getting in shape...
Yo anyone got recommendations as far as what quick exercises I can do to get cut? I mean doing a few reps of sit ups a night and curls/push ups, etc should come out pretty good right?? I dont have much time during the weekdays, so tips on stuff I can do during the nights would be cool..... trying to tone up before the end of the year basically is my goal. Thanks

theres so much to say about this subject im not even gonna get into it. there are too many variables about your diet, body type, what muscle groups to work together, what days to workout, what times to eat, what to eat, supplements...too much. And yes they all have to do with getting fast results. like someone up there said, there is no quick fix. if you want good results fast, you have to take all these things into consideration. but that website is a good start. |

Watch what you eat, this is very important. Also do a search on "cutting phase", alot of the info and methods could be used by an average person (nonbodybuilder) to get rid of bodyfat, HIIT as an alternative to jogging your ass off.

i've lost a lot of weight by running constantly. -20 lbs so far in the past 8 months
whatever you do, be consistant, and don't be a pussy, no pain no gain.

Burn more calories than you eat. Do any type of cardio exercise (get ur heart goin). Situps will just build muscle and make your stomach bigger but if you do cardio too, then your six pack will start to appear when you lose all the blubber around your belly!

we got a gym at work, so I can probably start hitting that up during lunch breaks, just gotta start doing my homework at home instead of at lunch hehe... Im thinking to get back on creatine, I guess I can start setting up a diet also. I think this would be a good for me since its pretty much gives me motivation if I set up a goal.
Im not tryin to be superman or kick peoples asses... I jus wanna look good at the beach etc... being surrounded by overwieght people 8hours a day really sucks...

run run run. Really good for shedding fat. Dropped my weight from 198 to 160 in 5 months from running and eating right.

basically what they are saying is you need more cardio to shed the excess pounds, creatine does the same thing as loading water before you go into the gym.... i personally wouldn't take it because all it does is add water weight....
eat right + exercise = 6 pack and pimp status.. (in case you're wondering how i know i went from 280 to 218 in a year but now am at 240)

whatever you do, make sure you have a proper diet to back up your workout. When you lose weight, your body is using both protein and fat as a fuel sources (muscle and fat). If you're not eating properly and running/lifting, you will lose weight, but you will lose A LOT of muscle as well. Make sure you're getting at LEAST .8 grams of protein per pound of lean body mass.
Diet is just as important as your exercise. I figured this out the hard way...I went from 215 to 170 in three months. I didn't eat right, I lost a lot of fat and was skinny as a twig, but now i'm in the process of building back a lot of the muscle I lost. I'm now back up to 190 lbs with MUCH more muscle content than before I lost weight, but I would have even more muscle mass if I would have eaten right when I was losing weight. |

dont use any of that dumb supplement stuff, all they do is just slap on extra nutrients and stuff to your body you dont need if youre already eating a healthy well balanced diet

If you're gonna take creatine you better drink a hell of a lot of water. You'll see why when you go to the restroom

I know something better than running. That's kayaking...you know....rowing that little boat.....not only does it get you in shape really quick......but it also gets you super flexable

Other than than that, just do a lot of cardio. If you also do some weight training it will speed it up faster but you will gain some muscle mass too.
