    Exclamation Workout Plan

    Ok ladies, I need a workout regime that will whip me into shape. Im good at jogging; I just have to get off my lazy ass and get to it. I would like to know what do you ladies eat throughout the day. I read that we are suppose to eat 5-6 small meals a day...but who really has time for that. I already drink gallons of water a day. I think its more motivation that anything that Im lacking; and when it comes to money.....thats all the motivation that I need. Help me out ladies. Thanks in advance.

    To really peel the pounds off quickly, high intensity interval training can't be beat. It is hard. I'm not going to lie, it makes me cry sometimes, it's so hard. But it is the shortest workout for the biggest payback in terms of tone and loss of inches. How it works:

    Do an aerobic activity as fast and hard as your can for 60 seconds. Lets use running for simplicity sake:

    Sprint for 1 minute, then walk for 1 minute. Repeat 5 times.

    That's it. Trust me, by the end of the third interval, you'll feel like you want to die. By the end of the 5th interval, you'll swear you are dying. If you don't feel just absolutely exhausted by the end of your 5th interval, then change up the way you do this exercise.

    Sprint for 90 seconds, then walk for 30 seconds. Repeat 5 times.

    That should get you good and tired in 10 minutes. I don't recommend doing High Intensity Interval Training more than twice a week. Use other forms of exercising that are fun and enjoyable. You will get burned out on exercise altogether if you try using HIIT too much.

    Thanks so much Paris......i really appreciate the advice and what about a diet plan? I plan on not eating anymore bread, no sweets (Im addicted to Swedish fish), no rice and no more fried foods. My problem is breakfast; I read somewhere that you should eat like a king in the morning, an average lunch and a college student at night. Im just stuck.
    Ain't nothing more important than the mula!!

    Dieting is just a "rule of thumb" type of thing. Rice is fine if it is whole grain brown rice, bread is fine if it is whole grain as well. The trick is finding whole grain bread (companies intentionally mislabel the packages as "Whole Wheat" when really it is processed flour that was used.).

    Breakfast should be a portion of protein, a portion of carbs and a veggie portion. So, something like scrambled eggs w/ spinach and mushrooms, and an orange would be perfect. Try to have 1 egg white and one whole egg.

    For a mid morning snack, try some cottage cheese and berries.

    For lunch have a big salad w/ chicken or tuna.

    For mid afternoon snack something like a small veggie plate

    and for dinner a portion of protein, a portion of carbs and a portion of vegetables. (grilled fish, steamed brown rice, steamed veggies)

    What is a portion? Use your hand as a visual guide. If the food portion is roughly the size of your palm (like a peice of chicken, for instance) or the size of your fist (for a bowl of cereal) you are eating the right amount for you.

    SO long as you eat sensibly, and frequently, your body will continue to lose fat. Choose things that you already enjoy. I hate celery, but have tried to force myself to eat it because a diet plan said I should. I didn't stick to the diet plan for very long because it wasn't good and satisfying. Use lots of low fat sugar free condiments to jazz up your food. I like to use chicken broth to stir-fry veggies in, also spicy foods like Tabasco sauce will add a lot of flavor and almost no calories.

    Just dying for a treat? Try air popped popcorn. Sprinkle with olive oil and garlic salt. Need something sweet? Try slicing up strawberries and topping with 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup. Bananas w/ chocolate syrup are really tasty, too.

    I know that "they" say eating 5/6 meals a day and a huge breakfast is key to weight loss, but personally that doesn't work best for me. If I eat huge first thing in the morning, I'm ravenous and eat waaaay too much. I do agree that you need to jump start your metabolism and I chose to do this eating fruit until I'm ready for lunch. Once again, I'm not very traditional with meals and by "lunch" I mean my first meal of substance. I find eating bread spikes my hunger more than just a salad and protein.
    I also avoid cheese for weight loss because when it comes down to it, what does cheese really add? Cheese on a sandwich adds nearly no flavor and 200 calories... so not worth it. Save the cheese for when you're gonna splurge and have nachos or something where cheese is crucial.
    Basically don't let yourself get hungry, because when your hungry you get too cranky and rushed to prepare and meal. When I feel hungry I'll have a banana, that really kills the hunger. If you eat throughout the day you'll be waaaay less likely to feast at night, most likely you'll be hungry but not to the point of going out and ordering a 5 course meal.
    I hope that helped you a little bit!

    consult a master-trainer.


    HIIT, while in theory is really effective, it does not meet specific muscle and strength gain needs.

    Furthermore, there are stages in muscle development: Stabalization, Stregnth, and power. There are different sub-groups in these stages. HIIT is a part of power training, and should only be performed by people who know what they are doing.

    The very first stage is neuro-muscular adaptation, and that is the most important part of a program design.

    I would HIGHLY recommend getting with a professional.

    Eating a "Huge" meal in the morning is inccorrect.

    Eating 6-7 meals in equal quantity is ideal. The reason eating in a higher freaquency is more ideal is because your metabolism is constantly working.

    metabolism is the rate at which your body burns energy(calories)

    on avg. the body takes about 100-200cal just to digest the meal you ate. Therefore, eating 6-7 400cal meals is best.

    I didn't say to eat a "huge" meal. I was naming 2 popular theories that the OP suggested and explained why they do not work for me. Many professionals recommend eating big in the morning and I was explaining why that did not work for me.
    And yes 5-6 meals boosts the metabolism but she seems concerned about not having time for that so I recommended not sweating the number of meals and just have small snacks between meals, which I find is less stressful than actually trying to plan a ton of mini meals. Personally I prefere 2 meals of substance and small snacks when I feel hunger coming on... I have the most success with that. It's all about what works best for you. I know my best friend has the most success having a very big breakfast that tides her over until dinner where she will eat something small. Not everything works for everyone and even if it's not the mainstream advice, I would think what works best for you is what you should do.
