   cardio. so walking, jogging, running, swimming, cycling, jump rope, etc. you burn more calories walking a mile than running a mile. but you burn more calories running for an hour than walking for an hour. do cardio for 20-60 minutes. but you should do resistance training as well, for muscle tone.

   Swimming is really good for helping one lose weight, but only you would know if you would be able to do that with your asthma. If you want to try it, you should do back stroke, that way you will be able to breathe as much as you need to, unlike the other strokes.

   I also use the elliptical for 30 minutes a day. It’s a pain to get started, but it makes a big difference. I lost 10 lbs in 2 months, by doing 30 minutes 5 days a week.

   Really any cardio driven workout is going to make you lose weight, but remember, consistency is key!

   preform HIIT, high intensity interval training, its definately the best way to burn fat, and the best thing is that you still eat fats.

   look it up on google, its really very good!!!!

   The MOST important thing is to eat naturally..without medicines, chemicals, “starving” your self etc.

   first, it would be best for you to eat as healthy as possible..this will also help you considerably to lose weight gradually and naturally..

   eat fresh fruits, vegetables, drink plenty of WATER..avoid all cokes, caffeines, smoking, alchohol etc. as these also add weight as well as they contain chemicals which disturb your natural bio rythmns as well as brain chemistry. try not to eat too much meat, and the meat you should eat should be “lean meat” such as steamed chicken and rice, or steamed fish with rice..and vegetables,, this should be your staple diet rice and vegetables with fruits..AVOID “JUNK FOOD” and “Fast Food” as this type of food is very unhealthy, lacking in vitamins really and has plenty of fattening molecules which make one gain weight and is not good .

   if you snack,, try fruits with yogurt or fruit yogurt and nuts.. nuts are very healthy for your body .and contain proteins.

   go for walks every evening or morning or whenever you get time each day for 1 hour or 2 hours..make this somewhere you enjoy walking even if you have to drive a bit to there..and make this a daily routine..you will enjoy it once you get into it ..and it makes you feel great after..just walking for 1 hour or 2 hours.

   if you do this..every day for one month ..you should lose at least 10 pounds per month until you get to your natural healthy weight..dont know what your height is,,but look up on the internet what your weight for your height should be ..and when you get to this weight,,your body will look very nice and you will feel very good.

   10 pounds each month in 3 months you should lose 30 pounds..for sure…but no junk food and dont drink alcohol or smoke, dont eat junk..just healthy food with vitamins and walking 1 hour or 2 hours every day..and drink plenty of water..this is guaranteed way to lose weight naturally and for good, if you stick to this, which you should,,as it makes you feel so much more positive due to the vitamins and lack of chemicals making you feel depressed…

   btw, forgot to mention,,just in case you dont know how to really make healthy meals..buy a “food steamer” at your local deparment store..they are very cheap and work very well..as well as buy a “rice cooker” which is also very cheap..eating rice is a great way to get your necessary carbs “healthy carbs” to lose weight and has lots of natural energy inside. you can buy asian rice at most large supermarkets or if you have a local oriental market..they sale quality asian rice.. thai or indian rice is good “jasmine rice”.. buy corn or canola oil to sprinkle on vegetables or rice before steaming to add to taste as well as you can buy several nice spices like “cumin” or “Curry powders”, etc.just sprinkle on the vegetables before steaming to give nice taste.

   drink “Green Tea” as this is very healthy and helps burn extra fat faster…you can buy quality green tea at most oriental shops or large supermarkets as well

   Best thing to do is pick a half marathon coming up in about a year’s time, sign up for it and then train for it.

   Period.

   The fact that you have a race coming up will keep you focused and give you a strong reason to go running.

   As you also struggle with asthma, try power walking for 20 minutes a day until your fitness level increases. Then start power walking for longer until you feel ready to try running, then start doing intervals where you sprint for a minute then walk for 30 seconds. Complete about 20 minutes of this in the morning just before breakfast and last thing before dusk.

   Just so you know, power walking is walking so fast that you are almost in a jog.

   It might be worth researching something called tabata training, combine tabata with cardio and you will lose weight.

   Just remember, however, that it’s your lifestyle as a whole that is just as important. Not just exercising. My own mum recently lost a stone in 2 weeks simply by diet alone.

   Try eating every a very very small but healthy meal every 3 hours, drink 8 glasses of water a day and try keeping carbohydrates, fats and calories to a minimum.

   As a guide, your weight in Lbs x 10 is the amount of calories you should eat to lose weight.

   I’m 170lbs, so 170 x 10 = 1700

   If i were to lose weight, that’s what i should be eating.

   Good luck!

   If you want to lose weight faster, you’ll need to eat less and exercise more. Bottom
   line: 1,050 to 1,200 calories and one hour of exercise a day (but be sure not to dip
   below this calorie level for safety’s sake). On this type of plan, you can expect to
   lose 3-5 pounds the first week.

   Check out those websites below. They have many helpful tips. Hope that helps. 🙂
