you got a jump rope, or just a rope. ok. do each of these a day. and punish your self if you forget. like, no dinner, no desert, tell your family and friends about this to, let them help you
jump rope for 10 minutes each day.
(if you dont know what they are, ask me) ten squats (keep your back straight), after the first ten, do another ten, but during each squat, when you are bending your knees as much as you can, jump into a push up position and do a push up. then jump back up onto your feet, and keep on repeting. go to just squats, squat push ups, squats, squat pushups, like that 5 time (5 times 10=50)
get 2 objects, 30 feet away from each other. for 30 seconds, run back and forth as fast as you can, touching the top of the objects. repet 10 times, rest a minute in between.
drink alot of water, at least 8oz a day. it sounds crazy, but the more water you drink, the less will be in your body.
sweat alot.
hope i helped!!!! =)
Try contracting MRSA. It does wonders for your skin.
well p90x is good, i would buy P90x if i was you, if you don’t have the physical requirements then just start from beginner and make your way up to advance in P90x
I would recommend the Abs Diet, by David Zinczenko, the editor of Men’s Health. It’s very motivating, not hard to start and stick with, and is more of an eating for life plan.
As far as weight loss, P90x kills even those who are really fit! I would recommend you get online and look for a beginner’s 5k or 10k training program. You will work up your stamina through running, and in the beginning you’ll just jog/fast walk anyway. I lost 10 pounds in the first month trianing with mine. Running is the best way to shed pounds, in my opinion, when mixed with weights too.
Good luck!
I have used P90x for the past 75 days to help loose over 20 pounds, 6 inches off my belly, and 11% body fat.
I’m 29 and used to weigh 269lbs. Here are my pics http://bit.ly/P90x_Progress
I did the fit test and couldn’t do a pull up. I tried running – but found that I was hurting my knees and back, so I decided to use P90x to help me loose some excess weight.
There are other recommended programs, but I picked P90x because it had an easy to follow exercise and nutrition program – plus you have the support of others in Team Beachbody to help you out.
If you have any questions, please let me know. I would like to help you out. bcui@beachbodycoach.com

Weight loss is an overall process and there are no magic answers. Pay no attention to weight loss supplements and pills and all the latest fads. You need to think about many factors but most of them are related to issues we’ve known about for a very long time. There are many sensible things you can do that will make a tremendous difference over the long term if you need to lose weight. It can be done in a healthy way. This is what has worked for me.
Keeping a food journal really does help. It will give you a much better sense of how much you are eating, and when, and why.
Make a few additional small changes – walk everywhere, always use stairs instead of elevators, walk on escalators, get up and move around at least once an hour if your work or your life in general is sedentary, walk every day, use a pedometer. Walking 10,000 steps a day is a really good idea. Build up to a long brisk walk everyday, or most days. Be more active and watch less TV and spend less time on the computer. Buy one piece of exercise equipment to have at home and be strict with yourself about using it. Sometimes you can find mini-steppers or exercise bikes at second hand stores and thrift stores for just a few dollars.
Start a weight lifting routine. Join a gym. Possibly you can find one that has someone who specializes in weight lifting programs for beginners. Weight lifting will increase your metabolism as well as improve posture and appearance overall. Even if you can’t get to the gym you can work out at home using things around the house. Invest in a good weight training book. The Dummies series actually has a good one.
In terms of diet, cut out or reduce things like junk food, pop, fat, fast food. Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, fish. Particularly if you choose a vegetarian lifestyle include natural peanut butter, hummus, dried fruit and nuts. Pay close attention to getting the nutrients your body needs to be healthy.
Make your portion sizes smaller. Use a smaller plate – in our society we have become accustomed to thinking that we need a large plate of food at every meal, and we don’t. About quarter of your plate of food should be protein and at least half of it should be veggies.
Learn to count calories. At your current weight and activity level, you may possibly need about 2000 calories or more to maintain your current weight. So you will lose weight at a reasonable and healthy rate if you cut back to about 1600 or 1700 calories a day.
Eat small amounts frequently, rather than three large meals. Never skip breakfast. Include some protein in your breakfast. It will help get you through the day.
Drink plenty of water, at least 8 big glasses of water a day, and more if it is very hot, if you sweat a lot, or if you are exercising intensely, and eliminate fruit juices. Fruit juices have too many calories, so get your vitamins from fresh fruit, not the juice. You will begin to see changes in your body.
Vary your routines. Don’t eat the same number of calories every day (vary your calories from 1400 a day to 1900 or 2000 some days), eat a variety of foods, and do different kinds and amounts of exercise. You will lose weight much more efficiently if you mix things up from time to time so that your body doesn’t adjust to any one routine.
An area that many people overlook is getting enough sleep. You are much more likely to overeat or to binge eat if you are tired and not well rested, so get enough sleep.
Check out websites about nutrition, exercise, weight training, etc.
