PostHeaderIcon How do I get into shape in two months.?


By eating well and doing lots of exercise. Simple. Mostly a good variety of fruit, veg, occasional fish and meat.

To lose weight, your calorie intake must be lower than your calorie expenditure. If you eat less than you consume you won’t lose weight indefinitely because every pound of body weight adds to your calorie expenditure: as your weight decreases, so will the energy demand on your system. Eventually, you will find an equilibrium that fits your dietary intake.

If you are doing low indurance exercise (e.g. jogging), you will lose fat and muscle until your weight matches your intake, BUT!!! if you finish a low indurance session with some higher indurance exercise (weights around 50 reps) you will encourage your muscles to hang onto their fibres and the fat will disappear quicker. This is how you get "in shape" and get a nice cut physique.

If you are new to exercise, be aware of "the training curve"… If you are not exercising regularly, your muscles will accummulate fuel (glycogen). When you start to exercise regularly, after initial aches and pains called the IDOMS, you will find a spurt in your fitness. You’ll feel pretty good! But…

As you continue to run down your fuel reserves, your body is not accustomed to putting these back as quick as you are burning them. After your initial spurt there may come a point when you feel drained and you can’t face your exercise sessions because your just too pooped…

This is the time to train to improve your fitness: train your body to replenish the muscle fuel you are burning! This is a key hurdle to getting fit. It’s really hard and it can take time but once you are through it you’ll feel great!

Mental preperation is key because getting in shape requires a lifestyle change and people are generally comfortable in their lifestyle, even if they’re not happy with it. Be under no illusions: lifestyle changes are difficult!

Make a list of all the stuff you don’t like about your lifestyle now and stick it on the door of your fridge. To remind you of why you are doing what you are doing.

Prepare yourself for the times when you will feel like avoiding your sessions (due to training curve and all other kinds of excuses): write a note to [your future self] to be read when [your future self] is thinking of avoiding a session that explains to [your future self] why you would please like [your future self] to stop being a big wuss and get [your future self's] backside out of the door and onto the freaking bike!

    A good way to get in shape (and i am doing it now) is to do a lot of cardiovascular excersize(things for the heart) and to change your diet this can get your weight down and a good speed. You can also lift weights, which is what i do. Since I have been doing this I first lost 12 pounds and started lifting weights i have gained about 15 pounds in muscle.

    Go on a low fat low protien diet. Stick to veggies, beans and rice. Stay the hell away from fast food. Exercise every day, concentrating on different muscle groups (Work upper body one day, lower the next and alternate so your muscles will heal) And the old saying is true "No Pain, No Gain"

    Well the best way to lose unwanted weight is to eat less. Keep your calorie intake to about 1500 calories a day and work out as much as possible. If you cannot get to a gym, do sit ups/push ups/etc. at home. Do a majority of cardio, as it burns the most calories. Sure, some might say eating that little is unhealthy but hey, it honestly is the best way to get in shape.

    Get on some kind of eating plan (ediets.com has a lot of variety & is only about $15/month) and exercise. Running burns a lot of fat. Walking is great too! Anything you can do to keep your body moving will help you burn fat! It’s also very important to stretch to get lean, shapely muscles. Drink at least 64 oz. of water each day. Good luck!

    Well, you can’t get rid of cellulite by summer.

    Getting into shape, if you mean lose as much as you can in two months, stay clear of SALT and only eat breakfast and dinner. small meals, healthy only.

    Bulk up your muscles, lift weights. More weight, more size. More reps, more tone.

    1) Get into the right frame of mind

    2) Journal the items you are eating and your exercise habits. It will make you aware of the changes you need to make..and document your successes.

    3) Start by increasing your exercise – if you do none now, take baby steps and make a commitment to do 20 or 30 minutes a day, 5x/week. Increase your heart rate, and do some strength/muscle training, and be sure to stretch! If you are already currently exercising, evaluate your routine. Switch it around, try some new things. Hire a personal trainer for a week or two to challenge you.

    4) Find a support network. Could be a weight watcher group (online or local), could be a friend, spouse.

    5) Make changes to your LIFESTYLE, and habits. Drink more water. Drink less caffiene, pop, alchohol. Eat WHATEVER you want…but eat sensibly and use portion control.

    6) Jumpstart your program by making homemade vegetable soup (cabbage, carrots, mushrooms, greenbeans, large can of low fat/sodium chicken broth) and having that with high fiber bread at lunch or dinner your first week. Drink 5-6 glasses of water every day.

    7) Commit to eating a healthy breakfast every morning. Make it a healthy one. High fiber cereal, eggs, yogurt, etc etc. Something other than a sugary muffin or bagel the size of Texas.

    8) If you like to snack, chose healthier snacks and watch your portions.
