Will i tone and loss weight with this workouts?
28 Feb 2009
Hi there, ok heres my problem.. kinda, anyways ive started working out, 1 month exactly, just to tone up and make a new lifestyle. This is what ive been doing.. 3 classes a week of indoor cycling, one step class, one pilates class, one stability ball class. And on weekends i do out door activities. Now ive been told sooooo many times to eat at least 1500 calories a day to tone up and shead a couple pounds but i can't seem to eat that much, don't get me wrong… i do eat very heathly, i just don't think i consume that much. Now do you think this will affect my toning up and weight loss? and do you think i will still get a results in like 4 months…, if i keep this routine up? thanks for reading this 
If you cant manage 1500 then dont force your self. If your body is telling you it doesnt want any more then listen to it. Your going about exercise in the correct way. If you do the same activities (ie running 35mins every day for example) your body does become fitter and you will loose weight however it adapts to this activity fairly quickly and no further weight will be lost but rather maintain a level weight. However, doing very varied exercise will keep the body guessing and there for will not adapt into one form of exercsie helping you loose weight.
With calouries, its very important that your body doesnt adopt starvation mode. This is when your body is uncertain of when the next meal is OR if you are in negative calories (burning more then you are taking in). If this happens your body will automatically store food as back up fat reserves. Haveing 5 small but nutrious meals through out the day will help. If you start at 9:00, 12:00, 13:00, 15:00, 18:00 21:00 (the meal at 21:00 will be a light friut snack and try not to eat carbs after 17:00) this will not only help with the extra colorie intake you need but also helps your body not clock into starvation mode. It will also help you to loose weight as your metabolism will also be constantly stimulated. It is important that you keep to this 5 meal aday as a routine and not to miss meals.(or pick inbetween them)
I hope this helps, best of luck !

2009 Feb 28 1workouts i think give muscles a pumped up look, they do not tone up like yoga and swimming and wallking, which help stored fats to spread up, not accumulating calories in one spot, burning them down , as a result the body has a nice toned up sleek appearance.
