Hey guys I'm kind of out of shape and wanted to start doing sit ups every day to help trim myself down a bit. Thing is, I wanna know if it would be better to do them before I go to bed or after I wake up.
#5311 to #5266 - skwaab (09/07/2012) [-]
Blasting the sit-ups are gonna strengthen your abs a wee bit, you won't find they'll "trim you down"...

If you're looking to trim yourself down, you wanna try low carbs and some decent cardio, (sprinting is seriously good for burning the fat)

Food and exercise.
User avatar #5255 - hazmaat (09/04/2012) [-]
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?
User avatar #5263 to #5255 - futuramafan (09/05/2012) [-]
I wondered the same thing when I started running
#5261 to #5255 - skwaab (09/04/2012) [-]
Congrats on the decent time though!
User avatar #5262 to #5261 - hazmaat (09/04/2012) [-]
Thanks, I've really just been training for the Army entry PT test; I got to my goal time a hell of a lot closer than I thought I would of.
#5260 to #5255 - skwaab (09/04/2012) [-]
More than likely it's pacing- Pacing is alot easier (I find) indoors...

It might also be your diet... If your glycogen and energy levels are low, you can expect to see a dip in performance...

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?
User avatar #5257 to #5253 - hybridboxll (09/04/2012) [-]
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.

So I want to loose weight off my thighs as they are really big and I'd like them slimmer. Not muscled big unfortunately.

What is the best exercises I can do around the house to slim them?
User avatar #5256 to #5251 - hybridboxll (09/04/2012) [-]
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.

Yo fitness fags I started a new job yesterday loading and unloading boxes from lorries for 8 hours a day, the average box weighing in at 60kg and there are usually 300+ per lorry, 4 lorries a day. I go to the gym regularly but now i am wondering will my body be able to properly recover from training sessions if i'm also doing this job?
User avatar #5278 to #5250 - starJOCK (09/05/2012) [-]
Skwaab is correct, youll need more fuel to burn throughout the day, though after a while, your body will enter homeostasis, where it knows what to expect through out your normal day. It won't make it any easier, but your body will slowly adapt.
#5258 to #5250 - skwaab (09/04/2012) [-]
More complex carbs and proteins for fuel and reparing shit.

If not, you might wanna look at some whey protein, or some caffeine/ other energy boosting supps to keep you fuelled.

What are some good workouts for a 15 y/o baseball player?

The only reason i said baseball player is cuz im asking for things that would help me play better
User avatar #5245 to #5239 - hybridboxll (09/04/2012) [-]
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.

User avatar #5231 to #5227 - hybridboxll (09/03/2012) [-]
Eat less if you stuff your face, eat healthier if you eat junk.

Walk 30-60 minutes a day, if you can do that with ease then jog.
User avatar #5233 to #5231 - sickpup **User deleted account** (09/03/2012) [-]
Alright, thanks
User avatar #5230 to #5227 - slantedvanity (09/03/2012) [-]
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.
User avatar #5232 to #5230 - sickpup **User deleted account** (09/03/2012) [-]
It will hardly stunt my growth, I'm 6'3
I shit you not
User avatar #5237 to #5232 - hybridboxll (09/03/2012) [-]
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 :)
