Any Tips to Lose Weight & Burn Belly Fat?

Question

I'm overweight (a lot) and have finally taken steps to lose it - I signed up for a gym membership! This is week 2 of going almost every day and using the treadmill, but so far I haven't really lost any weight. Any tips on how to kick it in the ass?

Answer

Cardio will only get you so far. Lift weights! Get comfortable in the weight section and keep it up. You'll see much better results from weights than you will just doing cardio. You might want to check out if the gym has any cheap packages for personal training and get just a few to introduce you to weight lifting.

Answer

Just keep at it. Weight loss comes with consistency! You might not see results right away but keep going. If exercise alone isn't helping though, I would look at your diet and see what changes need to be made.

Answer

Try to eat very portions, but more times a day e.g. 6 small meals per day. It will boost your metabolism and minimize food cravings. Also try jogging outside instead of on a treadmill in the gym. Jogging on a treadmill often gets boring and it's hard to motivate yourself. I enjoy jogging on scenic routes much more than a treadmill. You can also try HIIT training! It works like cardio but builds muscle as well. Good luck 💖

Answer

Portions!! A trim mid section is about what you put in it. You could do all the crunches in the world and not lose weight because the muscles are there. Just underneath the excess. So I suggest eating right, maybe sign up to weight watchers. Keep on going to the gym. Remember rest days! And don't give up. Good on you girl!

Answer

For me I got the app for my phone couch to 5k. It allows you to build up your stamina and doesn't allow you'd body to really get used to a routine (which can actually prevent you from losing weight I was told, could be true). Anyways you just do it three times a week and it helped me. I actually should probably start that up again anyways, it will take time. You typically want to lose 1lb to 2lbs at the most a week. Anymore and it's easier to gain the weight back (that's what one of my athletic/fitness buff friend told me). Sorry for the long reply, hope it helps! And good luck, and have fun doinging it, it makes it easier!
