Suggest good beginner weight loss workout (no cardio)?!

First, what you want is not easy, fun, or quick. It will suck some days and you will hate it.

Start slow with body weight workouts. Go do squats, sit ups, planks, push ups, and then gradually work in lifting to cover multiple muscle groups at one time.

80-90% of this is food. Burn more than you eat. Simple enough.

well give up now.

since you already admit you don't want to do anything "to" hard.

... because guess what'- it's hard. There will be more days than not that it's easier to NOT do the thing. If it was easy- we would all look like the fitness models off the Shape and Men's Health Magazines- but that's just no the way it works.

Successful people are the ones who are not motivated by emotions but the ones that keep doing it day in and day out despite the fact they are no longer having fun. I'ts not about "FUN" i'ts about doing the task- the end goal is more important than doing the more "FUN" thing right here right now.

So either decide you are going to have to be uncomfortable- and be okay with it... or just don't bother since you aren't committed enough to be uncomfortable to change.

I agree...if you want to make significant changes then you need to step outside you're comfort zone.

Was not looking for "well then give up now answers" and other negative feedback.

Was hoping for an example workout that I could follow tonight!

No time to take it slow.

you've been a member since 2011... you've had time to do it right since then. Why try to rush it now?

Basically you don't want to 'work'. Fair enough least your honest with yourself.

Just change what you perceive as work. You wont mind doing cardio if your not realising your doing it.

Get into a fun sport, maybe tennis with some friends, perhaps go for a walk with your family.

Also change your lifestyle, take the stairs instead of escalator, get off a stop early on the bus etc.

Not gonna turn you into a lean mean fighting machine but the more exercise your doing the better.

The exercise your doing without realising throughout the day is equally (arguable more) important to that of planned exercise times (the one your trying to avoid).

This ^^

Just move more. Find the least objectionable type of movement and do it often. Once your fitness level improves, you will likely find more options that you find tolerable. Just take that first step (or jump, or lift, or squat or ...).

Needs to be something that I will want to keep doing - I get un-motivated quickly if things are too difficult.

^^Lol! Yes, it's harsh, but it's true.

but then you reply with...

No time to take it slow but you don't want anything too hard? I'm confused.

Google 'bodyweight exercises' you'll get a boatload of websites with training plans/exercises that you can do anywhere at anytime with no extra equipment. And check out a bunch of them so you're not doing the same thing every day, give yourself a good variety and think about what kind of cardio you might be able to mix into them to up the ante but you're not stuck doing the same thing for too long.

You don't like to walk? Ok, so walk just once a week, knowing you'll do something else tomorrow. Or park in the farthest parking space from the store or office and make the walk to the door. Make it more interesting than just the same walk around the neighborhood or park.

I hear ya, I feel ya, I sympathize, and would have summarized my position at the start of this. But, I'm also going to the gym 5 to 6 days a week now and yes, it's cardio.

A few thoughts for you. I started out in September and to date I'm 74 lbs. down.

You don't need to exercise to lose weight, as others have said fewer calories in than are being burned is what will lose the weight.

Exercise will of course increase the calories burned, increasing the amount lost or increasing the amount you can eat and still lose, or a combination of the two.

Eat only healthy, fresh ingredients, whole grains, limit red meat, weigh and measure everything you eat.

Avoid refined food, processed food.

Read labels, know how much fat, the types, how many carbs, how much fibre you're consuming.

Log every thing you eat and drink into here. You can keep it private, but be honest. There will be good days and bad days.

Use the tools of MFP to tell you how many calories you can consume in a day. It's not perfect, but in can be mostly accurate over the long run.

Consider getting an activity monitor like a Fitbit. It's what got me starting to look at increasing my activity. Saw how a few steps more made a difference, then increased that. Eventually it led me into the gym.

Cardio + Music makes it tolerable for me. Treated myself to a nice pair of headphones after going for a month.

Start slow, a five minute walk. A little bit of work out in the gym. Make yourself go twice a week, do a half hour upper body and a half hour lower body.

Edited to add: As mentioned, talk to a trainer at the gym, they can give you some quick pointers to start. Even better, hire them for one, two or three sessions to get you started, it will be an investment that will pay off in the end.

Remember the mantra, at least doing something is better than doing nothing.

Challenge yourself each week to do something more, something faster, something further, something harder than you did the week before.

Accept the fact it will take time.

Good luck!

perhaps a beginning strength training program such as 5x5 stronglifts? it's a 3 day a week weightlifting program where you only work out 3 days a week, so 5 sets of 5 reps on 3 exercises each session

I found it motivating because you're seeing beginners gains and setting new personal records virtually every workout, to a point. there's also something very primal and satisfying about lifting heavy weights that you never imagined you could lift.

Go get yourself the shake weight......

Here's a workout:

As to whether or not you'll keep doing it, that's up to you.
