I’m 14 and 5’4 and weight about 130 pounds, and I really hate how my body looks right now. I really need someone to help me come up with a weight loss exercise/diet plan to help decrease the amounts of fat on my body as fast, but safely and permanently, possible.
It’s very cold and snowy where I live and we don’t have any big exercise equipment (treadmill, elliptical, etc.) and I have limited space. I’ve also read about exercise called HIIT and some people say thats best for weight loss.
Please help :(

I’ve ridden English all of my life…strictly hunter/jumper, BHS and very proper. Recently, I’ve come across a few myspace/personal pages with young girls jumping or rearing bareback, swimming with horses, standing on their backs, do high step gaits to music, bowing, riding in no tack, etc. I know the fundamentals lie in Dressage and Natural Horsemanship, but we don’t see it much in the Northeast…especially not at this level, and I LOVE it!

Anyone with any experience? Are there special breeds? Is it a full training program? Any answers would be much appreciated!

We have exercise equipment(treadmill and eliptical) in our living room. They fold up, but the only place they fit is in our living area. Is there anyone out there that has any good design ideas for hiding or anything with exercise equipment located in your living room. Our house is about 1500 square feet, and the layout of our living room is open. Putting it in the garage is not an option because we have our washer and dryer out there. We would like to have company over, but because we don’t have anywhere to put our stuff we usually make an excuse that our house is messy(which its not it just looks cluttered with the two pieces of equipment.. ) anyone have any ideas? Thanks

How do I do strengthening exercises and stretches for my rear end? I don’t have a membership to a health club or anything. Any suggestions for stretches or work outs? My Quads and Hamstrings are fine.

First of all: nothing paid is an option, including medics.
I broke my left femoral head at age of 11 and suffered necrosis and minor bone deformations since then, including stop of growing during the necrosis. With that a chain of events happened. The angle I can open my leg is very limited because of the necrosis. That lead me to stop using it more and it became weaker and weaker, to the point that I only lifted it with the help of arms.

Well.. I am 25 now and have been in a personal fit program. It has many limitations because of this leg, including limitations in the other leg, problems to do sit ups due to limitted angle, and more important: serious limitations in running. I lose the left strength very quickly and keep almost jumping with one leg. Because of the angle limitation, the exercises I can do are limited, and more because of its weaknes. Example: I can only lift 3 kilos with it.
The question is: what can I do to improve my strenght and be able to run?

If I want to lose weight what exercises should I do?
I want to lose weight on every part of my body what kind of exercises do I need to do for this to happen?

Please don’t say treadmill or running or anything like that I want exercises I can do without workout equipment.

Howdy! Well, now that we’ve got a ton of snow I don’t want to go to the gym to exercise. So does anyone have any fun aerobic exercise ideas I can do in my apartment? Definitely has to be fun because I lose interest really easily. Usually at the gym I play basketball or badminton, something that will keep me engaged.

I don’t have a treadmill or any other exercise machines, the only equipment I have is an exercise ball which I like to use for sit ups, etc. But I feel like I need a good aerobics workout, too.

Also, I’m rather out of shape so nothing TOO hard. I’m not going to be doing any chin ups, for example.

Thanks!!!

Does anyone know the price per month for a membership at a 24 Hour Fitness club? I am interested in joining but can’t find a price on their website. Also, when you become a member, is it for a year or do you pay month by month. If I join and don’t like it will I be stuck with paying for a whole year or what? I’ve never joined a fitness club, but am wanting to soon! So any tips would be greatly appreciated!!!

I am currently taking classes to become a personal fitness trainer. I will only be able to be certified by ACE. So only one certification.

I have read most of Jonathan Kozol’s "The Shame of the Nation," and for our college summer reading assignment I’ve most recently read "The Working Poor" by David Shepler.

From what I can gather, from speaking about the cycle of poverty, the solution must be one that encompasses multiple problems at once. Because poverty is a cycle, no one event will break it, because they are all interconnected. Some of these basic issues include: poor education, poor motivation, hopelessness, (sometimes) malnutrition, early pregnancies, inexperience in the workplace, low self esteem… and the list goes on.

Some of the most successful programs that I have heard of (though few exist, from what little I hear of it) are those that coach people. In my personal opinion, the most helpful of these on a longer-term scale are those that focus on establishing an adult’s self-esteem and preparation/training for entering the workforce and maintaining a job.
Yet these programs work on very small scales — that is how they function, because the social workers and job trainers must work with a smaller group for more individualized success. Those trapped in poverty often come from a long line of failure in the family to rise above their economic status, and the same pattern continues with each generation. Low self esteem is built in from the start — that sense of hopelessness — and as this person matures into an adult, he/she lacks the right parental skills, lacks the confidence to be a role model for his/her children, lacks the sense of self-worth to prioritize attending work each day… etc.

Since poverty cycle issues are interconnected, I believe that a sense of low self esteem, if boosted in the long-term, would impact all the other problems seen in cycle.

So my question is then, how can we make these training programs more widespread?

gym memberships
Is prescribing gym memberships or excercise groups to fatties too late?

I saw a scheme on the news the other day, were fat people were being subscribed to gyms and such in order to loose weight.
They give us vaccinations, so isn’t the gym membership after your fat a bit too late?

Discuss.

It’s never to late to LOSE weight, fat need not be a permanent feature. People can and have successfully lost weight. What’s your plan to tackle obesity then?

I have 100. You have 5. 3 is what you need to live fairly comfortably – cable, internet, decent house, decent car, one big and one small vacation per year, health club membership, couple of nights out a month, and your bar tab of course.

I’m No. 10. Out of thousands. You’re at the 70th percentile.

Ten years from now, I have 160. I’ve slipped down to number 40 because so many people have even more. You’re at the 55th percentile and you have 8 or 9, and 4 is now what it takes to live comfortably. The "top 1%" have a greater percentage of the total wealth but the total wealth has increased and it’s not the same 1%.

Your ability to jump from 70th to 55th (Ginni coefficient) is the same as it used to be and it’s the same as it is in Scandinavia, but the gap between 55th and 70th is greater than it used to be and much greater than it is in Scandanavia (you have the same chances of increasing your income by K as a Scandanavian has of increasing his income by K.
Sorry Longhair but this is not something I’m giving you a pass on. This is my issue – reading up on this issue and learning that the raw data refute Krugman and Dobbs’ entire thesis were the catalysts of my interest in politics – - – and the reason I’m so good at this is that it didn’t work the other way around. I’m not a "con" who looked for articles to support my theses – - – I’m an ex-Lib who read the raw data and read what non-partisan economists had to say about it and said hold on, the class warfare argument is completely FOS.
