exercise advice needed plz. . - MiniMins.com

brocher · 19th May, 2009

hi, on my second week of LT, lost 9.7lb first week

and i'm wondering about what exercises i could do. due to my calorie intake being so low, was thinking of joining a gym, found a local one which only charges a one of fee of £20 then £2 a session ( cheap but pretty good gym). but wasn't sure what kind of exercise would be best ie, cardio or weights. any advice would be good,
p.s ur all doing so great and coming on here keeps me motivated

Weights is better. Cardio can actually slow down your weightloss. But take it easy, and drink plenty of water. Because LT is burning your fat at such a fast pace, you should do muscle workouts, and tone up. Being on LT for so long, it was eating at my fat but then started moving onto my muscles. So best you strengthin them up

thanks yasmine for the advice

p.s congrats on your weightlose,

xsarahloux · 20th May, 2009

yes i agree with Yasmine, everything i've heard says to do toning excercises only. i've taken up Yoga to help with this!!

IrishMum · 20th May, 2009

Ditto what Yas & Sarah-lou said. All advice I've been given is to avoid cardio and work on toning up (walking, pliates, yoga, weight-reps etc.). You don't want to upset the delicate intake-expenditure balance going on while on LT, so take it gently and you'll be fine!

happydaystocome · 20th May, 2009

what do you all think about going swimming ?

Doirin · 20th May, 2009

Hi Brocher,
congratulations on your first weigh in, you did very well, good for you. I wonder about exercise as well - but have nothing to add to that except everyone says do the toning exercises. Best of luck to you.

Your welcome monica and thank you very much for the compliment

happydaystcome, swimming is just as great, it's gentle, simple and works out all the bodies muscle groups. Very good exercsie to do indeed

bigtosmall · 20th May, 2009

This goes against everything the woman at LT told me!!!! I rang the helpline to ask them and she said take it easy for the first week and after that no problems with either cardio or resistance training. She said just ensure you drink more water to replace the sweat.

You do have to drink more water than usual when exersising yes, but a lot of people on LT have had slow weight losses from cardio exersise. I cardio for some weeks and I usually lost about 2-3lbs , which to me wasn't good enough.

But doing reps and muscle workouts for a week, I lost about 5lbs.

happydaystocome · 20th May, 2009

thanks yasmine for all your help

Yasmine · 20th May, 2009

Any time

pizzle84 · 20th May, 2009

Swimming is a good exercise to do. Any kind of gentle exercise is fine just done go mad and over do it.

natters · 20th May, 2009

i've been doing lots of walking - i find it curbs the cravings and boredom if i go with a friend, and cos i do lots of chatting i don't notice how far i've walked!! im not normally one for exercise but i will definitely carry this on after ive finished LT

Yasmine · 20th May, 2009

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise you can do, walk it all off!
