Alright guys, this is my first time on this board.
I'm a Highschool Freshman, and figure myself to be in pretty good shape. I generally run on the indoor track we have, but I decided to run outdoor today. My indoor time is 15:26 for just 2 miles, whilst my outdoor time today for 19:09.
What the hell? Why is running out door so much harder? Is it the incline? The harder surface?

Hey guys I need some tips , a few years ago I tore a ligament in my wrist (insert wanking joke there) which has signicantly weakened my wrist, now I want to try and get fit but I'm frightened that I may damage my wrist . Any suggestion as to wht I can do?
Have you tried doing some Physical Therapy for your wrist's strength?
If not; I think that would be the best thing for you to do right now.
If you already did and that's as far as you're progressing then you have a few options:
- Lifting weights is not the only way to get fit; sports are good too and several don't ask much out of your wrist.
- If the weakness is very bad I guess you could use a brace of some sort and limit your workouts to exercises that don't require you to bend your wrist.
Either way I think you should consult with a physician first, like you said, you could cause further damage to your wrist.
Good luck.

Eat less, exercise more. Any kind of exercise will burn calories and a caloric deficit (less coming in that what you're using) will make you lose weight; so you can go for, lifting weights (low reps, 3-5), jogging, cycling, swimming, playing any kind of sport, etc.

What koala said is good advice, I'll just elaborate a bit on what he said.
In baseball you need explosive strength (batting, pitching and running all require quick bursts of energy from your muscles). Two main factors affect this:
- Sheer Strength: Low reps (3-5) with heavy weights
- Rate of force development: This should be worked on with bodyweight exercises that exert a lot of force in a very small time. You should have enough of this if you practice frequently.
Now; which exercises will get you the strength you need?
For running I'd go with good ol' squats, deadlifts and calf raises should do the trick.
For batting you'll need strength in your legs, core (abs and back), shoulders and triceps. I'd imagine the most important is the core.
And I think that for throwing you use about the same muscles as for batting.
You might want to wait for someone with more knowledge on the mechanics of batting and throwing to give you advice though.
Good luck!

Train in a way that mimics what you do on the field.
If you want to increase your speed then do sets of sprints.
Hand-eye co-ordination? Then you'd better get a fucking ball and bounce that shit off a wall as hard as you can. Try to catch it as it bounces off.
Improve your batting? Get a stick. Get a punching bag. Piñata the shit out of that punching bag using correct batting technique. Try to hit it faster and harder each time.

Can anyone give some fitness tips to a 13 year old? I really need to get more fitter, walking up the stairs for me is almost turning into a chore for me
Since your still growing, please don't over do it with the weight lifting, other wise it will stunt your growth. Work out by using your body weight, start by doing small things in a short time and gradually increase the intensity and time working out. Don't stress out, your body takes time to lose weight.
Don't listen to him... Lifting weights can't possibly stunt your growth unless you get severely injured.
There are only two things that have a real effect on your height:
- Genetics: This is how tall you can possibly get, the "potential" you have.
- Nutrition: Being malnourished or sick for a period of time will it impossible for you to reach that potential. The longer you're under-fed the more potential height you're losing.
Correlation does NOT imply causation.
Slanted lifted weights since he was young and he is short. That's a correlation, but that doesn't mean lifting weights made him short.
If you're fit enough after walking/jogging for a few months then I say if you want to go to the gym and lift weights. If you prefer cardio try some new, higher intensity activities like cycling, climbing, swimming, boxing, etc.
Stick to whatever you like and have fun with. (It might take some time to get used to exercising consistently, but you'll end up liking it; guaranteed)
Good luck :)
