Extra Easy Exercise help!!!

[vickster21]

Has anyone done exercise that really helped them with their weight loss??

Whenever I seem to go to the gym I don't loose any weight

I just wondered if there was something I was doing wrong....help

It definitely helps as you burn more calories and if you weight train you build a little muscle too which is good as muscles burns more calories than fat

But there can be a period of adjustment where your muscles retain fluid to repair micro tears and sometimes that shows as a gain. The answer to fluid retention is to drink more water and it should soon level out again

I do four days cardio and either one or two days weight training depending if I want one or two days off per week. My cardio involves a routine in the gym or a run. But when I run i tend to slight gain but the week after it usually comes back off.
My weight training tends to be body pump classes. Has helped tone up a lot!

Hi vickster

I'm the same.... I find when I exercise the weightloss is really slow as in a pound a week... Then the week I didn't exercise and ate double what I normally would I lost 3 and a half... You would think it would be the other way round

I don't find that exercises slows my losses - the opposite in fact. I exercise 5 times a week and have done since I started SW in January. I started off doing exercise DVDs in my living room but now run regularly and go to the gym. I do find that if I'm doing lots of exercise I need to be careful to eat enough and drink lots of water. But I generally lose between 1 and 3 lbs a week still and I'm more than happy with that.

Thanks for the advice guys. Think I'm just going to carry on working out regardless I'm sure it will start to show
