So I’m getting to the point where as I keep looking for a good work out to lose belly fat, everything is CRAZY, and none of it makes sense and has no proven method behind it. More like these people just toss stuff together and think it looks good, so they post it up there. So I was wondering if anyone has any good work outs they do from home?
I would like to get into a gym, but that’s 100 bucks and month, and with moving out that’s $100 I can’t spend. I don’t own any cardio machines because those also very expensive.
I need something simple, I need to strengthen up my knees (I have a disorder which causes a lot of pain and fluid in the knees) so it needs to be something that I start out simple and build my way up to something more advanced.
Also, if anyone has any good, healthy recipes that I can use (for breakfast, lunch, snacks, or dinner) I would greatly appreciate them! (Also looking for low cost, if possible!)
you can do cardio. walk 3-5 miles a day,start off slow,you don’t wanna overwork your heart if you’re not used to doing intense cardio. when you get used to that,you can try jogging. and i would recommend Kashi Golean cereal. it has low calories and plenty of protein which makes you feel full for longer. where i buy mine,they are usually $3.28 per box. not too expensive,especially for the nutritional value,most sugary cereals will cost you about the same,and they are not worth it. and i know that you said going to the gym is not an option,but if you can find a way,do weight training. the more muscle you have,the more calories you burn
Look at Craigslist for workout equipment. I found my brand new treadmill for 60 dollars. I love it, and I have built up my running, have been losing weight, and its an easy and fun workout. Plus, I can do it any time I have time.

Gyms are nice, but you do not need to go to one to get healthy/fit/inshape/etc. Do not bother with half the stuff that gets posted in Y!A either, most of it is garbage (see Scooby’s "Wall of Shame"). Good old fashioned hard work is what gets you results. Here is a *free* website that has workout plans for someone at any stage. http://scoobysworkshop.com/homeWorkoutIntro.htm

talk to a doctor before starting anything. especially since you have knee problems, some of the workouts may need to be modified.

AEROBIC EXERCISE TIPS
1. Aerobic Exercise will get rid of fat located ANYWHERE on the body!
2. Burn calories by doing aerobic exercise at least 30 to 45 minutes per day, 4 or 5 days per week. Each person is different! You may need MORE or LESS exercise depending on your age, body weight, and calorie intake.
3. You must continue to SHOCK YOUR BODY to keep losing weight! If you do the SAME exercise routine for months, your body will get use to that routine and not work as hard to burn calories, therefore you will not see results!
4. Do a Warm Up and Stretches BEFORE exercising to prevent injury! Do a Cool Down and Stretches AFTER exercising to prevent body stiffness!

TONING EXERCISE TIPS
1. Toning Exercises or Weight/Resistance/Strength Training helps build lean muscle and strength, plus it increases your metabolism to burn more calories.
2. Don’t do toning exercises on consecutive days! Your muscles need 1 or 2 days of rest to repair themselves. Overworking your muscles can lead to injury and tears in the muscles that can take a long time to heal!
AB TONING EXERCISE TIPS
1. Do toning exercises that works all the ab muscles: Rectus Abdominis (six pack). Internal And External Oblique Muscles (love handles). Transversus Abdominus.
2. Using a Twist Board exercises your oblique muscles (love handles) and helps slim and tone your abs, hips, and thighs. It promotes core strength from the ab muscles as well as balance. Buy a twist board at Amazon website.
3. Google search Stomach Vacuum. The transversus abdominus is an important muscle to exercise but usually it is neglected in ab exercises. If you do alot of ab exercises but still have a gut, you are probably not exercising the transversus muscle. You can flatten your stomach QUICKER by doing the Stomach Vacuum!

EXERCISE MYTH:
"Spot Reduction" is a myth! You can not exercise a specific area on your body to lose weight in that area. The only way to get rid of fat located ANYWHERE on the body is by doing aerobic exercise. Also, muscle and fat are two different tissues that are separate from each other. Aerobic exercise gets rid of fat while toning exercises defines, tones, and strengthens your muscles. Example: When you hear people say "I can feel my abs burning" or "My abs hurt". You are exercising ab MUSCLES, not the fat surrounding your stomach.
EXERCISE MYTH:
Female weight training can make you look bulky and masculine is a myth! It is impossible for females to get bulky masculine looking muscles because women do not naturally produce as much testosterone as males do. Females will not get the six pack abs like men do, nor the bulky arms and legs. Female bodybuilders have to use steroids (synthetic testosterone) and other drugs to achieve their muscularity.
