Running is good. When it comes to strength training, don't just focus on a few things (like daily of pushups and crunches). Instead, get a well rounded routine that works all your muscles. Look around for program ideas, if you don't have access to equipment, there are also a lot of bodyweight exercises you can do.
Don't just try to go without eating, you need to eat every few hours, and make sure you are eating enough. Just make sure you eat the right things. |
would a gym membership be worth money? I'd prefer to do this without a gym membership but I can see how a well rounded excerise routine would be important. Maybe I do running/push ups/crunches one day, and then the next I do pullups (I could go to the local park or something) and something else. I forgot to mention that I'm now working in the Self-Serve warehouse for IKEA, and so I do get a lot of lifting of boxes/pallets. That'll probably help. I'll google/search the boards for good tips on excersises.
Tomorrow I start, so this should be interesting.
. Probably the hardest part for me will be staying determined..
EDIT: Just adding in, how can I watch calorie intake, i.e if i eat an apple how much is that? I assume what I should do everyday for eating:
- Cereal/Milk (?)
- Snack: Apple/or some kind of fruit
- Lunch: Some kind of lean meat/some kind of fruit/some kind of vegetables
- Before Dinner: Ramen (?) some kind of carb
- Dinner: Main course + vegiies?
Also with school coming, when should I do my work out, after school, before school, before sleep? Tips on timing are great. I'm trying to research but it seems like workouts and timing and all that are really dependent on your goals...
