Fitness plan help

Mugatuu

Hi,
Just wondering if ye would help me do up a fitness/work-out plan for the next 10 weeks until I'm back in college where I have more regular access to the gym again. I joined Curves and its just not for me at all! my membership is up in 2 weeks so I'm going to continue using it until then. I have been going to curves for the last few weeks, 4 times a week and walking 4 miles in the evenings.

Bit more backround, Female, 5'6 and 154lbs. I'm sorting out my diet and have cut out all junk food. I want to get down more weight and get fitter. I lost a good bit of weight over the last year and want to keep it up.

Today's diet consisted of:
Breakfast - Porridge made with low fat milk and a coffee
Lunch - sliced chicken on brown bread with lettuce and small amount of low fat mayo, an apple and coffee
Snack -hazlenut yogurt and a small orange
Tea - omlette with cheese and ham.

I would really appreciate any help / tips ye have.

Biggest tip I can give you is watch the foods you eat. Stay clear of sugar. Research ingredients in foods and be sure to understand the meanings of all sneaky ingredients-names. Secondly do cardio at least three to four times a week. If you can conquer this, you are on the right path. Get yourself into a workout routine and set goals, aim high. Alcohol and smoking is also a no go area, unless the occasional glass of red wine! Good luck with it.

Losing weight is nearly all down to diet but a good exercise routine makes it much easier as well.

Your diet looks very low calorie do you have any idea how many calories you're taking in? For the diet specifically I'd get rid of the low fat versions of milk and mayo and replace them with full fat versions. I'd replace the bread with a salad and a lot of veg in it. Is there no dinner or you forgot to include it? Assuming theres none you need to get more meat and veg in definitley. Just taking a look at this though I think you need to eat a lot more if you really want long term last weight loss.

Getting fit is a good plan and it seems like you know what you like. What is your reason for leaving curves? Keep up the cardio if you enjoy it and it would help a whole lot if you done some resistance exercises. There are a lot of health benefits to resistance exercise.

There are loads of free workouts on this site. I've been using it the past few weeks and find it really good.

Only thing you need and the only thing that is sure to work to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit. Its that simple. Whether you do that through diet or exercise or a bit of both (best) is up to you. Id say 1500cals a day with as much cardio as your doing should do it at first. Biggest mistake to avoid is being too aggressive at first. The goal should be to do as little and to eat as much as possible while still achieving you weight loss target (1-2lbs week)so when weigjt loss slows or stops you can get slightly more agressive to get things moving again. In 10 weeks you can make pretty good progress . Good luck!
