Walking or running are exercises to keep in shape, not to get in shape. And there is a big difference. Start going to a gym. They have personal trainers there and they can design a work out program that concentrates on the areas of your body, that you wish to improve. Don’t get me wrong, continue to do what you are doing now but you have to also make the extra effort.
You need to boost your metabolism back up to where it used to be. I am over 45, and lost 25 in 5 months by doing it the old-fashioned way; exercise and calorie counting.
I worked up to going to aerobics classes 5 days per week, and lifted weights every other day. I limited my calorie intake to 1200 per day and made sure I ate healthy foods and took multi-vitamins.
I am now a size 3, down from a size 12, and my muscles are extremely well-defined and sexy. I get whistles from the college boys now. The first couple months I started this I hated it, but I forced myself to go NO MATTER WHAT every day, and by the fourth month I started to see and feel a huge difference. It is worth it - Just DO It!
HERE ARE THE BASICS:
1. you lose weight by consuming fewer Calories than you burn
2. you gain weight by consuming more Calories than you burn.
3. you should be concerned with losing FAT, not weight.
4. You should be more concerned with your percent body fat, not your weight.
5. the best, most effective way or burning fat is by combining weight-training and cardio exercise. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolism will be. You will burn more calories all day long, including while you sleep. A health body fat percentage for males is 7-18%, females 18-24% (approximate numbers).
6. you should eat 6-8 small meals each day - this will prevent you from eating 3 large meal which will slow your metabolism while your body works to digest the large quantity of food.
As a general rule of thumb, you should be weight-training 3-4 times per week and performing cardio 3-5 times per week.
Consider hiring a personal trainer (ISSA certified) and a nutritionist. The money spent on these services is worth more than spending money on pills and potions.
