My friend complains that she is fat and out of shape?

Chriztina :

I’ve recently adapted a healthier lifestyle and I’m still not perfect and still have my weak moment but I’ve started to become more active. I will call her to ask her if she wants to go to the gym, go for a walk outside, come over to my place to follow a yoga video and her response is always the same, “No.” I’m getting sick and tired of her complaining about being fat yet she does nothing about it. I’ve tried to suggest things for different comfort levels but she still says, “I’ve just rented a movie and I want to watch it.” Yeah because 40 min not on the couch is going to kill you. Like I said, I’m still getting the hang of this healthy lifestyle thing and I thought it would be nice for us to work out together because she complains all the time. Is there anything I can say to her? Even though I say she complains a lot, I still love her and want what’s best for her. I’m just getting sick of her complaining that she’s fat and not doing anything about it.

Want to lose weight? is this good start up plan? (Best answer 10 points!)?

treehuggerbby :

ok i really want to lostrart losing weight for a alot reasons
Not just becuase i want to fit into a size 3 or anything but so i can live longer and have a healthy active life
So i researched last night and kind of made up a start of exercise and start up healthy diet plan

Exercise:
10 minutes of jumping rope before i got to school
Then a walk before the morning bell rings (can be anywhere from 10-50 minutes) my school has alot of hills and stairs so a moderate paced walk through hills and stairs
Then i get home around 7:00 pm
and i need to STUDY ALOT
so maybe a 20 minute workout video
amd then during my studying ill had small times for jumping rope or jumping jacks (Ex. 20 minutes of studying 5 minutes of jumping rope or jumping jacks)
Then Monday,Wednesday,Friday ill do strength moves….i have a resistance band, and a few dumbells, and my own body weight :)

Is YOGA a good thing to do? would i count it as cardio or strength?

Healthy diet plan:
Example of one day

Breakfast: 1 1/2 eggs (93 cals)
1 peice of whole grain toast (80 cals)
1 bowl of special K cereal (160 cals)
and a banana (60 cals)
