Need advice from some personal trainers/fitness gurus out there, please?

I'm 28 and currently do aerobics classes 3 times per week for the last year with 2 resistance classes a week. I lost weight at first and without changing anything I've gained it all back. Currently I'm at 195 and 5'6';. I measure 41 bust, 36 waist, abdomen 42, hips 44, thigh 27. Most people think that I weight in the 160's the way my body is proportioned but I want to lose 40 lbs and tone up. My major problem areas are my legs and abdomen (like most women) What is the best way for me to start a good weight loss routine that includes running without having to pay for a gym membership. Any diet hints would be nice also. I've started eating all natural/organic meats and dairy and eat salads and fruits. Is that ok? Thanks in advance. :)Need advice from some personal trainers/fitness gurus out there, please?
K. I will address the diet first. Stay on the low end of the ';gylcemic index'; This is how fast the sugar gets absorbed into you blood stream. Stay away from starch like white rice, bread, potatoes. You need to consume about 70kg of protein per day for your weight. You need to jump start your metabolism. Try treadmill or eliptical. Fast walk followed by several short bursts of runs for about 30 minutes not including a warm up of 15 minutes. You should work out about 5 times a week and watch how much exercise you do as you may overtrain and begin storing fat. Good luck.Need advice from some personal trainers/fitness gurus out there, please?
i don't have to know anything except how to find out who does. go to site below. the man works out once a week and does less than 30 mins. of cardio once a week(including warmup) and has looked this way for thirty yrs. if you can't find something in his fitness and diet articles that can help you i'd be truly suprised.good luck
if you are gaining weight while exercising 5 days a week the problem lies in your diet. there would have to be a caloric excess in your diet for the body fat to increase while getting regular exercise.





you need to start counting calories and start at a daily intake of around 1750. you should see if you can get your BMR tested at your gym they may be able to use indirect calorimetry for an accurate reading of your BMR. increasing the fiber intake to 30 grams daily helps to keep insulin levels low and stable. eat carbs like lentils, beans, whole oatmeal, barley, etc. consume protein/carbs in the first 2-3 meals of the day then only protein/veggies/healthy fats in the evening and night time
Thats great! Cut back on red meat though. You dont have to eliminate it, but eat it in moderation. As far as loosing weight, maybe look into ayurvedic health. They focus on balancing things out in your body and by doing that, your body should take on its natural healthy weight. Also make sure you are drinking plenty of water, like at least 8 cups a day. This helps flush your system and keep you healthy. Good luck!
