Lose Weight Without Going To The Gym
I am almost 21 years old and a college student. I can’t afford going to the gym. I can’t jog in my neighborhood because it’s too dangerous. What do you think I should do to try to lose weight?

Proper nutrition is a huge factor.
Since you’re a student, can I assume you don’t have a lot of extra time? You can workout at home or in your dorm with Bodylastics resistance bands and these free workouts.
Burn more calories than you eat.
Cut your fat intake.
Eat three cups of fat free low cal yogurt a day (make sure it has live cultures in it) and pineapples. This helps you break down your food and promotes weight loss..
Do 40 min. of aerobic exercise a day (preferably before you eat in the morning). This will attack the fat. Try to supplement your training with some running, running stairs or hills, and cycling. Mix it up, it will keep your body guessing. You could run in place or get a jump rope.
Do 30 min of weight training three times a week. This will build lean muscle which will in turn burn fat. You can use hand held weights in your home.
Keep moving all the time. Tap you feet while at the computer, tap you hands on your legs while walking. Keep moving and keep burning calories.
I lost 40 lbs in two months and have kept it off for 18 more months doing this. I did not lose any strength and gained more energy. I also took my body fat % from 30% to 10% and my waist from 36 inches to 31 inches.
