tryin to get healthy/fit/in shape

So its a little late for me to get totally hot 'in time for summer' but i really wanna start eating healthy, and getting in shape.
Do yall have any tips or tricks for keeping yourself in line? What about foods or little snacks that are good for ya, and filling as well. I love to eattt
Im gonna start writing down everything that i eat in a little journal.. Ive been riding my bike a bit, too.. What about little exercises? Mostly thigh and belly exercises is what i need...

 

head over to the fitness forum or i bet stinkfoot will find his way over here and give you some good tips

 

Visualization exercises will help a lot.


Just visualize how you wish your body to look every morning and evening, know your goals, and your mind will figure out everything in between.

 

pilates

 

Bike rides! Lots of bike rides!

 

protein with fat type foods will keep you feeling full longer

www.fitday.com is a great tool to journal the amounts of food you eat and you get a nice layout of the breakdown of protein/carb/fat for what you have eaten

general advice that works for most people most of the time - up protein intake, lower carb intake, get more omega 3's (think fish oil).

have specific goals in mind. then find a program and stick with it, don't change it - just do it fo 6-9 months and then re-evaluate. and you need much more than just "thigh and belly exercises" - but that is true for everyone.

and most importantly of all - find something you will enjoy doing for the long haul.

 

Dancing is supposed to give you a very nice body.
Weight lifting
Pilates(my aunt is a pilates instructor)
Kickboxing
Running.
Jumprope

Anything cardio..

those are just example

oh, btw, what you eat matters too, watch the fuel you put in your body, just like a ferrari needs premium gas to stay in tip top shape, your body needs to right fuel.

Candy, cake, and sodas are gonna make u sluggish

oh, protien is good.

 

i hate being sluggish... its the worst

 

I've been wanting to get in shape and eating better, too.
Try yoga! And like Meli said, Pilates..

 

its so not too late, you aren't in too terrible shape...from what ive seen you look damn good

dancing is my favorite way to exercise (aside from stoned lifting, god damn that is so fun) but dancing like even in your room with music blasting if you go at it non stop for a while and you get low and shit, your legs will get a hell of a work out. just do crazy shit whiile dancing.

and i was lame awhile back and went to get a workout dvd with this cord. my old soccer trainer had given me a workout band a while back when i broke 2 ribs, and that shit was awesome so i saw this and thought what the hell i rarely buy into shit like this and tried it. i think its cool. its a work out, and like ive started adding on to the stuff they do, reps wise just to get more tone. it covers the whole body, from calfs, to shoulders, includng abs. the name of the GAIAM resistance cord...and the chick on the dvd says the right things exactly when you need to her em haha

are you big into meat micha?

 

Yeah, you dance enough you'll have a body like shakira :drool5:

 

indeed hahaha

dancing will make you feel sexy while getting sexy i mean sexier :sifone:

 

when ever you get the munchies, dont go and eat the usually chips, or go to the dollar menu at your fav fastfood place....

Just do what i do, make a dank smoothie, i get alot of ice, strawberries, bananas, fruit like that and get some yogurt and your good!

 

heres how my 18 year old diets--yugurt for breakfast--an apple and string cheese for lunch and a massive chicken salad for dinner-no skin--at least 8 bottles of water--thats good for ten pounds in 2 weeks and shes 5ft 6in i38lbs right now and thinks shes fat--whats wrong with you chicks-your beauitful but always focus on the negative--like ny mose is too big --i have a scae--my legs are fat---us guys arent that picky---i lose weight by eating meat--the atkins run 2 miles a day and work out every other and quit beer and thats good for 20 lbl in about 3 weeks--yeah guys got it easy---good luck

 

Do some running, and also do various exercises with low weight and high reps.

 

^^ low weight high reps will definitely give you a nice cut.

 

Pilates will get you so toned!

 

For sure!! And so does yoga if ya do it right!

 

Yeah I wanna start pilates first so I can actually hold poses :tongue:

 

well im 5 foot and i weigh 140 lbs!! which is absolutely unnecessary. hah.. my goal is 115-120, but i can't really say that yet, because i dont know how i will look or feel at that weight. i have big ol boobies and i think thats always gonna affect my actual weight.
i have thunder thighs and a belly that i wanna get toned and sexy. hah
