Is it possible to lose weight doing fitness class 5x a week

missbutterfly92

I absolutely HATE it in the gym. I find working out on treadmills and cross-trainers really boring and I give up too easily but I do not want to give up trying to get fit. I prefer fitness classes as there are people to motivate you and it is more fun. My schedule will be this, 5 classes per week.

* Zumba
* Step Aerobics
* Body Combat
* Body Pump
* LBT (legs, bums & tums)

All which are 60min workout.

Will I lose lots of weight this way? I am under my calorie goals and I am also a housekeeper so getting a minor workout there, and I am aiming to lose 1.5lb a week. Thanks

As long as you eat in a deficit, you will lose weight.

Exercise is for health/fitness. It will help get you into a deficit, but it's not necessary for that aspect.

As such, hit your Calorie goal (provided it's set to lose weight) and you will lose weight.

If you weigh and log your foods accurately to your chosen calorie defecit goal you will lose weight

If you don't over-estimate your calorie burns from exercise that is

The exercise is immaterial to weight loss (apart from mental gains, fitness gains, extra calories, mood enhancement of course)

How many calories a day basic are you on? I have just started this same routine but the excersize ups my calorie in take requirements and I can never eat enough. I struggle with 1200 a day !..

I am on 1,420 calories a day. Same here, I actually have to eat LOADS of healthy food to reach my calorie goal, including calories earned by exercise.
