I want to get back in shape!

Walking immediately after meals is a bad idea, it can result in acid reflux and indigestion. However, walking about half an hour after meals is known to be good for you. Researchers in the Department of Exercise Science at the University of South Carolina have found that walking post some rest after meals is a good way to burn energy.

The point to note is when to walk, you should ideally walk for about 10 minutes and only 20-30 minutes after meal to prevent acid reflux and stomach upsets.

A good leisurely walk after meals helps set the metabolism to a good level, gives your muscles a stretch and is a better option than promoting fat deposition by lying on the sofa watching TV.

BF at 7:30 is good. But then there is a huge gap b/t 7:30 and 1:00. You should have taken a light snack at around 10:30-11:00. Halwa Poori isn't a very healthy thing to eat. It contains too much oil and is too much sweet. Skipping meals won't help you. If you think you won't eat anything and then just have the dinner, it'll be even worse. As I said; take meals but reduce the quantity. Eat 5 times a day but in lesser quantities. Don't let your stomach stay empty as it'll starve and when you'll eat, it'll store food. Whenever you feel hunger, have something (just a snack) to eat just to kill your hunger. Eventually, you'll not feel hungry all the time.

kcal is just calories and not x 1000. You can't judge how much you have burned on the treadmills unless you are using the one where you have to put your weight. It gives you a better idea. When you don't have too much fat, your calories burn at a slower pace. I burn upto 500 kcals in 35 mins with a combination of modes such as walking, jogging, running, incline etc.

If you are not overweight, then normal walking is fine. But if you are over weight and have to reduce, you have to sweat as much as you can so that you can reduce. Once you've reduced, you can walk normally to maintain it.

You love it, but if you love yourself, you've to control. I know it is very difficult, even I am struggling, but remember one thing, there is no gain without pain.

i dont walk immediately after the food intake
i have the dinner at 7:30 n go for walk at 9:30 or 10pm
b4 that i used to walk from 6:30 to 7:30 which was good time as there was a great gap after the lunch but then dinner right after that was pretty bad so shift the timing to after the dinner
there was a gap between break fast n halwa pori because of the class i had to attend
i didnt exactly had halwa with poori,u can say it was poori with chana's n a little bit of halwa to avoid the fat
imagine i love gulab jaaman so much that i can eat lots of them,but i didnt had even a single one everytime sweet came home
it was my mistake to had paratha's in ramzan,i should have gone for roti instead,i gained 4kg in ramzan
i think i am not over weight,
my height is 6.1feet n weight is 83kg,i am not fat,its just the tummy :mad:
today in lunch i had one roti though i was feeling full at only half :o whereas i was feeling hungry in class
had water b4 the lunch,avoided during it n had only one sip after it

yesterday i went to sleep around 4pm n got up at dinner time,so there wasnt even much time for lunch either otherwise might have felt hungry but i think 2 chana poori was enough for a lunch

so far em walking at normal speed n increasing distance gradually
will increase speed once stamina is built n then on to jogging

i agree, which i should have mentioned. one tends to overeat after a strenuous work out which negates the exercise. control over diet is the key

yea thats true
one does feels hungry after work out,controlling the diet is the key

just returned from a walk of 45min
had walk of 15min + 15min around 6pm as well

em not feeling well,asthma + feeling ill + headache since morning but still i went out for walk as whenever i miss one day whole routine comes to an end
now when i came back i tried this exercise

i've got a simple exercise to rein in the tummy. lie face down on a hard surface(no carpet) and lift your legs up, grab your ankles and arch your upper body in a U shape exerting pressure on your stomach. Do this 20 times slowly and without overly strectching your body. This step will reduce flatulence and keep your tummy from expanding and is loosley based on a yoga exercise.

i'd like a link to see if i was doing it correctly
then did 10 vertical crunches,though i had a bad experience with it but i guess i have to do some extra work as well,then started pushups did only 2 n then stopped thinking about my condition + they arent for tummy,they are for shoulders

i guess em feeling less hungry is because em not well

[wasif111]

Thanks you bhai

first of all i am not senior,

2nd thanks for the correction i know i have crossed the line and i apologize for that, wont happen again.

in other words, ainda bhai ko tang nahee karoon ga.

[wasif111]

yes agree i know its hard to drink 5 liter for those who are in business or sales who have to move around all day..
but person like me who is most of the time in front of the computer, its easy for me to drink more and more water as washroom is next to my door...but believe me its the most easy way to lose weight..

u sure look better than b4
6km running = jogging,wow so thats how you reduced weight

5 litre is alot of water
if one sits all day at home or in washroom then sure 5 litre is no problem

i remember now that i saw these yoga steps to reduce tummy in a book, but i'll check on the net or go to my local library and find the book and scan the pages , which is where i came upon this exercise. this has worked wonders for me and i don't even have to fire my boilers with a ciggy in the morning to empty my stomach ever since...lol

[Silver_Knife]

I have spent solid 30 mins reading all the replies iam also facing the same problem as op.. I have gained enormous amount of weight from last year.. Have become damn lazy and spend most of my time infront of pc playing games..

A year back i used to jog 11km daily with 50 push up and 150 reach ups.. But due to university commitments i eventually left jogging..

Pic at that time:

Now:

Have get rid of my gpu and left playing games.. And now have started belly exercise.. Iam thinking to leave all those 3 c's chapati, cheen etc

Kindly tell me a normal nestle juice will do the job or fresh juice?

[margallar]

the brisk walk is just to make my stamina, i want to start jogging

[awais.9]

brisk walk = fast walking?
i do normal walk which is sort of fast but neither slow nor fast something in between,once i make stamina then fast n then jogging
