Pilates for Weight Loss?
Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
Question: Just bought Element: Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners, rated #1 on Amazon..
I need to lose 20-30 lbs in the next 12-13 weeks
I’m starting my diet today (any recipes APPRECIATED
)
I just want some routine in my workouts.. Don’t wanna do the same thing every day
I’m going to the gym 3-4x a week.. I work a lot so I don’t have that much time to go
Just bought zumba dvds to do a few times a week
Also, I already have been doing Bikram Yoga for a month or so
Now I just purchased Element: Pilates Weight Loss for Beginners..

For the experts out there: Is my goal possible? Considering I am a full time college student and work 30-40 hours a week. I figure if I switch up my routine every week I will never get bored.
I really do need recipes though lol.. I don’t know anything about food.. I might end up eating salad every day for every meal (no sir lol).
Answer: 1 hour pilates burns 1 50 gm mars bar / 2 tim- tams
i suggest running. all you really needed was runners and an mp3 player and the visualisation of fitting into this awsome dress uv always wanted to wear
also go vegetarian. LAY OFF SUGAR, its the devil for us gals who wanna loose weight. I know its hard as hell but its worth it later, if u really cant stop then just one little block ( no not the 100 gm block, the 10 gm square) and nibble at it forever.. your brain just needs signal that uv satisfied your craving!
dont block carbs 100% , if you ate lets say 1 cup rice (boiled) and 4 bread slices a day, i say eat 2 ( maybe 1 even) slice and 1/2 cup rice but stack on those vegges and TOFU ( tofu = protien = fulfillment= not feelin starved )
i love peanut or cashew sauce on my veggies ( soak the peanuts or cashews overnight and then blend with light coconut milk the next morning, make it as thin or thick as you want) and tofu tastes like heaven with a nutty flavour, tofu takes on any flavour that you give it, just like chicken so yeh.
i like broccoli salad, i boil broccoli, then chill it, then cut raw carrots thinly but long, and then i put some sesame seeds in it and top it with sesame seed sauce (made the same way as the one i just mentioned) , or you could get lemon, olive oil and pepper , shake it and make french dressing!
be creative, sometimes i dont mind apples in my vegge salad, it gives the dish a sweet touch.
good luck!
(vote me up if u think my advice was genuine, also check out the link to see why im a fan of tofu)

1. sit with an erct posture on the ground. both legs crossed. this is the common position in all yogic asanas. then take a deep breath. this should then be forcefully expelled from your nose by applying force on your stomach. follow this action continuously @ 2/sec. in the beginning do only 30 reps at a stretch. then rest for a while. restart and repeat the cyle for 5-10 times. do not exert yourself. you will succeed gradually. as ur capacity increases do these sets for 10-15 mins daily, increasing the reps and sets accrdng 2 ur convinience
2. leg raises while lying down and twisting exercises also form an essential part of yoga. but i am sure u must be knowing that already. the pranayam is as na effective substitute for overweight/obese people, or those suffering fro joint aches who cant afford to do cardiovascular workouts.
note. these exercises need to be done on an empty stomach. so it is important that u havent eaten anything 3-4 hrs prior to doing these exercise. hence early morning is the best time to perform yoga. 1/2 na hour will put u enroute to a life of healthy living
