Guys, I need some advice on loosing weight please.
I'm 5"2 and weigh around 7 1/2 stone.
I HATE my stomach and thighs. I
knowyou can't spot reduce fat, but I work out and I'm not seeing any results.(Although i've only been doing it a month.. other than my butt being firmer and tighter I can't see results. Too soon right?)
I go for a jog 3 times a week. I jog for about 30 minutes and during my jog I tend to sprint for say 30seconds, then resume my natural pace for a little while etc. When I get home, I alternate on days (as to not over work my muscles) a 30minute workout focusing on specific areas of my body. I.e - Bum, thigs and quads, I do an upper body 5x5x5 workout, butt workout etc. I basically focus on all areas of my body and use kettle bells and dumbells etc
I eat healthily (I think.?)
A typical day is along the lines of
Exercise-water
Breakfast
-40g of fruit and fibre cereal with added raisins, semi skimmed milk
-Banana
Lunch
-A small bowl of pasta
or
-Some vegtable soup with wholemeal bread and little butter
or
-Tuna salad sandwich on wholemeal bread
With
-A bio yoghurt and a piece of fruit.
Dinner
- Chicken or fish (Grilled usually) with an assortment of vegetables
or something like bulgear wheat or cous cous
After dinner snack
-Some kind of nuts and another piece of fruit.
I usually drink about 2-3 pints of water a day and a glass of milk
Counting calories I usually eat around 1200-1500 a day.
Is this a good exercise programme or not? I hope to see the benefits soon as I'd love a nice body.
