I need workouts that will make me lose weight!

How many days a week should I work out?

Which exercises should I do.

 

I dont belong to a gym.

I live on the 3rd floor probably could get away with calisthenics and weights.

I live near a park.

I have a 40 set weight set.

I need a workout routine basically heelp please.

The workout you should do is one that YOU like.  Use the excercise tool and find my strength ideas if you want.  No one can tell you what to do.  Running is great for losing weight b/c it burns lots of calories, but I could never run everyday as I think it is awful and boring.  Find something you can stick with and do it.

Biking burns crazy calories, too.....if you can get your hands on a bike and find a good route.

I am no expert. I did hear a former Mr. America speak about losing weight. He said that working on your thighs (toning and strengthening) is the best bodybuilding way to kick start your metabolism and lose weight. The rest of your body responds to exercise mush better too when the thighs hold good muscle. He also suggested not working any muscle area more than 2-3 times a week because the time off actually heals that specific area and helps to strengthen it. Of course, this does not include cardio which you could do every day if you want to keep your heart and circulation healthy and burn daily calories.

I worked out for a year and lost two sizes - but no weight. Now I am exercising and counting calories (2 weeks now) and have lost about 8 pounds. My thighs look really good too! Plus I enjoy how I feel.

I've been working out with the Biggest Loser DVDs for almost a month now and I haven't gotten tired of it yet! Some days I want to give my body a rest (these DVDs will absolutely kick your butt!! I've been doing them for a while but I am still drenched in sweat by the time it's over)...I just go for a walk for about an hour. But the workouts are fun, motivating, simple yet HARD, and are totally customizable. I highly recommend it!!

Well, it's all in the diet really - your results are 70% diet, 30% exercise. Since you're already here and counting calories you've got the diet part sussed, so let's take a look at your exercise options, shall we?

 Keep in mind that workout results are all in the consistency, just like diet, and the major thing about following a plan is that it makes you be consistent about your workouts. The details of what you do is somewhat secondary to the consistency you do them with - it helps to be consistent about something effective rather than the Pink Dumbbell stuff. Also, your body responds best to change in the exercise stimuli you apply to it, so don't get stuck on one particular program, they all stop working (as good) after a while.

 You could try some of the workouts from Paige Waehner right in the "exercise" tab, there's quite a few options that don't require anything in particular in the way of equipment. Or you could use this home workout - just ignore the advertising. The calisthenics/bodyweight program outlined in that file is pretty good, and you can use that as basis to make your own workout once you've been through it.

(Calisthenics exercises are a good supplement to resistance training and helps with athletic conditioning, but can't hold a candle to resistance training results over the long term, although they're a useful starting point when you're easing into the habit of exercise.)

 You'd probably want more than 40lbs eventually, but it'll take you pretty far when starting out; and read No weights? No problem! from Krista for some more ideas about how to make your own workout gear ;)

 You'd also want the List of weight training programs from the FAQ to see if you find something in there that strikes your fancy and suits your goals.

 A doorway chinup bar is also an essential piece of equipment, especially if you're looking to build upper body strength - in fact, it was the only piece if equipment I bought when starting my own exercise program. A basic one will set you back maybe $5 in the dollar shop, and will give you the basis for a whole lot of exercises that you'd really want to do.
