How to lose inches around the waist?
I eat fairly healthy (am working on a diet plan) and when I go to the gym, I'm using the elliptical for 60 minutes (I make it a fairly steep grade, and have a good amount of resistance) I'm looking to lose inches around the mid part of my body-upper thighs to lower stomach. Is there a better plan to doing that then what I'm doing currently? Anything helps! Thank you!

- Spin around like a 4yearold child.do around 50 to 100 the first few days work up to 200...dont spin all at one time...read my source...youll get results AND have fun:)So above, I described the correct way to spin around. Clockwise… with your arms out like airplane wings. Now, here's how you should start out spinning. Jennifer Jolan – Special Report - Spinning 14 DAY 1: Begin with spinning around just 5 times. Faster is not necessarily better... but your goal should be to spin around on the faster side. 5 times is a base level to try. If you really want to see the "real" effects of spinning, try 12-20. However, if you want to do this properly, just trust me and do 5 spins on the first set. Do them? Ok. How did it go? What is your body telling you? Here is the goal... AND THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT, SO PLEASE REMEMBER THIS EVERY TIME YOU SPIN. You try to spin enough until you are SLIGHTLY DIZZY. That is the goal. That is all you need to benefit from spinning. Anything more and you may have problems such as excess dizziness, which will make you feel NOT-SOGOOD for the rest of the day. Just do yourself a favor and trust me. Take it easy and ease into it. Start with 5 spins and rest at least 1 minute. After that, you can do as many spins as you think it will take to get SLIGHTLY dizzy. Nothing more… nothing less. Keep repeating this until you've done between 50-100 total spins. Remember, this is just day 1. Anyway, if you need a few minutes between each set of spins, take a few minutes. If 5 spins didn't do anything for you, do more. Jennifer Jolan – Special Report - Spinning 15 How many? Use your good judgement and guess. SLIGHTLY DIZZY, SLIGHTLY DIZZY, SLIGHTLY DIZZY!!! REMEMBER THAT! TIP: Watch TV, Lose Weight When you watch tv, there are usually 20 minutes or so of commercials during each hour of programming. A good idea is to do your spinning during commercials. You could easily get in 1-2 sets during each commercial break and a minimum of 8 sets during 1 hour of tv. I DON'T WANT ANY EXCUSES!! So you start with 5 spins on your 1st set. After that, use your own good judgement on how long to rest and how many spins you should do for the next set. If you got really dizzy with just 5 reps, then consider taking a long rest and doing 3 spins the next time. Whatever you do, don't quit. For almost every person who does this, their body usually adjusts to the spins within 7-10 days... 14 days at the very latest (if they had a hard time with extreme dizziness to begin with). Now, for people who like to jump in the deep end right away... you're more than welcome to just go ahead and spin around 12-20 times on your first try. But I must warn you… Jennifer Jolan – Special Report - Spinning 16 you may get really dizzy to the point of being nauseous and sick. My fear with you doing that is you may quit the program right away without giving it an honest chance if you are one of the few who gets sick. So you've been warned!! Please use your common sense. Pay attention to how your body reacts and adjust accordingly with either less or more spins per set... slower or faster spins... more or less rest between each set of spins. Just remember the most important goal with spins... SPIN TO THE POINT WHERE YOU GET SLIGHTLY DIZZY. By paying attention to your reaction to spins, you'll generally know where you should be. Just know this. You're not in a race. This is something you can and should do for the rest of your life... everyday. It's that important. DAYS 2-5: Gradually challenge your body more... with more spins per set, more speed, and less rest between each set. Each person is different so don't get caught up with the numbers. The only number that is important is the total # of spins you do each day. Eventually you'll want to build up to at least 200 reps... But that may take a week or 2 for some. THAT'S FINE. Nothing to worry about. Jennifer Jolan – Special Report - Spinning 17 So try to get 200 total spins each day... by day 14 or so. If you can do 200 spins on day 1, awesome!!! However you go about this is fine, I just don't want you to quit during the 2 week time period. I am positive that if you do the spins for 2 weeks, you will be so happy with the results that you'll do them for a long, long time. HOW I SPIN EACH DAY: My daily spin routine is simple. I usually spin 20 times for each set and I try to do 20 sets... for a total of 400 spins each day. That probably is on the excessive side, but I like doing them. They make me feel awesome and help tone me up. I usually do 5 sets right when I wake up. After that, I just do them whenever I get the chance... basically when I have privacy and some room to spin. I get in a lot of spins during tv commercials also. So I aim for 20 sets, but I really don't know how many I do. I've turned them into a habit, so I don't need to think about it. I just do them when I get a chance. This
