anyway, i played soccer (and volleyball) again this weekend, and alhamdulillah, i already notice a difference in speed, endurance, and overall energy. i even scored a couple goals. i was still tired afterward, but it was a more pleasant tired feeling (vs a "i want to puke and die" tired feeling). (i actually did get sick later, but i think that was due to the cholay i was forced to eat at the picnic. cholay is my worst enemy).




googled it.. from a quick glance, it looks like mostly leg exercises. i don't do or care about doing any leg exercises.. my legs are already lean/solid & i definitely don't want them to get any bigger.

but the really tough thing about travelling isn't working out (most hotels have gyms/workout rooms so that's not really an issue) but eating healthy and often. i like to eat 4-5 3-400 calorie meals with a snack or two to get ~2000 calories. that becomes difficult on the road. i'll try to eat healthy and light for the main meals and keep protein bars handy the rest of the time.

Death by bodyweight is maingly legs and squats but there are alternatives like this:

Bodybuilding.com - Mike Mahler - Bodyweight Exercises For Size & Strength!

incorporate Hindu Pushups and Diamond pushups and anything else to get the job done. I break it into a circuit and work well into the pain barrier...it makes a difference.

because im short AND a girl and i eat like 1500-2000 ealories everyday also. i could never drop down to 1200 and continue working out. that's just crazyyy.

I eat around 2300 calories: I'm looking to lose a lot of body fat and build a little muscle. I do a lot of cardio too but I basically eat within certain parameters.

I want around 7-10% body fat.

I wont goto a gym, and its too hot to do much outside...
Any suggestions?

Why not find a DVD thats cardio based? Theres one called walk away the pounds its suppossed to be good. You can get a cheap exercise bike or a treadmill.

that's an extremely ambitious goal, bro, good luck.. you must already be in pretty good shape if you're aiming for that. i would be very happy to be at 12% (but then, i'm an endomesomorph).

What is an ectomorph/endomorph and how do you find out if you are one?
I'm too lazy to google.

Yeh... I don't know why some girls feel the need to try and get to the point where they're... pointy. There are a couple of disturbing cases at my gym... I hope they too realize the need for the occasional ice cream bar.

Have any of you ever seen rock climbers? I think they are hands down the most fit people I've ever seen (in terms of dense, lean muscle). I'm gonna look into some rock climbing fitness.

Riding my bike to work and the gym for the next two weeks. About 25-30 miles round trip. Should be a nice addition to my training.


Revert how much are you down?

Revert how much are you down?

Pound wise around 2 however body fat wise a lot. I've lost at least 4 inches on my waist. I had someone at work comment on my weight loss yesterday...

My calf is healing up and i can walk normally now but i need to ease off on the cardio until its fully healed.

What Is Your Body Type?

Your score is 2.25.

Your body is closest to a Mesomorph. You have a naturally fit body but to maintain it or improve it you should exercise and diet correctly for your type. Strength training can be done more often and for longer sessions then would be good for an Ectomorph, but you must still be carefull not to overdo it. You should train with moderate to heavy weighs and at a moderate pace, not resting too long between sets. You will find you gain muscle quite easy (some women and even men might not want to get too bulky, but this won't happen suddenly. When you are happy with your muscle size simply train to maintain it). Stick to a good healthy diet to keep you lean and muscular, and watch for any slow creeping fat gains. Engage in and enjoy aerobic activities, sports, etc. but do not overdo.

Body fat, eh? oh man

[flutterz]

Your score is 2.5.

Your body is between an Ectomorph and a Mesomorph.

i liked the question about wrist size. i've got like freakishly tiny wrists. my dad used to tell me i should start driving a truck to get them bigger and stronger. i sometimes do the thing with weights where you hold the weight and kinda half-rotate your hand/wrist. but i've been afraid to do that lately cuz my ganglion thingy is back on my left wirst n this time it's like right on top of a nerve or something n it hurts just using a pair of scissors . i keep forgetting to find the phone book...

so yeah, how does one get their freakishly tiny wrists to get bigger n stronger? n what's a good workout for triceps that are like non-existent?
