Weight

[SmokeDragon]

I am a bit overweight. I want to get back under before I am too far gone. I also want to get nice and conditioned but I will worry about getting thinner and lighter first. Any good suggestions? I have tried not eating and eating healthy, I run when I can and that's about it, I am willing to do more but I am not sure what would help and what might waste my time.

In order to lose weight, you must take in less calories than you burn. In order to do this, you can diet to cut your intake, as well as exercise to increase your output.

 

One method of exercise to try is HIIT ( high intensity interval training ) This method is excellent for burning fat. If you are not familiar with it, you train in intervals. So if you are jogging, you would jog at a comfortable pace for say 2-3 minutes, then go all out for 30-60 sec, then repeat for 10-20 minutes.

 

Don't train endurance wise for more than 30 minutes. Your body will turn on the muscles for energy after that point, and fat loss will be minimal.

 

Also try to add some weight training. More muscle helps your body to use more calories.
