what exercises help lose weight and not gain muscle?
i want an alternative to normal running to lose weight, but i dont want to gain any (significant) muscle in the meantime. any suggestions, for fast results but not too strenuous for a teen. thanks (:
Every pound of muscle on your body consumes 50 calories of fat per day just to exist so don’t be afraid to add a little sexy muscle.
However, if you walk scientifically, you can burn off lots of fat in just 20 minutes a day and tone up the muscles you already have so they work more efficiently as fat-burners.

And if you eat mainly bread, pasta, potatoes and sugary beverages you’ll not lose any fat at all.

I am 16, and am about 5′5 and weigh about 124. I have pretty broad hips compared to my waist, how can I shed that weight off of my butt and hips, and inner thighs?
Thanks!
It might just be the way your built. Like me, I have HUGE hips and a very little waist. But still to try and even things out a bit, I got one of those pilates core balls. Do sit ups and twist to the side and trust me any fat you have around your hips will fall off. Walking is key too. But if You don’t like any of those, summing also helps alot too. Good luck =^_^=
What kind of exercises to lose weight of thighs ?
1 : I want it to be slim so if possible , show me a video of the exercises from the internet .
2 : What is the difference between thighs and inner thighs ?
Thanks for all the answers …
You won’t lose weight off of thighs simply if you do squats and lunges…even 1000 a day won’t make any difference except make them thicker + more muscular. If you want to shed excess fat storage from your thighs, do cardio. Your thighs and your butt are your body’s natural fat storage places, so when you shed pounds you’re going to see a difference there first. It will be most noticeable in your thighs, b/c that’s the fat storage place.
Combine squats and lunges with at least 40 min of cardio every day–I suggest jogging on the treadmill at 5.0 mph. Your thighs will be lean, slim and toned.
If you don’t want toned,
what is the best exercises to lose weight?
I have been running, walking, and jumproping for 30 minutes everyday. I have limited it to 30 minutes of cardio everyday and some other kinds of exercises for another 30 mintues.
I eat two times a day lunch and dinner and i only drink water. I drink alot of water everyday, and for snacks i eat fruits and vegtables like grapes and carrots.
I exercise twice a day, how long until i would start seeing results?
You don’t indicate your age in the question and there are certainly other issues but I’ll tell you my experience with the same issue.
There is no substitute for healthy weight loss for aerobic excercise. When I have been doing extensive aerobic exercise it seemed I could eat whatever I wanted and still lose weight.
I believe that running or walking (vigorously) are the best. Swimming is also excellent for toning and general health but I think

I am a high school girl looking for some excercies or workout routines that will help me tone and lose weight around my upper thighs.
Do you know anything that might work?
Actually walking will do this rather quickly if you walk every day. Walking will not only tone your thigh muscles directly but it also increases your metabolism which means more calories and fat burned even after your workout.
Many people dismiss walking because it’s so simple that it seems like it wouldn’t work. But walking produces amazing results and I’ve gotten tons of emails from visitors from my exercise site describing how well it worked and how surprised they were.
The key is walk daily and start slow with a 15 minute walk and move up to 30 minutes a day as you get more fit. I have no doubt that if you are looking to lose weight around your upper thighs

Here are six simple tips that will have you losing weight in a balanced and healthy way.
1. Lose weight with water.
Water is essential for everybody – it is also the key to losing weight. If you haven’t been drinking enough water, your body has developed a pattern of storing water. This water retention equals extra unwanted weight.
By drinking more water, you are not only flushing out toxins, you are also teaching your body that it no longer needs to store
