All you need for weight loss is a calorie deficit.
If your asking about your workout routine I am partial to compound lifts (squats, deadlift, bench, OHP, rows). Machines take stabilizer muscles out of the equation.0 -
How long are the slow down periods ?0

How long are the slow down periods ?
One minute
All out One minute, slow down one minute and repeat for 20 minutes.
If you can do 20 just do as much as you can your endurance and stamina will come the more you do it.0 -
10 mins free weights on arms
x3 sets of crunches, x3 sets of squats
plank for 1 minute
then alternate day using weight machines on my arms and then legs, 20 mins each time.
Is the sufficent enough for weight loss or is there anything else i need to be doing to mix it up? any advice appreciated.
Thanks
It mostly down to diet but that sounds like a rubbish workout routine, You have a back, chest and shoulders which need to be worked also.0 -

I agree with the high intensity intervals. Do them every other day and alternate them with days of strength training. Make sure you are really working hard. Investing in a HR monitor can help ensure you are working hard enough. Another suggestion would be to not use the weight machines. They only train one muscle at a time. The two main problems with this are that one, our bodies don't usually move one muscle at a time, it's not functional and two, it dramatically decreases your metabolic/caloric burn. Favour compound bodyweight (pull ups/rows) or bodyweight added (squats with dumbells or kettlebells) instead.0

Weight Loss: Running
Making my body look good: strength and ballet0 -
4 legs to the table:
quality nutrition
resistance training (full event, not isolation)
cardio (short intense bursts, not endurance)
rest
do all 4 or the weakest leg will hold you back.0 -
I find Basketball and Paintball the best for my weight loss.
Paintball has extra motivation behind it, move quick or get shot!0 -
Running was what worked for me.
Out of interest, how many miles did you run a week and what was your starting and finishing weight? Just interested to learn about people's experiences of steady state exercise.0 -
Even though I do quite a lot of running, and have done an awful lot of cycling in the past, the one form of exercise where I see sharper and more regular spikes in improvement, fitness and weight loss is circuit training, and maybe boxercise. This is my personal perspective of course. Even though running takes a lot of energy to perform, doing circuits you move through the whole range of heartrate zones and do work on lots of different muscle groups.0

u can also do Pilates 6x a week. 40-50 minutes of strength training followed by 5-15 minutes of HIIT. Add extra cardio 3x a week. 45 minutes doing intervals on the treadmill, or a 3-4 mile walk. Cut out white sugar and white flour. (keeping the changes from the other months).0 -

You could do longer, more sustained cardio? A good 40 mins of one thing, such as running! Running is great0
