Okay I have 2 brothers and they compete all the time against each other in muscles etc. like most guys do.They are both personal trainers. Both do boxing and martial arts. And are trying out for the UFC. I on the other hand went the other hand feel fat! I had 2 kids and even though I lost 75lbs and am now 115 and should feel awesome I always feel like the odd ball when I am in photos with them.I am trying to get in better shape and mostly tone up but I hardly have time with raising the kids on my own and working and a full time student! Any suggestions on quick workouts I can do to tone up ?

It takes -3500 calories to loose a pound, which means you need to both burn calories by working out & take less calories in by eating in order to loose weight.
Eat fruits & veggies of course. It’s typical to eat a small breakfast and a big dinner, but my health teacher said you actually want to do the opposite. And never skip breakfast, it helps you loose weight. I stopped driking pop and lost 50 pounds in 1 year!! Don’t drink juice. You’d think fruit juice is good for you, but its not. It has alot of sugar and extra calories. People say dont eat carbs’ not true, 60% of your diet is suposed to be from some type of carbs… just make sure you eat whole grain or whole wheat bread. And drink only skim milk, all others arent so great for you. Just watch what you eat and pay attention to nutrition labels!
Make sure you do some weight bearing activities along with cardio, it’ll help build muscle and burn fat! If you cant buy a gym membership try going for a walk or run ourside, doing jumping jacks, jump rope, running up & down your stairs, lifting weights, doings situps & pushups.. those are just some ideas that’ll help!
Good luck!
don’t compare yourself to others be content with who you are
115 pounds? How tall are you?
Meanwhile, if you just want to tone up, then stick to a regular diet, low-fat, low-sugar, healthy choices, and 250 calorie meals 6-7 times a day. Weight training will help sculpt, less weight with more reps for toning rather than bulky mass. And get your doc involved to be sure there’s not a physical reason that you have trouble, plus some advice on workouts that work.
the age of your kids can help. if they are still young, say 2 -6 y/o, you could use them as weights. carry them around the house, let them sit on your shoulders and do some squats…then count…it teaches them to count too! play with them through these exercises or run with them. Spending about 30minutes playing with them helps burn out some of those calories and you still get to have fun and they get to enjoy your company.
