I see that a lot of people on this board are fucking morons when it comes to fitness. So here is my advice for all of you:

READ THE FUCKING STICKY:

Probably overreacting, but they labelled water as a macronutrient.

yep they do. still a great sticky.

I need help with boxing. im trying to teach myself and get down the basics before i try joining any gym. any tips?
User avatar #2945 to #2870 - vwanyama (07/02/2012) [-]
Best going for lessons first instead of learning something basic wrong then having to learn it over again.

Punch them, and avoid their punches.

Head low, hands high, and your dominant foot in front: this is the position you should resume after any strikes.

Keep this position in mind when you do strike; if you take a rookie swing out and around from your body, you are vulnerable. Keep it tight and quick.

Always keep your feet in a position that will keep you from stumbling backward (never put most of your weight on your back foot)

Remember to breath with each punch, or you will fuck yourself real quick.
User avatar #2885 to #2877 - drewsky (06/30/2012) [-]
Are you sure you should keep your dominant foot in front? Wouldn't that force you to have your dominant hand in front, taking a lot of power away from your straight?
User avatar #2928 to #2885 - cookiedealer (07/02/2012) [-]
Dominant foot for right handers = left foot in front and vice versa
User avatar #2930 to #2928 - drewsky (07/02/2012) [-]
Gotcha, thanks for the info. I don't box, I just fight when I have to.
User avatar #2871 to #2870 - pleasureabledino (06/30/2012) [-]
When you punch, pivot on your feet. You'll get more power in your strikes.

When you punch, aim for about 3 foot behind your targets head.

Don't tuck your thumb into your fist. Best way to break it.

Hands up, or you'll get punched. Pure and simple. I prefer to keep one fist against my temple and the my lead just in front of my eye , parallel to the side of my head,

Don't uppercut someone to the nose your punch them in the temple. Both could easily kill someone.

So I'm going into the corps of cadets in Virginia Tech and I'm required to be able to run for two miles and do pull-ups and crunches for two minutes each. I'm mostly concerned with the running. Any tips on getting my endurance up to a two mile run in about a month?
User avatar #2862 to #2859 - BorderPatrol (06/30/2012) [-]
Run, not just normally, run up hill, down hill, with weight, without weights, different terrains, etc.
User avatar #2864 to #2862 - gmarrox (06/30/2012) [-]
Thanks man. Any advice on how much I should increase my distance every time? I think I'm at half a mile so far, next I'm going for a mile.
User avatar #2865 to #2864 - BorderPatrol (06/30/2012) [-]
Well, what I do is I go running around my house. I used to go to the church in the next block, then when i got more conditioning i went to the pharmacy which is like 11 blocks away (after a month of running and parkour training).
So it's mostly about how you feel it.
User avatar #2866 to #2865 - gmarrox (06/30/2012) [-]
Alright man thanks.
User avatar #2867 to #2866 - BorderPatrol (06/30/2012) [-]
No prob. Oh and pro tip. If you don't feel like running, RUN. Once you start slacking off it all goes to shit.

if I want to loose weight how often should I got swimming and does anyone know a good website to learn yoga from begginer to advanced
User avatar #2876 to #2847 - hackapelite (06/30/2012) [-]
average person burns about +/-2000 kcal a day, ingest less than that and/or burn more energy by exercising

running, swimming, cycling are all good for burning calories. about three times a week

i run three times a week for 30 minutes and walk everyday for about an hour or more
has worked for me..

I really have no idea what 144 pounds even looks like in a girl. I'm a guy, and I only know the healthy weight ranges for a males.
Do you think of yourself as fat?
User avatar #2854 to #2853 - blenderrender **User deleted account** (06/30/2012) [-]
yea im kinda muscular in the upper body I have no idea I play drums that might be why and lots of tug of war with the dog I have a few jiggly bits I want rid of
#2856 to #2854 - catzombie (06/30/2012) [-]

User avatar #2857 to #2856 - blenderrender **User deleted account** (06/30/2012) [-]
I dont have time to everyday I can do other stuff on other days but I don't have time or the money to visit the pool every day I can do 3-4 times a week which is why I mention house yoga also how do I tone down a bicep I would like to be around 115 pounds because im short
User avatar #2873 to #2857 - abitur ONLINE (06/30/2012) [-]
you don't even have to do anything physically to lose weight. you fix your diet, calories in - calories out. Lets say you eat 3000 kcal a day, you have to burn at least 3000 kcal to hold your weight. easy, right? now what do you do if you want to lose weight? two options:

1. Eat less kcal than you daily burn by walking, breathing etc. Calculate your BMR and eat less than this.

2. Burn more kcal than you consume.
#2868 to #2857 - jetmb (06/30/2012) [-]
Buy a treadmill or go running. If public humiliation or embarrassment bothers you when running, then that should just be all the more motivation you need to continue running. And, running is free. You can also, do different variety of push ups to help tone your upper body a bit while you lose weight. It'll also help burn more calories during your day. Also, sit-ups, crunches, and reverse crunches to tone those abs when you get down to about 120.

Is it normal to get stretch marks on your biceps / triceps and armpit / pecs after a workout?
User avatar #2840 to #2839 - derbydoll (06/29/2012) [-]
Yes, when skin stretches to fast, it makes stretch marks. You can purchase some lotion for it, which really helps take away the colour of the marks.
User avatar #2904 to #2840 - eldeeko (07/01/2012) [-]
No, i'm afraid you are entirely wrong.

Stretch marks are not caused by skin stretching to fast at all.

Stretch marks are caused when the skin is stretched to a certain point, and then the muscle underneath slowly gets smaller.

So if you do too many curl get a pump, your muscle grows temporally larger and your skin stretches, after you lose your pump and vascular increase, the skin is no longer stretched out and "sags" to produce the stretch marks.

I have some, and i know how they work. Do some research.

So,for those who are losing weight,I can recommend one of the best diet's that is healthy,and can help you lose weight.It's called juicing,juice your fruit and vegetables.You're super charging nutrients and getting more bang for your buck.Does anyone need more advice?Or maybe more fact's about it?
User avatar #2894 to #2835 - szymonf (07/01/2012) [-]
have fun taking shits
User avatar #2863 to #2835 - BorderPatrol (06/30/2012) [-]
I am going to try this, and maybe start boxing next month. Thank you.
User avatar #2881 to #2863 - bloodwarrior (06/30/2012) [-]
Nice,you should look up more fact's and reviews about it.Also,there is a movie called "Fat,sick,and nearly dead" on Netflix.That guy does Juicing for two month's!
#2841 to #2835 - N. Korean citizen (06/29/2012) [-]
And then when you start eating solid foods again (fiber), your ass will become like a fountain of shit.
#2838 to #2835 - N. Korean citizen (06/29/2012) [-]
Best way to loose weight is just to run alot, and count calories. There isn't a big fancy diet, or secrets to this, just discipline.
User avatar #2845 to #2838 - bloodwarrior (06/30/2012) [-]
Yes,I agree.Juicing is still the best thing to do for your body.Lose weight and get your body back in order.
User avatar #2833 - jokeface (06/29/2012) [-]
i wanna tone my chest and abs but i can't afford a gym membership. will sit-ups/push-ups be enough or is there something more i could be doing?
User avatar #2858 to #2833 - gmarrox (06/30/2012) [-]
Lay on your back, lift your legs in the air, cross them, place your hands at your sides. do crunches that way without your hands coming up off the floor. do that for two minutes a few times a day to get abs. To get rid of lovehandles, do side crunches.
#2836 to #2833 - iamphoenix (06/29/2012) [-]
Do push-ups and crunches. Sit-ups are bad for your back and hit the hip flexors more than the abs.

I'm not sure what you're asking but if that's a pic of you it's kinda sad that some people are thumbing you down and criticizing you for being thin. Some people are just naturally very thin.

Skeleton skinny is NOT cute. It's OK to be healthy with some curves. Curves are sexy, bones are not.

Which workout is better, fitness? Insanity, or P90X? go!
#2828 to #2798 - thepenname (06/29/2012) [-]
I don't know, my brother and I are both Tony Horton marks since we used his Power 90 (kind of the precursor to P90X) to get into shape. Well, me more than my brother. I do have one disc of P90X+ and I can say those two routines (just abs and upper body) are fucking killer. Really, I think you'll get decent results with either. Going off bcsaint's comment, consider how much time you can dedicate to a workout or you want to dedicate as well as how much you can afford. I think Insanity doesn't require any equipment, so that's one advantage in terms of cost. In P90X, they want you to have resistance bands or dumbbells, push-up stands and Beach Body's multi-positional pull-up bar. So yeah, a lot more shit for which to shell out the bucks.
User avatar #2826 to #2798 - cpislucky (06/29/2012) [-]
Depends on what you want
Insanity focuses almost solely on cardio
P90x focuses on changing the workout and exercising different areas of the body.

From personal experience, I would say that P90x does provide better results though.
User avatar #2815 to #2798 - bcsaint (06/29/2012) [-]
It depends on how much time you have, the p90x is about 1 hour and 45 mins some days while the insanity is about 45 mins. The p90x is more of a hard core work out, but demands a lot of time that most people can't afford. The insanity is hard core for a little while, but not with as good of results
User avatar #2813 to #2798 - corundum (06/29/2012) [-]
Insanity or P90X if you are contemplating suicide.

i do 195kg (429lbs) 15 reps, anyone better?
#2825 to #2794 - iamphoenix (06/29/2012) [-]
The most I've ever done was 630 for 8 reps. I stopped then because my vision started to go dark and colors were flashing.
User avatar #2830 to #2825 - comininhot (06/29/2012) [-]
wow, shame 195kg is the maximum on the machine im using
#2834 to #2830 - iamphoenix (06/29/2012) [-]
630 is probably the safe maximum for what I use, since there's hardly any room left on the stack for another plate, but it's actual maximum is 720.
User avatar #2816 to #2794 - bcsaint (06/29/2012) [-]
When I was in cross country I could do 600 lbs for 10 reps

Do you people think that alcohol fucks up your muscle "regeneration"? I asked it a lot of times to various people and they agreed, it could also explain why it takes me so much to lift more weight. Opinions?
User avatar #2774 to #2773 - haydn (06/28/2012) [-]
Personally think it's a load of bollocks, I've been lifting for two months now and in them 2 months I've drank quite a fair amount (watchoutwegotabadassoverhere.jpg) and I've put on more muscle and weight than I could have imagined. Usually at my gym on sunday mornings you'll see all the steak 'eads punishing themselves for the weekend.
#2775 to #2774 - iamphoenix (06/28/2012) [-]
Alcohol has lots of carbs and calories, your body is getting more fuel to burn.
User avatar #2777 to #2775 - haydn (06/28/2012) [-]
Yeah I understand that, but I doubt it has masses of effect on you? It hasn't on me, unless I'm just lucky? (Which I doubt)
#2779 to #2777 - iamphoenix (06/28/2012) [-]
It depends on what kind of alcohol you're consuming, I suppose. People used to drink a fuckton in the early 1800's because the kind of booze they were downing had a shit ton of carbs and calories and they needed it to keep working all day. I'm not a nutritionist but that sounds reasonable to me.
User avatar #2784 to #2779 - haydn (06/28/2012) [-]
I stick to my lagers, but sometimes if deals are on I will go to the more feminine drink!
User avatar #2783 to #2779 - ericmetalero (06/28/2012) [-]

#2785 to #2783 - iamphoenix (06/28/2012) [-]

Hi all.
So here i am sitting 2 stone lighter than what i was at Christmas 2011. I seem to have lost 2 stone, and it's no longer moving. If anything i eat the smallest thing and i find myself worried as it goes up like....4lbs if i do. I'm turning to anyone who can help me out on what to do? I've been trying the gym 4 times a week but work commitments as of late has made it incredibly difficult to do so. Last week i managed it twice, this week only once but intend on going Friday. Can anyone give any advice at all on trying to shift this inanimate weight?
#2795 to #2769 - iamphoenix (06/28/2012) [-]
Start changing what kind of exercises you do. Watch your calorie count. Either that or start bulking up and building up a fuckload of muscle.
