When beginning a new exercise program, is it true that you may gain weight in muscle first, and then lose fat? I recently started my own exercise program. I spend about 5 days a week at the gym and usually exercise between 1 (a short workout) to 2 and a half hours. I usually run, bike, do the stairmaster, work with an exercise ball & medicine ball for tone, and lift weights. I gained about 3-4 pounds the past couples weeks---is this likely to be muscle? And will the fat I'm looking to lose start coming off soon after? As far as diet goes, all I've done is cut back on junk and try to keep all my portion sizes logical---but nothing too serious.

I tried out my ball yesterday and did ab crunches and I CAN ONLY DO 6 reps and they were painful! What is hurting IS my stomach though, I feel it in each crunch. Am I moving too fast? Should I keep doing 6 reps a day and add 2 more reps each week or something? Should I not even use the ball and start at regular (floor) crunches or something? I don't know if I'm hurting myself or helping myself. I have no knowledge in this. Give me advice and answers, please please. Also, it would be nice if anyone has a exercise routine they could recommend me doing by personal experience, from a website, or anywhere! Whatever helps/works.

How do I can I get hot abs FAST? I hoping to try to get AT THE LEAST a flatter stomach by January. Here's my stats: Age: 19 Sex: female Height: 5'6"-5'7" Weight:110-115 I have a little flab stomach going on and I can't seem to get rid of it (IT USED TO BE FLAT). I also have a exercise ball if you want to offer exercises on the ball but I always want workouts without the ball. Any successful-quick-result ab workouts, please? Thanks! PS. I feel my stomach-flab was gained from birth control's side effect of water/fluid retention. If that helps any at all, hehe.

Turbo Jam: Get on the Ball & Maximum Results? I used to hate exercising, but now that I've discovered Turbo Jam, I love to workout! I have the basic package and was wondering if anyone could offer some insight into which of the two workouts (Get on the Ball or Maximum Results) I should get. Or do you think I should get the Turbo Jam Live or possibly the Turbo Jam Deluxe package. I'd prefer the package that has the least amount of squats and lunges, as that's my least favourite part of Cardio Party 1. Also, I'm not really in shape, I can do both Cardio Party 1 and the 20 Minute Workout, but I had to slowly build up to it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Are core exercise good to lose weight?? i want to lose weight 20+ pounds this summer and i need some good exercises i have a core kit workout it came with a stability ball and a dvd will this plus a good diet help me lose weight

Has anyone tried the Elongated Verso Stability ball? I can't find a review for this ball. They say that this shape ball "limits side to side motion for a more stable workout." I've never used any type of ball and am a complete, non-exercising beginner. I happen to like the way it looks and thought it might be a good choice, but I don't want to defeat the purpose of working with a ball.

Lower ab workout on the stability ball ?? I lost the chart that came with my ball in our move. I can remember all the upper ab and oblique exercises but I'm blanking on the lower ab stuff. Anyone out there use a stability ball for ab work? This is one of the very few ways I can work my abs due to low back issues. Even some of the standing ab work doesn't work for me because I also have a problem with my right knee. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

HAMSTRING exercises? i don't have any workout machines, but i do have a exercise ball. what are some moves that work the hamstrings?

Which is better? The exercise bean or the exercise ball? Which gives you a better workout and pros and cons of each. Will I loose more with one or the other?

Good exercises? I need effective: a. Leg/Thigh workouts b. Ab workouts both should be easy and shouldn't require anything (ie. exercise ball or weights) ALSO: good splits exercises - I have done them in the past, and am very close, but need that extra boost. Ok folks, maybe I didn't make this clear - I AM NOT FAT. I don't need to slim down, although I appreciate the help. I want to tone my muscles. Not lose fat. I'm 5'7", 118 pounds. NOT FAT!

Best balance exercise equipment? I currently use a stability ball in my workouts, but would like to add some balance-specific elements, preferably something that could help with balance and stability in ice hockey. I'm currently considering a Bosu Ball, a Balance Disc, or a Balance board. Any thoughts?

any1 know of any good cardio exercises?? i have a treedmill since i have my son but i dont know of any good cardio workouts to get rid of the body fat in my stomach from my pregnancy.. and i have the exercise ball too, i do crunches on the ball but i want to learn more so does anyone know of any cardio or any ball exercises????

Exercise Help? So, I am about 5'7" and about 145 pounds (I know I am skinny). I am looking to develop a killer ab workout from my room. I do not have any stability balls or anything. Anyone know good exercises I can do from my room?

Anybody know a good website for doing exercises at home? I'm looking for toning exercises for abs, legs, arms etc. and maybe some for an exercise ball. I can't seem to find a good web site though. All I keep finding are ones with workout equipment, but all I have are 3lb hand weights, a tension band, and an exercise ball. Help!

At Home WORKOUT??? i need something that i can do indoors w/ nothing more than an exercise ball and weights (u don't have 2 use these in ur answer tho) and that gives you a pretty decent workout thanx sooo much!!!!

What types of exercises can be done with hand weights or a mat and an ab roller or the "ball" used for abs? i joined a small gym yesterday which is basically a "learn for yourself" place. It has good equipment and is a very small place however I dont know anything about hand weights or the ab exercises. There are no trainers there. I did see mats, hand weights (all sizes), one ab roller thingy, and the "round balls" used for abdomens but i'm not sure how to use them in the proper way or what exercises can be done using those things. Can somebody help and tell me how to start up a good average workout routine?

Looking for a better ab workout for better definition and strength? right now my abs are fine, almost got an 8 pack but they jus dont pop out the way I want them to. My workout is: (on the floor) straight leg raises- 3*12/ with increasing weight up to 20lbs, Crunch 3*12/w increasing weight up to 30lbs, regular leg raises 3*15, swiss ball crunches 3*15/w increasing weight to 20lbs and the ball exercise, forget what its called, I put my feet on the ball and go into pushup stance and hold 3*1:30 minutes each set,all 4 days a week, am I doing to much so im going backwards or what, kinda ticks me off, so if youve got any workouts that are harder than that, that youd recommend, please reply, and i jus dont know if Im doin to much

Toning up? I need help!? On average how long does it take for results to show when toning up? I think I bought every workout tape available at Walmart, LOL. Is it best to work out 3 times a week doing about six 30 minute tapes? Also, i'm like...4'11''-5'0" and about 120lbs but my stomache and arms are flabby and I notice a small amount of cellulite on my thighs. And my friends say I have 'back fat' LOL how or rather, what exercises are there for removing that?? Which exercises work best? Taebo or the workout ball thingy? I also have dance workout tapes too. Would it be better if I workout at least 30 minutes to an hour every day for two months? (I hear that's how long it takes for results to show)

Started a new diet / exercise program. Was hoping for opinions/suggestions.? I'm 5'6 and about 150 llbs. Although I dream of having a flat tummy, I do want to be healthy, too. My friend and I made up the rules together, and I wanted to see what you all thought.  Gym everyday 1 hour at least 30 min cardio workout remaining time: sit ups on ball, lunges with dumbells, weights.  No dessert; Ever.  ONE plate of food at mealtimes  Water, milk and tea ONLY! (no juice/soda)  NO drinking (alcohol).  If one person breaks rule, both suffer: meaning: both run 3-mile course  Snacking: Fruits/Veggies and Luna Bars only.  NO meals after 8:30  Drinking water whenever is encouraged

Basketball training? I intend on working out this summer to better my basketball skills, and my body as well. I'm 10 cm away from 6 ft, and a speedy ballhandler. Problem is, my legs are fat (compared to the soccer players in my school). What exercises should I do that could reduce the fat in my legs/thighs? Also, are there any exercises/workouts that could improve my vertical jumps? I heard that you can dunk the ball even under 6 ft if you put lots of effort into it. I hear jump roping, and having low weight improves your jump...? Also what exercises should I do to increase my quickness/speed? Excuse the amount of questions :P

Best ab and leg routines for quick results? I am going on vacation during the first week in August. Without having to pay for a gym membership, I want try to have great looking abs and legs in time for that vacation. Does anyone have a suggestion for a routine that would help? I do have some free weights (6 lbs) and an exercise ball. I have read other answers to similar questions, but no one has mentioned the specifics of their workout (i.e. how many minutes, how many reps, how to do the exercise). Also, how much water do you have to drink each day to help tone your body? Do you have to drink it all in one sitting? Can you drink one bottle at a time in one sitting or does it have to be spread out (like 1 bottle an hour)? Thanks for all of your help!

Working Out (Dumbbell Question)? I am a pretty fit guy, but definitely not muscular. I am on a mission to get ripped, but I need the proper tools. I don't have much money and I don't want to go to the gym, so I am going to need something cheap that I can use at home. As far as I'm aware, I can pretty much get a full body workout with just dumbbells and a bench (does the bench need to be adjustable?) So, what I need are dumbbells in the range of about 3-20 pounds or so. I am considering purchasing this: http://www.amazon.com/Bowflex-SelecTech-220-SelectTech-Dumbbells/dp/B000E199SY/ref=pd_ts_sg_14/102-7228140-5312935?ie=UTF8&s=sporting-goods However, I was wondering if there is a better/cheaper solution. If so, can you please tell me where and what I need to get. Also, if you have any cheap bench recommendations that would be awsome. Thank you so much! *by the way I already have an exercise bike and exercise ball

I'm needing advice on a workout that i can do at home with a treadmill and stability ball? I am overweight and out of shape, and am trying to get into the routine of exercising, but all those videos and stuff are just too hard. I have a hard time doing alot of the moves, and keeping up is next to impossible. I know one day, i will be able to do them, but i am just starting, and doing those are hurting my esteem more than helping. I have a treadmill and a stability ball, but find myself losing intrest after a few days. Any suggestions?

What is the best way to tone the belly? I already go the gym and do cardio and some weight training about 3 to 4 times a week..also do the exercise ball but I'm not getting the results I want yet. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Any info would be great from you workout kings and queens!!!

new training? I have to decided to add weights into my workout routine, but I want to try something that I have seen other people at my gym doing. You use free weights in a variety of different ways on an inflatable exercise ball, but I have no idea where to start! Does anyone know a web site that can help me start out? (Maybe with Pictures??) Thanks!
