Weight training is good for burning calories because you build muscles that burn calories even while you sleep. You should also watch what you eat, exercise isn’t everything. I didn’t lose any significant weight until I got and nutritionist to help me. Only after she helped me fix my diet and eating habits I started shedding the pounds and learned how to keep them off and stay healthy. Talk to an advisor from

1) Eat more steam food, lean meat, lean protein, vegies and fruits

2) Cut out the junk food, soda drinks and snacks.  Get rid of the junk food from the cupboards!  Eat cashew / almond nuts instead.

3) drink plenty of water / green tea

4) Exercise - look at combining weights and cardio into your program.  you can look at alternating upper and lower body exercises without rest, say bicep curls, then lunges , rest and repeat.  With cardio, try sprinting 100m, jog 100m and repeat.

Here's a review link to Turbulence Training


5) Have 5-6 healthy meals a day(1 plate portions) to keep your body satisfied

6) if you have cravings drink water or eat fruits

Cardio Workouts at the Gym

The following workouts should give you some ideas on how to spice up your workouts and burn more calories by raising and lowering the intensity. Modify each workout according to your fitness level and feel free to increase or decrease speed, incline and/or workout time to fit your needs.

For each exercise, warm up with 5-10 minutes of light cardio and keep track of your Perceived Exertion or monitor your heart rate.

End with a cool down and stretch. Treadmill

  • Start with incline at zero and speed at a comfortable pace (walking or jogging). Perceived Exertion (PE)=Level 5 (5= 50% effort)
  • 1 Minute: Raise incline one or more percent every 15 seconds. PE=5-6
  • 1 Minute: Reduce the incline one percent every fifteen seconds. PE=6-7
  • 3 Minutes: Walk or jog at a steady pace. PE=5
  • Repeat entire cycle for 30 or more minutes
  • Approximate calories burned: 320(based on 140 lb person)

Elliptical Trainer

  • Using manual program, enter workout time as 30 minutes and choose appropriate level
  • 6 Minutes: Set ramps (if option) and resistance levels at medium level. PE=5
  • 2 Minutes: Set ramps at highest level and increase resistance every 30 seconds. PE=6-8
  • 2 Minutes: Lower ramps and resistance to comfortable level. PE=5
  • 6 minutes: Set ramps and resistance to medium and go backwards. PE=5-6
  • Repeat entire cycle for remaining time
  • Calories Burned: 250-300 (based on 140 lb person)

Bike

  • Using the manual program, enter your workout time as 30 minutes and choose appropriate level
  • 5 Minutes: Cycle at a comfortable pace. PE=5.
  • 5 Minutes: Raise level several increments and decrease a level every 30 seconds. PE=6-8.
  • 5 Minutes: Cycle at comfortable pace. PE=5.
  • 5 Minutes: Raise level higher than before and decrease a level every 30 seconds. PE=6-8
  • 5 Minutes: Cycle at comfortable pace. PE=5.
  • 5 Minutes: At current level, increase a level each minute. PE=7-8.
  • Calories Burned: 245 (based on 140 lb person)

Hit the Road

Instead of spending 40 minutes inside a sweaty gym, head outside for a walk/run.

  • Warm up with a brisk walk/slow jog for 5-10 minutes.
  • Jog/walk briskly for 3 minutes
  • Sprint or speed walk for 30 seconds
  • Repeat this cycle 6 for the remaining time, keeping PE between 5-8.

As you can see, it's easy to spice up your workouts by playing around with your speed, incline and resistance and alternating high intensity intervals with recovery periods. This not only keeps you from getting bored, it also helps burn more calories and increases your endurance very quickly. Use this technique with any cardio activity to keep things interesting!

One of the diets that helped me lose weight and burn more calories was

calorie shifting diet.  The reason it works is that with this diet you generate a meal plan that shows you each day how to eat small portion of the meals but actually 4 meals a day.  This way you are never completely full, but you do eat the food that speeds up your metabolism. Plus eating smaller meals more frequently speeds up your metabolism on its own, causing your body to lose weight.
