[quote=Anonymous]I am a women in my 30s. I have a toddler and I've never lost the baby weight: I want to lose 30 pounds. The last time I lost a significant amount of weight and kept it off (which was pre-baby) I did a ton of cardio every day, plus careful eating. I have less free time now and I've heard that building muscle is an efficient way to burn calories. Currently I have okay leg strength but zero core or arm strength -- I can't hold a plank for more than 10 seconds. What beginner's exercises have the most impact for time spent? A lot of the exercises I see online or in magazines involve some kind of plank, which as I mentioned I can't do (yet). Is it useful to just keep attempting planks until I get better? On the one hand it's hard, but on the other hand it doesn't feel like "exercise." Thanks![/quote]
