SMILINGCOURT
Tammy, I need to ask you something... I Need Advice on what to be doing exercise wise... I am getting kinda flabby, but I think with the right exercises, it will tighten up because I am young...(Maybe, fingers crossed)
I try to do sit ups to help my tummy out, and when I do them, my tailbone hurts super bad... It like grinds... Any other way I can make my tummy look good??? And my arms also...
I need like a little daily exercise routing, and I was wondering if you could help me out.. I am COMPLETLY Clueless when It comes to exercise.... We have a weight lifting system made from Gold's Gym, a rubber inflatable exercise ball, dumbells(3 lbs.) , a ttreadmill, and an exercise bike... What can I do on these... Thanks Tammy!!!
OK......do your crunches on the ball.....do 3 sets of 25 if you can......
sit on the ball and lift the weights, do not lock your elbows ever!!! 3 sets of 10-12
the bike and treadmill are great for the cardio....a minimum of 20 mins 3 x per week
you may need heavier weights.....like 5 and 8 pounders.......do lunges holding weights (google lunges and you can see how to properly do them) there are walking lunges and stationary lunges.
start doing some pushups.....if you can not do them on the floor do them on the wall.....
using your own body weight is sometimes the best tool for toning and lifting
get some resistance bands.....less than 20 bucks at wal mart.....use them , they come with instructions, but you can also loop them around a stable sturdy object like a home gym system and step back while facing the object it is looped around, and holding the band in each hand pull back and try to squeeze your shoulder blades together....this works your chest and back. The bands come in different thickness which means different resistance. Does that make sense??
Are you a member of sparkpeople??? they have exercise demos under fitness. They will show you proper ways to do exercises.
Do you know how to do DIPS? google DIPS WITH WEIGHT BENCH and it should show you how.
Your CORE is what you need to work on....thats your abs and so on. Like I said crunches on the ball as many as possible.....I was doing over a hundred a day.
Go to Amazon and search for BODY SCULPTING BIBLE FOR WOMEN and or STRENGTH TRAINING FOR WOMEN Both excellent books.
Also get some fitness magazines.
remember.....never work the same muscles each day...alternate days. Muscles need a day to recover, repair and build up. YOU WILL NOT BECOME A MONSTER MUSCLE GIRL.......that takes more work than what I have suggested and it requires a strict diet and many months of work. You will not bulk up......
let me know if you are unclear on anything or need more help.

I am not doing so good in this part of my journey...9 yrs later. :-(
I really do feel amazing.... And I think I am going to get addicted to exercising, I really want to look great.... good for you!!!! your beautiful already but your gonna be hottie!!!!
just take all your measurements now....and after 1 week take them again and try to measure weekly from hear on out. Weigh in at the start and then once a week or every two weeks what ever you do now. Dont become scale obsessed because muscle does weigh more than fat!!!
If you can afford it, I suggest buying a fitness journal at Amazon.com. It will be about 20 bucks total and that should include shipping, unless the cost of the book went up. They are called Diet Minder and Fitness Minder made by Memory Minder Journals.
In this journal you can record everything work out related. You can buy a diet journal as well. I think the fitness journal will be very helpful and help you keep track of what you are doing. Remember do not work the same muscle group daily except your abs.
I need an email addy for you. I can send you a template to use if you cant find the journal.
It is key to start building muscle as muscle goes fast during our weight loss and you have to have muscle to burn fat. Drink a protien shake after your workouts because it helps your muscles recover. Dont go for fruit or anything else. I would suggest a shake or lean protien. Stay hydrated through out the workout as well. And stop if you dont feel good.
write me back anytime either on here or at [email protected]
talk to you soon
love Tammy
