Hi Seannew, to build stamina and muscle you need to do a combination of cardio exercise (running, cycling, swimming etc.) and weight training. Bodyweight circuit training provides a good all round workout too.

Im trying to lose stomach fat and gain muscle, my BMI is 20 so im still in the proper range, but i have a really low stamina and almost no muscles. Which exercises would you recommend for starting out? Thanks in advance.

Hi Tanae, possible options include using a cross trainer, swimming and weight training (but not doing heavy squats or lunges). At home you can focus on all the bodyweight exercises that do not involve using the legs too much.

I bought the diet solution that contained what to eat and how to work out on each day (didn’t even finish the 1st course yet), but looks promising, im already seeing some change :)

Yes Kathy, yoga can work. Like any exercise you have to push yourself hard ad also combine it with healthy eating. Once you have done 10 sun salutations you will soon realise that yoga is now all about meditating on soft cushions.

How many minutes a day are you exercising to the point that you are sweating and out of breath?

Hi Rohanna, just keep working on it. Focus on your fitness. Are you fitter and stronger? If yes, you are making progress and will be in a better position to lose weight. If not, you need to start increasing your workouts.

Hi Rohanna, how long have you been doing this? 60 minutes exercise a day is good. However, you do not mention your diet – are you eating less but healthier food? Fitness takes time, it is the best way to get in shape, but you have to be prepared to work hard every day.

Hi Eve, firstly, tell us more about the calorie counting – if nothing happened then you must have been doing something wrong. Even if you were only eating 500 Calories a day less than you need you should have lost 3 pounds in 3 weeks. You need to get into the habit of exercising at home. Bodyweight workouts, circuit training, kettlebells, walking – they are all effective forms of exercise which you can do with children in the house, especially after children have gone to bed.

Hi Joe, you need to get active and ensure your diet is healthy. Breastfeeding is a good reason to eat a healthy diet and it is not a reason to avoid exercise.
