Exercise
How is everyone doing with exercise? I am on a pretty strictregimen of weights 4 days a week and cardio 5 days a week, at leastuntil my son was born two weeks ago (ty, ty). I will be back up tothat schedule soon, right now I am about 3 and 3. I have noticedthat my weight changes very little now, like a pound or two everycouple of weeks to a month. I was wondering if anyone knows enoughabout muscle physiology to be able to tell me if my muscle gain iscatching up with my fat loss, which is why the weight loss seems soslow. Also is there a way to estimate how much fat I have lost? SoI know what part of my weight now is muscle, and what is fat. Ihave a scale that measures body fat percentage, but I am not so sureI trust it since it seems to vary by as much as 4% from day to day,depending upon my hydration. I have noticed that is has gone downto about 20-23% from the 30-34% where I started…but that is anestimate only. I am not sure exactly where I started.
I’m totally new to this group (but not to the South Beach Diet).
I’m curious what everyone does for exercise. The reason I’m asking isa little wierd…
I have had a lot of trouble keeping on an exercise routine.I’m prettygood about eating, but the exercise thing kills me. I picked up thisbook recently that’s all about exercising, but it’s a little out-of-the ordinary. Basically, this girl wrote a book about exercisingwhile you’re doing “it” (I bought it off the website http://www.lovediet.comafter I read about it in the New York Post) Like you can burn 350calories in 30 minutes while you’re having sex (which is the same asjogging, and I hate jogging).
So, that’s what I’m doing for exercise. Wondering what everyone elsedoes (If any of you come up with anything more interesting, I’llswitch plans:)
Yes you can lose weight if you did it enough I am sure but you can burn more calories by having to go the same pace for a consistent amount of time. So perhaps the best thing to do is both. Ever try an elliptical trainer? Try to get a machine at home in front of the television or something and you will get used to it. So, for the sake of cardio and your partner…do both!
