Gym Question

How long from when you first start your workout routine do you usually start seeing results? I'm looking to tone and maybe loose around 5-8 pounds.

Honestly, when I started running I noticed results so quickly, mostly toning in my arms, but whole body in general

I noticed results very quickly also, but I also plateaued (sp?) very quickly.

Yes, I have to agree with Jenna...running helps me see results very quickly and diet too. If I limit my carb intake for a week, and run a couple of times a week, its a noticable difference.

In terms of weight loss, as long as you are expending more than you are taking in, you'll start losing. It's 3500 calories for each pound, so if you burn 500 calories and eat 500 calories less a day for 7 days, you can lose 2 pounds in a week.

In terms of toning, I am working on that and I feel like it depends on what you are doing at the gym. Running is great from what I hear but I get really bored from running. I take Zumba, kickboxing, belly dancing and I feel like that tones you.
