My daughter just turned 1 and I am still very much carrying baby weight. I tried the whole counting calories and watching what I eat but that didnt seem to do anything. I need to know an exercise I can do to help me lose this weight.

SWIMMING.

    I read that when you run on the treadmill, having more incline is better than more speed. So maybe speed and incline would be great for you!

    Running and jogging can be hard on the joints. Try just a brisk walk.

    Considering, you been out of the excersise field for a while, walking is a good method to start, After that, you should try jogging and running when you build your endurance.

    Here do this and you hardly have to exercise

    you can lose at least 18 pounds in 4 days!! just be committed

    but if you are REALLY up to exercising, then swim and bike.
    Whenever you swim, you can really feel the burn unless its intense but the water cools you off. and biking is very good for your legs but when you lose weight, your whole body does. plus when you bike, you just sit down, NOW THATS MY KIND OF EXERCISE!! lol

    swimming or any thing that uses both your legs and arms and perhaps also your abdomen
    note that swimming is tiring, start slow at first

    running/jogging can help you loose weight quickly, but if you want to keep it off you'll want to tone up your muscles as well. the more muscle you have the faster your metabolism.

    Variety! All of the above! Aerobics is also great. That's what I do. There are lots of tapes or dvd's to chose from.

    Running definately burns the most calories, but you cannot do it very long. And walking doesn't burn many calories, but you can do it forever. Jogging burns a moderate amount of calories, and you can do it for a moderate amount of time. I would start off by walking, just because you don't want to force your way into something… that's how injury occurs. Start walking for the first week, and by the second week, jog the first half of the distance and walk the rest of the way back. The third week jog there and back. Keep going faster every time, OR go further every time, and you will be back in shape in no time!

    To burn fat you need to keep your heart rate low. You need to be walking or doing toning. Fat burning in aerobic, the more oxygen you take in the more fat you will burn. When you do physically exerting exercises, such as running, you do not take in as much oxygen as normal. Your body then does not have sufficient amount of oxygen to burn fat and you will start burning carbohydrates and proteins (the stuff that build your muscles). You will see the scale go down, but not a decrease in fat, just decrease in lean muscle. Try keeping your heart rate below 120 and power walking.

    There is no "best exercise", it's different for everyone… and if you do the same exercise for more than about 3 weeks, your body will adapt to it, and it will lose it's effectiveness. You should do a variety of different things to keep plateaus and boredom at bay.

    I would stick to anything that you enjoy, that gets your heart rate up, and that is low impact. High impact exercises will increase your rate of injury, which will sideline you such that you aren't exercising at all.

    I really LOVE spinning class… I burn more calories in those classes than anything else.

    You should also incorporate weights and resistance… more muscle will burn fat faster and more efficiently. Just do high reps, low weight.

    The only exercise I do is : doing all the work with my hubby in bed.
    It’s the same as playing tennis for 1 hour.
    And I enjoy working out, and my hubby keeps encouraging me

    All of them would work, but the different intensities will mean that the amount of calories you are burning will vary. Also, the intensity on your body will vary. Running is more "high impact" on your knees and walking is way more "low-impact", but running will burn calories faster and walking will allow you to lose weight at a slower easier pace. It's going to depend on how you are going to go at it. Just balance watching what you eat and starting an exercise regimen. Biking is also great and is really basically like a no-impact workout!

    Swimming is a best exercise. If you cannot do this so, you can do jogging.

    running burns the most calories of anything, but to lose the extra baby weight you should concentrate on –ANY– exercise that you can do for an hour-to an hour and a half (tops) a day-5 days a week. i would suggest an eliptical or walking/jogging. it should be an EASY EASY workout. one trick to make sure your heart rate is where it should be is to make sure you can say the Pledge of Allegience all in one breath while you are exercising. this may seem too slow of a pace but it is where you burn the most calories because you are going for a longer time and not intense so that you can do it most days a week without overtraing. its SOO important that you dont overtrain because you wont get any results–your body will go into shock mode. good luck girl, let me know if you have any more questions id love to help you out! :)

    Running is the best for cardio, there is nothing that can really compare, second best is swimming.

    Talk to a nutritionist, counting calories isn't alwasy the best way because sometimes you have to change your foods. Like eat only whole grain, no white bread. Start reading labels, do not buy anything with sugar, hydrogenated, enriched or corn syrup in the first four ingredients.

    Increase water, no soda or tea.

    Good luck!!

    Counting Calories and watching what you eat is good. Keep it up. You can run (none stop for 15mines) or jump rop (none stop for 10 mines) per day for 1st week then move up to 20 mines for running or 15 mines for jump rop per day.
    You will see the result in ONLY 3 weeks.

    Do not over doing it. Walking will not help unless you walk more than 5 miles per day.

    The best way to lose weight is doing exercise.

    The best type of exercise for weight loss is something you ENJOY DOING and are likely to continue doing - not just while losing weight but also as you maintain weight in the long term.

    Your initial fitness goal should be to do 30 minutes of exercise each day. Thereafter, gradually increase this (ideally) to about 60 minutes of exercise per day.

    The best combination of exercise is a mixture of aerobic and weight/strength training (and stretching). Aerobic and weight/strength training exercises both assist weight loss but in different ways.

    Check out http://fitness-secret.info , there are some great exercise for weight loss you can choose.
