I can really understand where this is coming from. What are your goals? To loose weight or tone up? If its a weight loss and you haven’t seen ANY results, then there must be an issue. Make sure you are at least getting 30-45 minutes of a cario workout 4-5 days a week and are hitting your target heart rate. Between 130-160 is the normal target rate for most people. If you go to a gym, try using the elliptical instead of the treadmill as that works out more of your body. Also remember that if you are lifting weights, muscle weighs more than fat so you could be losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time. If you are trying to just tone up, make sure you still go your cardio, but then add in 5 alternating days of weights. Do legs 3 times a week, and then work on arms 2 times a week, and then vice versa the next week. This gets you in the habit of doing weights everyday. Never do the same area back to back though. Then do abs 3 days a week as well. Cardio is the biggest factor to lossing weight and getting rid of any fatty areas even if you are already skinnier. As far as food goes, make sure you are eating 3 meals a day with 2 snack in between to keep metabolism going, and that they are all healthy. Eat all fresh fruits, vegetables, only whole grain, only lean meat, no juices/sodas (even diet), no gatorade or high calorie sugar drinks–JUST water. Great snacks are peanuts, Kashi snacks, Luna bars (has a HUGE amount of nutrients in them), low fat dip and veggies, apples, bananas, etc. If you are going all this and still aren’t seeing anything, it may be time to talk to a doctor or a weight coach about what is going on and why progress isn’t made. Good luck!
quit looking at the scale….quit measuring urself….quit doing anything that would show if ur making progress….in the fitness world 4 weeks is not very much time…just stay on a healthy nutrient dense diet pan, DRINK LOTS OF WATER, and try to get 30 minutes of cardio 3 times a week, Weigh urself every thirty days…the results will come trust me…
Weight loss= 40% Diet—20% Fitness—40% PATIENCE
my motivation advise is to go to one of your favorite stores pick out something you really like and buy it a size too small and let that be your motivation to fit into that article of clothing.
