what excercise is great for losing weight quickly?
I wanna get in shape and I have started excercising but its hard when you’re overweight. What excercises are good for burning loads of calories and getting the weight off quickly?
I have started slim fast today, seems to be quite good and I feel thinner already, I know that sounds silly but I dont feel bloated.

Swimming,
Gentle, does not ‘hurt’ and uses every single muscle too.
Walking at a good pace up – hill burns off more calories than jogging too, and is easier on your breasts lol.

Im obese and Ive started walking and cutting calories with eating healthy. And ive lost 9 pounds in the last four weeks. You can also bike ride, climb stairs, hike, do light aerobics at home, house cleaning, swimming, dancing, and a number of other things. You can go to calorie counting sights like http://www.my-calorie-counter.com and look up what excersizes burn what calories. I know for my weight and height that walking for one hour at 3 mph on a level surface will burn 300 calories.

The quicker you lose it, the more quicker it will come back on if you slide. Diets are a myth, forget the word diet. Change your lifestyle completely. First look at what your eating, then work on gradual exercise and increase it as you get fitter. I’d start with light jogging, build it up to..start with say 2 miles every other day. Eat protein, whole foods like seeds, nuts, fruit, veg. Drink plenty of water and get good rest at night

Walking, then when that becomes easier, Start jogging build up to running. Swimming of course and always remember to do some reps to build you fat to musle ratio.

See your doctor before embarking on any fitness regime.
There are no quick fixes that will work in the long run.
Remember – slow and steady wins the race.
You need to do cardio and toning
Running
Cycling
Swimming – this is excellent as it combines both elements and is low impact.
If you ever feel less than motivated I always say this to myself before I go for my daily run
‘To have an athletic figure, I must do athletics!’
Food wise aim for;
200-300 cals for breakfast
60 cal snack
300-400 cals for lunch
60 cal snack
400-500 cals for dinner
Loads of water, I mean a lot!!! and spike it with some citrus fruit as this has an enzyme in it that quite literally eats fat!
These meals should be made up of good quality, close to source foods no alcohol, no pop not even the sugar free variety.
Remember if you have to open a packet (not salads! I mean crisps and chocolate!) to get to it, it is probably man made, processed and full of crap, which in turn is counter productive.
Another of my many mantras is
‘if ya put rubbish in, ya get rubbish out!’ I say that to myself when contemplating sticking a mars bar in my gob!
Best Wishes

Swimming is a FAB way to burn off those unwanted pounds, also, if you can join a gym, the cross trainers are amazing!! I love them, as they burn so many more calories than anything else.
Start walking places instead of car or bus etc, as walking a great way of burning calories, or cycling if you can as well! Just keep yourself moving, even if your sat down, keep your feet moving (this may be annoying for others around you though ha ha!)
And cut out extra snacks, and try to adopt a better balanced diet too, as exercise whilst eating the wrong food is just not worth it!
Hope this helps!

Jogging, swimming, aerobics – seriously a cheap aerobics dvd can still really get your heart rate going! I would hunt for a Zumba dvd or kit. I work with a women who started doing a Zumba class at a local fitness center 3 times a week and lost 30 pounds the first month and she said it was fun like dancing.
Or if you are out of shape and just starting – walking – you can cover 3-4 miles at a moderate pace in an hour a night and that is around 400 extra calories burned.

No single exercise is best for losing weight. In fact no matter how much you exercise you won’t automatically lose weight. The one and only thing that will make you lose weight is to look at what you are eating.
That said, exercise will help to burn the calories you are eating. Personally I don’t think that cardio exercises such as swimming are great for weight loss though they are good for improving your general level of fitness.
Better than cardio is interval training. Tie that into some general body strengthening routines and you’ll be well placed to lose that weight. Remember that muscle needs to be maintained, and the more muscle you have the more calories your body needs to burn. I’m not suggesting that you start bodybuilding or visibly bulking up. When you exercise it breaks down your muscles, when you rest your body rebuilds those muscles, a process that will help burn calories. The sort of routines I’m suggesting will make sure that not only will you burn calories when you are exercising, but you’ll burn them when you are resting too.

You should change you eating course.
You should just take a cup tea or juice or milk in morning.
You should take lunch with fixed diet (which is your normal diet, don’t eat much)
You should take dinner with fixed diet.
You should take only 2 time food in a day. Don’t eat or drink other thing except water between breakfast and lunch and between lunch and dinner.
after that no need for excercise.

jogging
interval cardio
