Q. ok, if i jump rope for 5 minutes a day, each healthy ----- no junk food. and have gym class every other day, FOR 5 MONTHS, will i be ready for swimsuit season....i have a belly (NOT HUGE) but annoying that i need to get rid of, and my thighs need toning......do you think i'll be ready if i do this?
jump roping also works out your whole body too.....my gym class is 90 minutes.


Answer
I agree with the poster who said "Crunches don't get rid of belly fat, they get stronger abs. You will need to do cardio if you want to lose weight."

First you don't need to lose weight to slim down. What you want to do is reshape your body so that you have more muscles and less belly fat. It's is not a question of losing weight but replacing the fat on your middle with muscles else where on your body.

You can't choose where fat will be reduced. You can't target fat. You can choose which muscles to build. Targeting which muscles you build is very easy, you just use them !!

To lose weight you need to build up your bodies need to burn energy every day. You need to increase your metabolic rate.

The best way to do that is to build your muscles and the most important muscles are your lungs and your heart muscle.
This is why people talk about doing cardio workouts. Workouts that exercise the heart and lungs for a period of time. That means running, spinning, biking etc.

You should start doing cardio it in short blocks of 5 minutes with a couple of minutes to recover and then another 5, recover, another 5 and so on.

Try to build up to the point where you are doing 45 to an hour. Then as you get fitter and recover faster, cut back on the recovery breaks.

5 minutes of high intensity jump rope is the wrong start. You can still do it, but you need to work on lower intensity and longer duration: Endurance.

To help you get the intensity and duration better balanced you may want to invest in a heart rate monitor, (and good running shoes). Get one with programmable zones and upper and lower alarms.

In the first few months rate your progress by your increased endurance.

Seek the advice and help of a school coach or personal trainer from a gym. Get them to help build you a personal exercise plan, and then review and expand it every month based on your progress.

Try finding the various running clubs in your town. Most offer free advice and free or very low cost training.

You already know what to do with food. Eat regularly at least three times a day. Eat lots of green and leafy stuff, (not lettuce) and lots of other veg and fruits.

Cut back on all junk food, fried food. No sodas or so called energy drinks like red bull. You can use a little gator-aid for workouts that last more than 40 minutes. (Both during and after.)

Try to eat some protein after long hard workouts, preferably within 30 minutes.

Add pliaties to help strengthen your core.

Keep a log of your workouts and your progress.
