Welcome – Mayor’s Fitness Council

My body is fairly well toned; I play sports and run often, but I would still like to lose weight from my thighs. Any suggestions?

You can’t spot reduce, or lose weight from only one area from your body. To lose weight, you need to up your cardio intake (running, swimming, etc) and down your calorie intake. But never ever go below 1200 calories a day!

If you’re toned and you DO cardio and your thighs are still "bigger", you’re probably stuck with them. I know exactly how you feel. We just have to embrace our legs and be proud of them! Chicken legs aren’t desirable either.

i want to play rugby league this season, im fairly fit but i’d like to get alot fitter before i sign up. any ideas much appreciated (=

To play Rugby League it’s recommended you get a lobotomy or some other kind of brain damage.

I have New Attitude and Body Confidence on VHS but my video recorder is bust and I have a DVD player now.
I have looked on Amazon but haven’t found anything.
Does anyone out there know?
placebo…. because I have it already, i have had it for six years. It works for me. and you really should read up on Chers fitness history before you make bold statements like that.

It is available on ebay on DVD. http://dvd-video.search.ebay.co.uk/Cher-Fitness_DVDs_W0QQcatrefZC11QQfromZR8QQsacatZ2288 or you might try a comparison engine like www.kelkoo.co.uk

I’d like to know some stretches/exercises that I can do at home to stay fit for horseback riding. I’ve googled equestrian stretches and such words but it all comes up with books to buy. I haven’t had a chance to buy any books. Also, would you recommend buying the book "The Rider’s Fitness Guide to a Better Seat"? If not, is there another book that might help me?

Just do yoga.

I’ve just finished playing Wii Sports, and I’m sweating and breathing hard after 20 minutes of swinging my right arm. I also moved my body from side-to-side to avoid getting hit in the boxing game. Do you think I could use Wii Sports as an exercise program?

If it gets you moving, it helps. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s something you can use alone, at least Wii Sports. It might get you a little sweaty, but it’s not something that gives you a full workout.

How long should I swim for, per day, to lose weight? Also, how long will it take before I start to see the results of doing so?

I am taking a very effective water aerobics class once a week. The other time I use the bike or treadmill. It is effective because u are exercising and toning muscles u never knew u had. Try and use the treadmill for at least 45 mins before swimming, this way when u jump in the pool it will seem as if it was a reward for getting to ur 45 mins. Also in the pool u can do all ur stretching and it doesn’t feel like u are, It is very relaxing too.

Try it 3-5 times a week and don’t just weigh urself, take measurements too. Some weeks u will lose inches too. Keep all of it in a journal and only weigh and measure once a week. U will be surprised at the results u get. It may work for u. that is what i do and so far so good. I have lost 13 lbs and 4 inches of my waist in just 3 weeks. Also eating right and trying to go to the gym everyday if only to get in the pool and do a couple laps…

Good luck to you. I know you’ll succeed if u want it bad enough…♥

I got mine pierced yesterday, and they said I had to have a slightly bigger bar to start with, but they never actually said when I could get a smaller, fitted one.

you get a smaller one when its healed about 4 months if your a good healer. wait until the piercing is fully healed till you change it or it will fuck up. they give u a bigger bar so the ear can swell changing it to soon will mess it up.

okay so i am 13 years old, and i want to start a fitness routine in the morning before school. i want it to last about 15-20 minutes, because i have little time in the morning. i am very thin, but also very unfit, and i am a complete beginner. i just want stuff like push-ups and sit-ups or jogging or something like that. thank you xx

The person receiving the gift is female. She is a youthful 50 years of age.

Speaking as the husband of a woman matching that description I would say a day at a spa. She already has to focus on a chronic illness a gift would be something that takes away the stress. if money isn’t the object give her the spa day in Palm springs or if you got bank round trip and hotel St. Kitts. Now that’s a spa day!

I am curvy and like it but also want to be fit. I know of many exercise programs but it seems like the goal of these programs is for you to be toned and ripped. I still want to be soft but healthier. Links, articles, recommendations anything is helpful but keep it positive. Thank you.

Windsor palates. It doesn’t make you ripped. And it wont make you toned if you do it twice a week.

Be proud of those curves
