Question by Paul: Is this an efficient fat loss program for cold climate?
It is cold out. Quite cold. I can’t operate outside with out my lungs bursting from the freezing temperature, thusly I have come up with this work out system to do everyday:
Jumping Jacks for 10 minutes straight
90 push ups
30 sits up
Jump Rope for 5 minutes
Will this be efficient for fat loss until it warms up?

It sounds like a very good exercise routine to me…. you can also get some DVDS that will get you up and moving. I like the 10 moment pilates remedies DVD and I like the outdated 80s aerobic DVDs
Add your individual remedy in the responses!
This might be ok but you can run outside in the cold weather just bundle up, I run 2.4 to 3 kilometers or more almost 3 times a week all season including winter!

To lose weight at any age, you need to be in healthy limits of caloric intake; vigorous and lengthy exercise at least 30 minutes a day (50% – 80% maximum heart rate) will help burn calories that you take in. The most important thing about exercising in cold weather is staying warm. A runner should consider consuming a diet which is approximately 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein and 30% fat. In addition to following this combination, the runner should also ensure the carbohydrates are coming primarily from whole grains, the proteins are consumed from lean protein sources and the fats include mostly unsaturated fats.
As far as the losing weight is concerned during the winter it is one of the toughest things to do because in a normal season it usually takes around 30 minutes of workout to warmup your body after which you tart burning fat but in winter the warm up exercise should be of around 50 minutes so that after which your fat starts burning and you can loose off some weight.

Exercise alone is never a good way to lose weight because it just doesn’t burn enough calories. And contrary to what exercise machines may tell you, you cannot get into a “fat burning state” after 20 minutes of exercise. What and how you eat is the key to getting into a fat burning state.
