Fat Loss Tips.

I mostly do calisthenics but I lift weights occasionally.I’m talking about reaching the point of failure on any exercise after one rep or two reps or even 50 reps depending on the weight used. Is it detrimental to go to failure on an exercise? Should I stop shortly before going to temporary muscular failure? What’s the difference in reaching failure on one set versus cumulative exhaustion after several sets? Is going to failure a bad thing? Some people seem to think that going to failure is absolutely necessary on every set while others think that going to failure is like poison to your nervous system. Is it really that bad for you to continue a set until you temporarily can’t do any more? Does it lead to burn out(overtraining) more quickly than never going to failure? Is it necessary to feel a burn or feel fatigued after a set? Or could I just split up a set of ten repetitions into ten sets of one rep in order to prevent fatigue? I’m really confused.

2 mg per day dosage, in case it’s relevant. . .

My husband often works late, so I normally have alot of free time in the evenings. I get bored VERY easily. I am looking for something that I can do to pass the time other than exercise, TV, or Y!A…
Any suggestions?

I swim in addition to riding. I want to look fit in breeches haha, any exercise suggestions would be great.

I’m 21, and was 230 pounds about 2-3 weeks ago, I have been dieting since then and am at 225 now. I do a light to moderate amount of physical activity. Anyways, I’ve been consistently eating approx 1500-1700 calories daily for my weight loss. I am in college so it is often difficult to find healthy food, but I am eating mostly fruits and vegetables, tuna, and having lunch meat or bagel sandwitches and running 2-3 days a week.
So thats what I doing, could I be doing anything better, or am I doing something not as good as I should. Is that too little calories too eat for my size or can I reduce them even more. Should I be eating other types of food, vitamins, etc.
Just looking for some good general advice.

I am going to go, at least 3 times a week, even if I don’t feel comfortable. But I am planning on going after work at like 10pm, when a lot of people wont be there. I’m overweight so I feel like all the people who are in shape are watching me and judging me.

Also, what are the three components of a sound weight (fat) control program?
