Many people think dieting and starving yourself is the best way to lose weight. However, not eating can slow your metabolism and the best way to lose weight is, believe it or not, to keep eating, but eating right! Also, steady exercise with cardio and resistance training will tone your body and keep you looking attractive...the reason why you're REALLY working out.
The best exercise to do if you want BOTH cardio and resistance training is the rowing machine. Now, many people are intimidated by this machine but really they don't need to be because with it you have the ability to burn up to 1,500 calories and hour! That's more than any other machine is capable of doing (at an average pace). Burning this many calories in an hour permits you to actually eat and not starve yourself, which is EXTREMELY unhealthy. But make sure you're eating right! I don't have to tell you what's healthy and what's not most people can figure that out on their own. =p.
The rowing machine (ergometer) strengthens your quads, abs, upper and lower back, triceps and biceps all in one motion, making it extremely effective. Make sure you're using the proper technique, sitting up straight and making sure not to lean back too far at the finish so as not to strain your lower back.
Below is the recommended workout. Don't forget to eat right!
Workout: 30 mins rowing machine (ergometer)/day 10 mins (or 200) puchups/day 20 mins stretching after workout
