Tips and advice on my question please?

I would like to lose 20 pounds in 5 months (or less). My trouble areas are my love handles, stomach and arms. I cannot run or jog though due to bad knees so please don鈥檛 include that. And no pills or crash diets that don鈥檛 work. Thank you!Tips and advice on my question please?
Swimming, anusara yoga, and bikram yoga would all be excellent matches for you. Swimming's easy on your joints, and will help you burn fat, since it's a cardio exercise. Anusara yoga tones your muscles, which will boost your metabolism, while bikram yoga gets your heart rate up.





In general, eat about 400 calories fewer than you usually do, and stick to natural foods, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, and lean meat. Make sure all your meals contain carbs, protein, and healthy fats.Tips and advice on my question please?
You need to do 45-60 minutes of cardio exercise 5-6 days a week in order to lose weight-it doesn't need to be high intensity but it does need to raise your heart rate enough to get you breathing heavily. Try spinning (intense group cycling-it's no impact so it shouldn't bother your knees), power walking, water aerobics or an elliptical trainer. You need to tone your muscles while you're losing fat to get that lean, toned look. Yoga and pilates are great because they are no impact and they stretch you out while they tone your muscles so you get those long, lean muscles. You can also do weight training, but do high repetitions (15-20) with light weigh to build endurance without bulk. Weight training (or yoga and pilates or all three) should be done 3-4 days a week. If you weight train, make sure you rest the body parts you work at least one day in between-your muscles break down during training and need at least 24 hours for them to repair.
I have bad knees. Spinning (the cycling class at most gyms) helped me the most. Swimming (not water aerobics: twisting in the class can hurt the knees as well). Following a simple eating plan may help. An easy place to start would be ediets.com or any book by Bob Greene (Oprahs trainer) She may not follow his teachings all the time, but he acknowledges real life issues. Best wishes! FYI chewing gum helped me when I had cravings!
Can you ride a bicycle with your bad kneeds? Cause if you can that is a great all over body workout. if not, you could stop drinking soda pop and only drink water that will help. and a friend of mine wore a sweatsuit when exercising with plastic trash bags under it. I guess it makes you sweat more. I know it sound crazy, but he lost 100 lbs in 5 months. I know that is extreme weight loss, but maybe you could do it for just a few weeks and reach your goal. Good luck to you.
