im very new to excercises & went through this forum & didnt understand a word regarding the excercises.

i do a lot of jogging & want to reduce the fat on my upper body which i believe is my tummy, chest, hip & back.

please can someone advice me on a routine i can follow so as to get good results in a month & also tell me what these splits & certain excersing terms are if possible with a picture representation.

cheers

how much do you want to weight do you want to lose, whats your diet like at the moment? and is getting slimmer your only goal?? one month is pretty short time to see any dramatic improvement but i guess it will get you started There are hundreds of posts all over this place that would probably help you out. But to help you alittle reps are the amount of movements and sets are the number of movements you do in one go....eg. 3 sets of 7 reps and so on.......as far as i know you really want to concentrate on cardiovascular exercises stuff that burns calories basically exercises that burn calories. From there it all gets a bit wacky. Hope this has helped but honestly you should try having a long and short term goal.........getting slimmer in a month is great dont get me wrong and ya got the motivation so ya half way there, but you need to say right by end of this year i want to weigh "x" and be able to press "x" ya know. Anyway hope i have helped. giv'us a yell if ya need anything

i wanna loose mainly 10-15 kgs.........im on low fat diet..........mainly into veg..................please advice me on the best excercises to tone my tummy, hip, chest & upper back mainly the portion below the arm-pit.

also can i get a graphical view of the excecises, just bikoz i dont know many of the terms.

erm......geez about the pictures i am sure you can work them out. Theres nothing that cant be described. Although that being said i am sure if you go to google images and type in the name of the exersize you will probably get some examples.

Basically you want to be doing the same as the rest of us for your tummy....no miracle exersize there. sit ups and crunches. i would suggust going to failure. (this basically means going till you cant do anymore literally) and see where you limits lie. Then set your self a reachable goal.........say your failure is 30 try and do 20 regulaly and when that gets confortable increase the amount. I STRONGLY SUGGUST you DO NOT set unrealistic goals otherwise you'll end up beating yourself up for not working hard enough, remember your training your body to do something new, and like learning to read write or anything else that doesnt come naturally its gonna take time. Crunches and leg raises also (self explainitory in description) Lay on your back flat on the floor and slowly raise your legs to a 90' angle or as much as you feel confident with. again go to failure and set a realistic goal after that.

Jogging as well (cardio exersize) is good as it increase your areobic respiration and burns calories. Core (middle of your body) exercises gereally do the areas around hips and tummy and I would imaguine leg raises would help with this. What kinda of weights do you have or access to a gym??

And just so you know I have posted some names that you might come across to help you browsing the forum.

Reps- amount of movements
Sets-group of movements
Failure- Going till ya cant go anymore literally
Cardio-Using areobic respiration to burn calories
Push and pull- literally although they seem simlar they often do different thing (working different muscle groups)
