Lunch – Salad, tuna
Dinner- mum cooks a healthy dinner.
Plus I have nuts inbetween and fruit when I’m feeling hungry and I don’t eat after dinner.
I drink alot of water
I don’t exercise enough, but I don’t know what to do.
I’m not fat, but I’m curvy, I don’t like my belly or legs.
I have a pool but it hasn’t been hot enough to get in, I like swimming but not very strong at it and I’m not very strong at running,
I have a treadmill, how long should I go on it?

how tall are you?
I’d try jogging on the treadmill every day, not hard, but just enough to get your heart going and breathing a little harder, and maintain that speed for a little bit, say, 10-15 minutes at first and then try a little more. you’ll probably find that if you do a little too much, your legs will be sore, but that there will be a window where your legs and maybe midsection will be a little tingly and “worked” feeling, thats good.
if you are eating healthy like you say, and you add just that sort of exercise it could help you lose weight a little.

Doing an effective whole body conditioning and weight loss workout
can be done entirely at home without any fancy equipment. A couple of
dumbbells is all you will need. (Even if you don’t have dumbbells
there is usually something lying around the house that is heavy enough
to substitute in for them).
Here is a list of 20 exercises you can do right in your own home for
a great whole body conditioning and fat loss workout.
Exercises:
Group 1:
Bodyweight Squats
Bulgarian Split Squats
Y-Squats
Prisoner Squat
Reverse Lunge
Step Ups
One Leg “Get Ups”
Group 2:
Push Ups
Push Up and Point
Mountain Climbers
Decline Push Ups
Push Ups/Stick Ups
Step Up and Press
Squat and Press
Group 3:
Plank
Side Plank
Curl and Press
One Arm Rows
Bird Dogs
One Leg Deadlifts
Pick one exercise from each group and do them all back to back for a
mini circuit of 3 exercises. Do each exercise for a timed interval of
10 seconds for a total of 30 seconds per mini circuit.
As you get better at them work up to doing each exercise for 20
seconds for a total of 60 seconds per mini circuit.
Take 30-60 seconds rest between mini circuits.
For beginners do a total of 3 mini circuits to start. Working up to 4
or 5 as you get better at them.
Once you’re ready to move to the next level add a second mini circuit
by choose 3 different exercises (one from each grouping). Do your
second mini circuit with the same time of work to rest ratio as your
fist.
If you feel you are already at an advanced level you can add one or
two more mini circuits up to a total of 4 mini circuits. These 20
exercises are just an example of what is possible, there are dozens
more that would work in this mini circuit style, you can incorporate
any exercise that you like into these mini circuits. This style of
workout is a great complete whole body conditioning and fat loss
program you can do right at home in under 45 minutes.
