk you did the last time, so give yourself a little rest and continue jumping

got upto 800 this morning

Buchika: got upto 800 this morning

DAZZLING M: Hi y'all! my name is DazzlingM. i came across this thread yesterday and i kinda liked it cos it was motivating and inspiring. am sooo very intrested in losing weight but i honestly can't tell u wat i weigh cos i don't even know. i av started cutting down on my food intake and d kinda food i eat, i guess i can call it dieting. for the little input even as unstable as it is,i can tell there is a difference by my trousers and belt hole and i can't help but wonder wat it would be like if i put my heart n soul into dis weight loss thingy. i av stopped eating late nights,any time after 7pm i don't eat again all i do is take fruits or vegetable and eko but i av nothing concrete for breakfast and lunch. for instance,i ate gala dis afternoon and had boiled plantain for breakfast. can my gala intake affect my dieting plan? cos i eat it when am in a no option level of hunger. i learnt a lot reading on others routine and suggestions and i hope to start up something for myself most especially excercising.

i want to start with a 3month target. pls can u advise me on wat to do?

Thank you.

Buchika: hour glass pls what is the most effective and very simple strength training exercise

agabaI23: Prof. HourG what's up? How body?

You did not work out today?

Hour_Glass:

*clears throat* who is disturbing my peace there nooooowwwww? Oh, its my sweetheart. Howdy?

Workout? You still asking after all that press up I did this morning on you. Bad boy

agabaI23:

I dey as you left me

Hour_Glass:

How did I leave you?

10mins warm up/cool down, 30 mins run/jog on the treadmill, 20 mins on the elliptical trainer, 5 mins sit up/leg raises

I have one more day this week.

Hour_Glass:

There is no strength training that is not 100% effective for the targetted muscle group when done with a proper form and consistently and with a good number of reps/sets. For example there a thousand and one ST for the abs/core, upper body and lower body (the 3 groups you exercise during ST). So depending on which you are targetting among these 3 then we can truly say which more effective and simple. And pls simple is quite relative when it comes to workout.

mightlove: hey peeps, I am loving my body. I now believe the best way to lose weight is to do it gradually and tone up with weights while you lose. My body is so firm. My boobs and every other part of my body looks firm. Yes i still have a tummy but it is going gradually and firming up, it doesnt look flabby. I have lost weight in the past but didnt have a toned body because i achieved it through cardio only. Now i know the the importance of strength training as part of a weightloss program.

agabaI23:
Na you did only sit up. You did not get to press up before you started speaking in tongues

Buchika: am interested on abs/core and by simple i mean something that i can incorporate in to the 45 minutes i allocate to work outs in a day.

modath:

Silly me,I thot it was squat&leg raises u prefer! !!

agabaI23: You don't eat ogbono soup every day. A little to the right, a little to left and a little to the centre. Legies and squaties are nice stuff ;-) You've been awol by the way.
