What is the easiest workout routine for Weight Loss and Muscle Toning?

One answer, one place, one way: CURVES! Does the job every time.

Basically it's going to come down to diet and resistance training. I would say a full body workout (weight workout) 3 days a week, 1-2 days of cardio training and then a diet where you monitor your calorie intake so it's around 12 times your body weight in pounds.

I think the most fun workout you could ever do is jazzercise. Go to www.jazzercise.com to see if there is a class in your area. It's such a fun "dance class" that it is easy to stick with and believe me, you will see results!

Toning is a myth, and easy is a relative and somewhat vague term.

"Jazzerstep" or the like is easy, but it won't do anything for you by itself, and it wont do anything quickly either. I hope you find the answer you are looking for.

the easiest workout routine for weight lost and mucle toning is to use light weight with high repetitions.

Play soccer! It's fun, and it uses every (or almost every) muscle in your body, and because it has more to do with quick changes of direction and sprints than full out running, you won't have buging muscles. You'll actually trim down as your muscles become longer, more flexible and durable! The greatest thing though is that there's less need to watch your calorie intake if you play regularly, because actually playing intensly for 1-2 hours burns so many calories. Just eat healthily and don't over do it on the carbonated drinks, they'll slow you down and cramp you up.

Focus on larger muscle exercises such as squats, deadlifts, rows, and presses rather than wasting time on exercises that only benefit one smaller muscle (ex. dumbbell curl, tricep extension). By sticking with the larger muscle groups, the smaller ones still get worked, but more importantly you will burn fat faster without losing muscle weight.

Truly, no program will be easy, but the best program for long term results and efficiency is one that is comprehensive. It should include daily activities like food logging, calorie management, resistance training, cardio training, reasonable expectations and visualization.

I don't think there is any "easy" and "fast" way to go about it, but there are some ways that are more fun.

I don't recommend crash or fad diets, rather I do recommend any diet that encourages moderation of all things. Weight Watchers has a really good program, and you can and will lose weight by just following their program without exercise. However, if you want to tone and retrain you body to be more fit, exercise is very important.

Personally, I've been doing workout videos and walking more. You should check out the article I just wrote about Flirty Girl Fitness videos. http://hubpages.com/hub/Dance-Aaway-Inches-with-Fl

Sample bodybuilding workout:

Cycle 2: Chest, Triceps, Shoulders, Cardio, Back, Biceps, Calves, Cardio, Hams, Glutes, Abs, Cardio, Rest

Cycle 3: Chest, Triceps, Back, Biceps, Cardio, Legs, Abs, Shoulders, Traps, Cardio, Rest

Do these cycles for 4-6 weeks or until you see results.

Cool down. The 10-15 minutes cool down can be a jogging or a walking to slowly bring your body temperature at the normal level.

Post-stretching exercise for about 5-10mins.

The four most effective bodybuilding workouts that should be included in the routine are bench press, squats, military press, and dead lifts.

My answer is walking, portion control, good nutritional choices, 5 fruits and vegetables a day, tracking your progress, food and activity. Be active at least 5 days a week for at least 30-40 minutes a day

There is no easy workout or routine. Its hard work!! It’s tough!! That’s why so many Americans are not healthy. Our society revolves around instant gratification. We want things to happen NOW! If our computers take more than 1 min to load a page, we get mad, and frustrated.

That’s the same way we look at loosing weight. All those diet companies have figured this out, that’s why they advertise the way they do.

Eat right, weight train, and do cardio.The most important thing is to be patient,dedicated and change your life-style. Most people know what they need to do, but it’s easier said than done .

I would start by walking more and driving less. Avoiding fast food, sodas, and eat more vegetables, fruits and grains.

Walking is not hard, however, it will take time to get to jogging and finally running.

Swimming is another excellent sport that works wonders for our body.

Weight training will tone your muscles, but again, it will not happen overnight. I suggest you start with your own body weight and gradually add weights as you progress. It is not difficult to strain a muscle without the proper form when we just start lifting weights. I learned this the hard way.

It does take time, but don't give up. Once the results show up you will be glad.

Is this a trick question along the lines of "who are the shortest known giants?" or "how much dirt is in a hole 8' X 8'?" If you want weight loss and muscle toning you don't want easy. It is from looking for "easy" that one puts oneself in a position where they must lose weight and tone muscle (unless the person has been confined to a hospital bed and force-fed an excess of calories). Unless you wish not to achieve your goal, forget the "easy" part and start by a. lowering your caloric intake by 500 calories per day for 1 week or however long it takes to feel comfortable, not sluggish, and, b. including 15 minutes of any exercise causing your heartrate to elevate (tho not to the point to where you feel dizzy or nauseous) and gradually add to both these numbers as frequently as possible w/o feeling a sense of "burn-out" (i.e., feeling so tired that you begin making excuses not to do it anymore). That's it in a nutshell. And please--forget "easy."
