Help me get into shape for my May wedding?
Hi. I am 21, 5'4 and 152 pounds. I want to get into shape (atleast 140) and look great for my wedding on May 1st. I have a schwinn airdynne exercise bike which you move your arms and pedal. There is a hiking trail in my area that is four miles i can walk three days a week with my fiancee (as he has to drive me to because i dont have a car). I also have a pilates video, 10 pound hand weights, and stretch cords. How often should i exercise and for how long and what should i do? What should i eat? I have brocoli, cauliflower, bananna, apple, orange, lowfat yogurt, special k granola, almonds for snacks, and eggs for breakfast. I drink only water, some milk and orange juice occasionally. I will be going on adhd medicine tomorrow as well so will that cause me to gain weight? Thankyou.
Exercise in your EBZ (exercise benefit zone) for one hour a day. You know you're in your EBZ when you can't carry on a conversation while exercising. Walking or biking is fine, just push yourself to walk or bike rigorously enough that you can't chat while you're exercising. In addition, to lose weight, you want to eat fewer calories than you burn in a day. In other words, count your calories. Perhaps aim for no more than roughly 1500 a day, and eat things that will keep you full and that your body will process well. Whole grains, low fat yogurt, fruits (especially apples!), vegetables, and lean meats are all great. Almonds have tons of calories, so you might want to avoid them for the time being even though they're very good for you. You could also mix your orange juice with water if you want to try consuming fewer "empty" liquid calories. In general, drink lots of water every day, particularly before you eat a meal. Also, eat slowly (so your brain knows when you're actually full) and eat throughout the day (so you feel full often), but very small amounts. If you want your body to burn more calories at rest, you'll need to do a little bit of weight training. Every other day, lift weights that you can buy at a local store with your arms and do squats if you don't have a gym membership. Doing this will help your body burn more calories when it's at rest. Note that you may see your weight go up on the scale immediately after you start weight training, but this is normal: muscle weighs more than fat, and by lifting weights, you're building muscle. Ultimately, you'll look much leaner as a result. You just have to stick with it.
Good luck and stay committed. You can do it!
