It all depends on the person and how committed they are.

Does this really work? Forgive my cynical thoughts, but as one of the millions of people who need to lose weight, I have tried at least a dozen weight loss programs before, and sad to say, only a rare few of them actually work. However, I do know that different programs work for different people, so perhaps it all depends on the person using it, eh? The FITT program makes sense, though, so I think I’m going to try this one.

For me personally, a low intensity workout leaves me wanting more. I agree that a higher intensity workout in a shorter amount of time works best in the long run.

My point exactly. You can use your kids if you want. Have them sit on your back, or on your shoulders. Spend time with them while getting fit. It’s awesome!

Tsk, tsk. Weights/resistance training rule. You can use your own body weight if you want. The improvements will show.

You may be packing on some muscle weight too, so factor that in as well.

For me it depends on where I am, what I am wearing and how much time I have. I try to get in at least 3 days of high intensity, short cardio. By short I mean 15 to 20 minutes. On the other hand, I enjoy going for a long 1 hour slow paced walk.

That’s right too. I personally like going to the gym. A place where I can let it all go and just play a game I like to call “FLESH AND BLOOD VS. IRON AND GRAVITY” - It’s awesome!

Kara,

If you hate lifting weights, there are more than enough alternatives. You can use your own bodyweight, sandbags, or even kettlebells. Personally, I’d rather train with these “old school” training methods than going to a gym. Best of all, you can do them in your own home! So, when you see someone say that you need to do weight resistance, it doesn’t mean that you have to lift one barbell or dumbbell.

I just started doing an exercise regiment and found this article very helpful. This has helped to re dedicate me and keep me going to the gym night after night!

I don’t understand that mindset. I believe there are a lot of ladies who feel the same way. Why do you feel like an idiot? Do you not know how to perform the lifts? I can assure you that resistance training benefits females just as much as males. There are numerous women basketball players in college who do resistance training and eat like cows… Thier muscle mass allows for a perfect calorie burning setup. Let me know if you have questions or what to discuss this further

“If you really want to lose that stubborn body fat, you need to combine weight training and cardio training. ”

I hate weight training… I always feel like an idiot trying to work with weights.

I would rather run on a treadmill or use the elliptical till I fall over before I have to use weights!

I agree with those tips but they apply for people who are in more advanced stages on their diets.
If you are starting or are very heavy (which is my case) you will not be able to do exercise with the required intensity that you need to see results.
I walking everyday and eating right for the past 3 weeks and I lost 10 pounds. The bottom line is obey your scale, if you stop losing weight and are eating properly is time to change your fitness routine.

I try to loose some weigh without going to the gym and i can say that 20 minutes walking per day will NOT do the trick.I’m walking 20 minutes per day (coming from work, doing push ups and eating only vegetables and light meant.I lost like 2 kg in 2 months.Is clear that i need to exercise at least 1 h per day if i want to see results.

Intensity is extremely important. Like the author says, 20 minutes of walking is not enough. Many people will do some type of low intensity exercise that really doesn’t get their heart rate up significantly. Starting out walking is ok, but it is important to continuously increase the intensity to truly be effective.

Good point. Increasing intensity means you can decrease time and the effects are often times better. Increasing the intensity of a weight lifting session can cut down the time it takes you to workout as well as increases fat burning.

I agree with most of your points. However, to achieve weight loss you definitely DO NOT need to do 30+ minutes of cardio. As you explain, FITT, if you increase intensity you can decrease time and essentially create a more effective workout. I have been doing that for years and it works.Lift HEAVY for 30-45 minutes, then do some sort of sprint/cardio (usually HIIT) training for 10-15 minutes.When I first started, it took a matter of a few months and I looked like I had lost 15-20 lbs, when in reality I gained 10 pounds of muscle (totally transformed my body). Other than that, your post is great, and I want to recommend a post I wrote on weight loss as well. There are a few simple steps to help you lose weight. Feel free to let me know what you think!
