lose 10 inches by april

You could do all the crunches in the world but if you have excess fat on your abdomen area then you wont be able to see any of your hard work. Continue to do crunches (research different types of crunches to target different areas) AND get your heart rate up as long and as often as you can each day. Dance, run, skip, cycle - anything that gets you up and moving.

To loose weight you’ll need to eat less fattening foods and more vegetables and fruits. But to loose INCHES you need specific exercises.

Crunches are good for your abs (abdominal muscles) but for your waist you need exercises where you twist and bend - slowly, feeling the pull, not jerky and rapid. For hips one easy one is just to sit down on the floor, legs and arms straight out, and ‘bump’ your way across the floor, and back again.

Whatever you choose, exercise is the key. Your diet is important, but without specific exercises those inches aren’t going anywhere.

How to LOSE weight?

First, determine from the information below, what your weight should be. Then set yourself goals of a week, 2 weeks, a month, 3 months, 6 months and a year. As you see yourself meeting your goals it becomes easier. Remember, you didn’t gain your weight overnight so don’t expect to lose if overnight. Plus, weight lost slowly is more likely to stay off than weight lost in a hurry.

BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measurement of body fat based on height and weight that applies to both men and women between the ages of 18 and 65 years.

25 to 29.99 Overweight
30 to 34.99 Obesity (Class 1)
35 to 39.99 Obesity (Class 2)

“How can I Lose 1 pound of body weight per week?”

One pound of body fat is equal to about 3500 calories. So to lose 1 pound of weight per week, you need to eat 500 calories/day LESS than you burn.

But it’s not a good idea to lose weight simply by cutting calories. As well as decreasing calories you should increase your daily physical exercise. This helps to burn calories and build more lean tissue which in turn burns more calories.

“What should a minimum calorie intake be?”

As a guide to minimum calorie intake, the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) recommends that calorie levels never drop below 1200 calories per day for women or 1800 calories per day for men. Even these calorie levels are quite low.

Another thing that helps to lose weight is to always eat a good breakfast. That helps to jump start your metabolism which helps start burning calories. Also, try to drink 8 eight ounce glasses of water every day. One before every meal (except breakfast) and before all snacks. That helps curb your appetite which helps reduce caloric intake.
