on the eliptical it has the heart range zone but i want to be in the fat burning one i think and i can never get my heartrate lower then 148-155 without stopping
cardio zone is for building stamina rather than burn fat, so it focuses more on getting your heart rate up that burining calories, fat burn, made specifically to burn fat.

How can I prevent weight gain from birth control pills?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I just started taking birth control pills. I haven’t changed my diet or exercised any less, but I still feel a noticeable bloating. How can I prevent weight gain from the pills. I already eat healthily and exercise, which are the obvious suggestions to prevent weight gain. Is there a certain vitamin or anything I can be taking to offset what the pills do weight wise? What about the pill causes weight gain, anyway?
No, it’s just water weight and it will go away in a few months once you get used to it. It’s not permanent weight gain. Drink lots of fluid and stay away from high sodium.
Healthy ways to lose weight for teens?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Hi, this is the first time I have wrote one of these, so pardon if I mess up, ha ha.
So I am 15 years old, almost 16, and I weigh about 202 pounds. For my age it is really unhealthy. I am about 5′ 9" so I kind of get proportioned, but not by much.
Most of my fat is in my stomach area, but mostly my thighs. I have been both bulimic and annorexic in the past, but it didn’t help much. I don’t wish to lead a life like that.
I am also a dancer so I dance at a minimum of 7 hours a week.
I was just wondering does anyone have some tips for me?
I am just struggling with my weight and need some advice, any works… But if you are just going to tell me I am obese, then please refrain from posting anything!
Thank You!
Being an athlete..as a dancer you are an athlete…you can expect to weigh more, so don’t let that discourage you. Go by your doc’s advice, your abilities, how you look, feel, and how your clothes fit.
Slim fast has a very good support system whether or not you use their products. Go to their free website. www.slimfast.com Lots of nutrition and menu planning info and a progress tracker, and a message board and buddy system.
But really at your age, you are not done growing or developing and this is a calorie intensive process for the body. DONT skip on food or diet too much. Not that you can’t be health conscious…of course you can.
Best advice I can give you is to skip the junk food, snack healthy, eat three small meals and three larger snacks per day. Choose healthy foods and healthy cooking methods and monitor portion sizes. Treat yourself every now and then to something wholesome but decadent (such as ice cream)
And exercise. One hour a week of each:
stength training (weights, bands, ball), cardio (walking, swimming), and stretching (yoga, pilates)
on top of your dance each day will make you strong, lean, and a fat burning goddess!
What is a quick, easy, healthy way to lose weight?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Okay….I’m wondering if there is a quick, easy, healthy way to lose weight. I am 5′7" and weigh 148 pounds.
You don’t have much to lose. Depending how muscular you are, you could be about right. The healthiest way is to increase your exercise and cut out sugar, white flour and most fat. If you eat meat, make it lean cuts and try to stick to fish and poultry. Be sure to drink lots of water. Good luck.
I want to lose weight, what are the best ways to lose weight quickly?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I am 16, 185 pounds, and 5′9, i just want to lose belly fat, and around the "love handles" any suggestions for targeting those areas?
Losing love Handles
By know all of us know what are love handles. Love handles are created because of the extra fat build up in the body. Now we have to find out how to lose love handles.
If you really want to get rid of love handles, you should understand that there is no magical cure for love handles. The only solution is by the use of healthy diet and using regular exercise programs. I will never recommend you to go for any kind of pills for gets rid of love handles.
So here I am listing some of the best ways to get rid of love handles:
·Healthy diet
Going on a healthy diet can be really helpful in getting rid of love handles. You can go for low carb diets and low calorie diet. While using these diets, you have to some of your favorite stuff like sweets. Your diet should include proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals required for body to function properly.
·Cut the salt
The amount of too much salt in your diet is responsible for around 80% of love handles. High amount of sodium in your body will direct to "water retention," which makes love handles more prominent. So reduce the amount of salt in all kind of food you use.
·Cardio Training
The key to having great abs is burning more calories than you take in. Aerobic training combined with the tips above does just that. If you want to get rid of love handles then get up off the couch and go for a walk, take a bike ride, or play some hoops. Find something you like to do and keep doing it.
What are some SUPER easy ways to lose weight?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Please help! I’m thinking of getting the "Bun N thigh roller" anyone heard of it? Also can you give me some tips of losing weight?
There is no "Easy way" to lose weight. The pills, and wonder products just do not work. The only safe and sure way to lose weight is to change your eating habits and get regular excercise everyday. Start with walking at least 30 min 3 times a day. Also drink 10 8 oz glasses of water a day. It will not only make sure you are hydrated, but it will reduce your craving for food.
Good Luck.
What is a good way to lose weight? Good exercises?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I’m a girl, about 5 "6" and weigh about 130 lb. I’m not fat, but I would like to lose weight. I already play soccer at school, but I need something more. I eat pretty healthy, so I would rather get some exercize tips rather than diet tips. I can run a 6:30 mile, do 63 sit-ups in one minute, etc. so I’m pretty fit. I would go biking, but I live on a steep hill, which makes it hard to do a lot of activities. We have a pool, but I heard swimming doesn’t help you lose weight fast. I sometimes go for walks/jogs around the hill I live on, but I can’t do that all the time since it’s not the best area. So any exercise and maybe some diet tips would be great! Thanks.
run the track at school 3-4 times a week after school…
you should be able to run 3 quick miles in 20-30 mins…
the weight will melt off within a month easy and no one will touch you on the soccer field which is a nice bonus.
good luck
What food products would help with fat burning?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010I’m in a process of losing excess weight. I dance 3-4 hours a day with a dance pad and jog 45 minutes daily. My goal is to shake off fat, not really tone my muscles. What would you recommend for food? What food products did you find successful? Preferably something that would increase the fat burning. Please no links to dieting-sites since I am interested in just selecting the best products from my grocery store. I am not interested in pills, books, concoctions, equipment or any other way losing my money.
You can eat salads, lean meat, fish, fruit, frozen veggies, drink lots of water, chicken, soup, protein shakes (low fat, low calorie ones), drink a glass of red wine per day, **yogurt is really good*,
Try and cut out salty things, WHITE breads, pop and alcohol besides wine
Good Luck!
Can going on diets where you starve yourself lead to anorexia?
Sunday, February 28th, 2010Im doing a project on anorexia and I need to find out if going on diets where you starve yourself will lead you to develop anorexia. Thanks in advance and if you know anything else about anorexia please share.
Anorexia is when you simply do not eat or eat very little. Bulimia is when you vomit after eating.
You don’t cause yourself to develop either problem but I would imagine that going on such a diet could trigger the feelings that lead to having those problems. Both can sprout from a poor self-image and outside influence. It’s different for everyone.
