HI, I am a 28yr old female that is 5′3 and weighs 160. I carry all my weight in my stomach, sides, and lower back. I would like to lose 20-30lbs in 6 months…in time for my wedding. :o)
I need help with a workout program I can do at home with free weights (I also have a kettlebell) and an elliptical.
My goals are to: lose weight, tone arms and abs (lower), and build muscle on my gluteous maximus.
I would like to know exactly what exercises I should do and when to do them. i have been told that it is good to work 2 areas a day, say back and arms on one day, and legs and abs another. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks..and wish me luck!
**please do not post anything about diet pills**
I want help losing wight by EXERCISING!!!!!

I’m in need of a decent workout to gain strength and muscle mass for sport next year.
I don’t particularly want to join a gym but at home i have dumbells, kettlebells and a pull up bar.

Can anyone please inform me of some good exercises focusing on the abdominal muscles, back, arms and chest?

Thanks in advance!

I’ve been using a 16 kg kettlebell for about 6 weeks now, alongside daily swimming and exercise bike sessions. I’ve lost 11 lbs, feel healthier, fitter, and can feel a real difference in strength in my upper body already. What I’m wanting to do now though is bulk-up quite a bit, especially in my shoulders, chest and arms. If I move up to a 24kg kettlebell will I be able to develop a noticeably bulky muscle mass over the next year if I train hard 3 times a week? Is this weight heavy enough to do this?

I read they can improve your jumping, strenght and mobility qualities.

in some Italian bodybuilding forums i read they are a sort of weights but better because they forced some muscles that without those aren’t enough trained, that with normal weights it’s hard to train.

They say that many Basketball, Football and Rugby players use those, to improve explosivity, body control and athletism

Is that true? Is there someone of you who use it?
If i wanna buy, do them cost a lot??!

i’m doing at the moment plyo-metrics exercises to maintein my elevation or improve it…. Should i stop or can i do it with Kettlebells exercises at the same time?

Thanks

I am 34 years old and quit smoking 7 months ago. I have always been petite and been able to eat whatever I want without any weight issues. Growing up I was a professional dancer but have not really done any physical exercise in the past 15 years.
5 months ago I put on 10lbs. For a 5 tall person that is A LOT and I no longer fit in any of my clothes. Determined to be healthy and not revert back to smoking I began doing Kettlebell and CrossFit workouts 4-5 times a week and have drastically change my eating habits (I follow the Zone diet).
I continue to GAIN weight. I am up another 5 pounds and it is not muscle as my clothes do not fit any better. I am increasing my cardio to 4 times a week (Spin for 45Min’s) and keeping my calories to 1200 but have no results.
Any suggestions would be most helpful!
No , I do not snack a lot .
