Gyming is good for the health, watching both what u eat and what time u eat also helps. Also many people tend to do the wrong things at the gym, i used to spend so much time there but now i just do my required work-out 3 times weekly and i'm good.

I used to be a classic example, but now i'm just shedding pounds every other week and now that i see the results of being fit, i cant stop. It feels good when i feel my stomach now, i can actually define the abs developing. . .  grin grin grin

Here's a few tips:

Exercise areas of your body with the largest muscles more: Legs, stomach/Abs, and arms

Eat smaller quantities and spread your meals out - that way u still eat as much but in smaller quantities across the day [this makes your body burn calories faster]

Do much more weight work than cardio, cardio burns a much lower ratio of calories and only does this over a short period of time. . .  Weight workouts rips the muscles and then the body spend more time and nutirents/calories repairing all the muscles [thats when u feel the pains in your muscles] - the body can end up doing this for the whole 24hrs and so u lose more. Cardio builds your overall endurance, so u can run longer without feeling your heart pounding so hard etc.

Always try to do 15 reps minimum of any exercise or weight lifting workout, even if u feel like u r gonna break, take a break in mid-air and then continue until u hit 15. Take regular 20 second breaks between each 15 reps. . .  As time goes on, you'll be able to push for higher numbers. I started at 15 but now i do up to 50 for some really heavy lifting jobs.

Do more activity daily, stop at a bus stop or two away from your normal stop and just walk the rest of the journey. . .  u cannot imagine how much calories u burn by just walking.

Swim more, it is very very good for blood circulation, and body toning. . .  I could continue but hey, i reckon if u do this, u'll be good.

Finally, you always achieve more when pushed to do so. . .  Get a fitness adviser and work towards a set goal! Their services cost a little extra after your gym subscription, but it helps.

The one that pisses me off most is the large tummy that looks like a bail of cloth, and the lady would still wear tight cloth on it and look like michellin tubeless tire. Not to talk of all the stretch marks associated with it. Yuck! lipsrsealed

Re: Naija Girls Need To Gym For Christ Sake. by lalorescub: 12:23pm On Sep 15, 2009
, Yeah right, l currently weigh 72kg which am seriously bathling to reduce, The era of fatness beign a sign of being rich is gone, now is the era of keeping fit, Our male partners too re not helping matters at all, if ur girlfirend is fat n u dont like it, tell her,let her know and make her work on it.(someone said my boyfriend likes it that way, i pity u,,,stay there and right underneath ur eyes he will stop going out with u,u cant attend a party together,he will start looking for someone slimmer and wellfitted).

Though l love eating a lot, especially sweet things, l pray to God to help me cut down my intake everyday.l noticed if u love eating  alot,it takes away mental alertness and also spiritual alertness which is most dangerous.


Abeg my ladies,if ure fat or ure getting fatter than necessary, and ur guy /man is telling u, he likes it that way, ITS A LIE, he tells u its not about u while its really about u.Even if he likes it or not, its for ur own good, work down that fat and keep fit, trust me he will give u more attention than before.

topup:

So you're criticising other women who you think need to go to the gym, yet you are the one who wants to join soon??

I'm confused, if other women don't want to go to the gym, then they don't have to, what about the ones who are naturally thin??

Gyming isn't ALL about how you look, but keeping healthy, but most of all about a personal choice to change your life.


All this said, I think daily exercise is the key. .

Swimming??
Aerobics??
Dancing??

madam,thanks for the constructive critism.besides,i wasnt criticising anyone.

@ibkaye, respect urself o.

I agree with most of the points written that we need to exercise more and drop the fork.

But women who have had kids will find it difficult to shift the weight(I know you say what about hollywood moms, well they all have plastic surgons, dieticians and personal trainers at their beck and call luxuries your average 9ja mom cannot afford embarassed)

Brisk walking is a fantastic exercise and like Whitelexi so rightly put it, hit the weights because muscles burn more fats.
Re: Naija Girls Need To Gym For Christ Sake. by whitelexi(m): 1:22pm On Sep 15, 2009
Funny stuff is that some girls come on here and talk of guys with pot bellies when in reality, those are the only people they can end up with in a relationship grin grin grin
I even thought my stomach was a bit on the big side but i've seen them date older, shorter men, with even bigger pot bellies! grin grin grin

Stop living such a fake life tongue tongue

Me. . . . I no like F.A.T at all, I do the sensible thing by watchin what i eat o, wether the food is free or not. I do a lot of exercise/sex to keep me trim.
Re: Naija Girls Need To Gym For Christ Sake. by Basildon1(m): 2:36pm On Sep 15, 2009
I could be wrong but i think u might have misunderstood Rokiatu, I actually thot the same, There are enuff 'big' gals on NL that are ready to devour you (no pun intended) for highlighting an issue like this.

No problem here. Just saying while Naija chics should be in the gym, you should be getting English lessons. Just being truthful is all. I mean there are quite a number of us who do work out, you dont see us making noise about it.

anyway you be newbie so whichever way to gain popularity abi? I wish you luck
Re: Naija Girls Need To Gym For Christ Sake. by Nobody: 3:00pm On Sep 15, 2009
Personally I don't like fat ladies,

It's disgusting and totally a turn off to me  

It's good for the ladies to be fit. They look more sexy and attractive.

Likewise the males.
Take Note:
Guys that got pot belles are those ones that drink alcohol a lot, especially beer.

When you start consuming beer consecutively, it develops pot belles.

That is why you see guys looking as if they are pregnant, walking like a TEDDY BEAR  grin Shit men  grin

Source: Too much of beer,   grin

yes, she got the good genes but its not uncommmon for girls to borrow their mum's clothes and shoes.

For one thing, they're most times of very good quality.
