EXERCISE????

HEY GUYS I WAS WONDERING WHAT YOU DO FOR EXERCISE BESIDES FEMALES WHO JOIN CURVES. I'M ON HERE FOR A FRIEND AND SHE DOESNT HAVE THE MONEY FOR CURVES. ANY SUGGESTIONS??? THANKS IN ADVANCE ALI AKA SASSY PANTS

I am doing my weight loss the old fashioned way with diet and exercise. I bought the Curves book. I HIGHLY suggest your friend purchase it. It has a wonderful diet (I hate the connotations that word has become) with recipes, and even shopping lists in it. The reason I suggest it though is that it has the Curves workout that can be simulated at home. I can't recommend Curves enough. My mom has lost 40 lbs and is about 10 lbs from her goal now. My step dad has lost 20 lbs doing the diet and just walking. I have lost almost 20 lbs now just doing the diet. I started walking a mile in the morning and evening. The rain prevented that though. I will be starting up again. Here is what I do: Morning 1 mile fast paced jog will intermittment hills Lift 2 lbs weights (arm toning) for five minutes per each arm Do as many crunches as possible (I started with 15, and add 2 every day) Evening 1 mile walk Crunches Pilates/Stretches/Breathing Exercises

ok this is what you guys should do... atleast once a day take a twenty minute walk... just go ten minutes and turn right back around. eventually you will be able to go further and further. you intertwine this with eating about 6 small meals (and by small i mean like 4-6 oz all togather of good healthy food) and also try and drink atleast 72oz of water a day with no caffine or carbonated drinks. if you try this (i dont mean do it for a week and quit, im talking about a good effort, atleast a month) then i promise you that youll see the results that youre looking for. ive been at it for almost four months and ive lost near, give or take a few pounds, 100 pounds. later

I started walking. First it was just around the block, then more and more, and it was eventually 2 and a half miles at a very fast pace. My mom bought me a pilates DVD that has an aerobic workout on it, that I like, and have started doing instead of walking, but walking is free and you can do it anywhere.

Hello! I have done walking, roller skating and water aerobics. You can do your own version of water aerobics in any pool....you should be able to google "water aerobics" and find a site with the different exercises. Just swimming laps or "running" thru the water is pretty good too.
