Hi all ,
As stated elsewhere in this forum I am a male, 25, 181 pounds and 5,8" . I need to lose 32 pounds. I have just started a weight loss program where I brisk walk for 45 minutes and come back and skip for 3 minutes. ( That is my endurance level for now) . I am in my 6th day now. I have no access to a gym so it has to be body weight exercises. I have been off exercises for a long time now. almost 2 years. I am paying attention to my diet also.

Is this enough for starters ? What more should I add to it as I build up my stamina ? I was thinking about rusty moore 's fitnessblackbook.com and craig ballantyne's turbulence training.
Please let me know yor thoughts. Thanks.

Of course you should maintain your 'brisk walk' however i think it would be better you increase it to slow run every morning before you go to work.
It would be a good idea you join some sports game regularly instead of jogging / running alone such as badminton, basketball etc. At least join twice a week.

i think you should go for some sport activity were you burn your fat, something which involves running like football or lawn tennis.. and of course your diet also.Try n eat light and filling food, so that u dont feel hungry. Follow this , it could help. But yes to loose weight you need to have some patients. It takes time.
 
Good grief. Such advice. :)

Hey Pom. Welcome. Here's what I'd suggest. First of all, you have to realize that what you eat is 80% of losing weight and looking good. Exercise is important and I'm not saying you shouldn't do it, but you can exercise all you want and if you're not eating healthily, you won't lose weight.

So the first thing is to make sure that you're eating around 2000 calories a day and making sure it's HEALTHY food: lean protein, lots of veggies and fruit, complex carbs, and healthy fats.

Then, walking and skipping is good - I'd say keep up with that. Make sure that your walk is brisk and that you're getting your heart rate raised and breaking a sweat. As you get more fit, you can alternate walking and running ... 60 seconds of running and then 60-90 seconds of walking ... and increasing the time as you feel comfortable with it.

Definitely add in some body resistance/body weight exercises. Things like squats, lunges, pushups, chinups or pullups, dips, planks, burpees, etc. are all great things that you can do with body weight and in variations to make them more difficult.

My suggestion would be to do a solid round of bodyweight exercises 3x a week and on alternate days, keep up with your walking/skipping routine.

Hope that gives you some real solid advice. :)
 
Thanks everybody
