I was a football and baseball player until a back surgery in 2011 prevented me from playing sports ever again. I have just been cleared to exercise and work out as tolerated. I would really like to know the best way to cut the most weight. I don't care how long it takes, I am a very driven individual, and I'm willing to take the time to put the work in. Currently my diet is that of an average 15 year old. I eat junk food from time to time, and I like pop. The problem is, I was unable to work any of it off. Until now. I really want to know an ideal diet/workout regimen for a kid my age, that will help me get to a healthier weight. I'm not a kid who wants six pack abs in 3 months or anything that far fetched. Just an ideal diet/workout regimen. Thanks in advance! ]]> Weight Loss MarchMadness98 http://training.fitness.com/weight-loss/help-15-year-old-wanting-lose-weight-65303.html http://training.fitness.com/weight-loss/help-trouble-loosing-weight-getting-tone-65269.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:01:29 GMT Hey Guys,

Well this is my first post on this forum, its good to be here, you all look like you know what you're doing.
I am nearly 15, 6'3 and about 105kg. I live in VIC, Australia.

I am on a few different medications for my mental health that have been affecting my weight and metabolism ever since I was about 9.
They add weight, which I work off every week, maintaining 105kg. They lower my metabolism to get rid of weight. And they make me more tired not aiding in being able to go for 30 minutes at a time with high intensity.

I really want to have a better looking body. And I think the first step would be to loose fat. To show the muscles I already have, which I have from doing regular excersize weekly. What is the best way to loose weight, show more definition? Also to have the energy to go for longer periods of time, I don't want to be taking things that will put on weight though.

I eat well too. Breakfast - Low fat yogurt and muesli. Snack - Canned Pinapple or Other Fruit. Lunch - Stirfry or Sandwhich. Dinner - Various (But Healthy). I know I can maintain my weight, but now I want to show my muscle and loose that flabby gut.

Workout Plan is: 1 hour at Gym use of caffine tablet (High Intensity), 1.5 hours at Footy Training (Medium Intensity), 1.5 hours play Footy Game (Medium Intensity)

What can I do?

Thanks

It is better to plan a Workout for your full body by adding four or five exercises to it if you are not acquainted with lifting weights for many years.
• Push (chest, shoulders, and triceps) –pushups, dips, overhead press, bench press, incline dumbbell press.
• Pull (back, biceps, and forearms)- chin ups, dumbbell rows, inverse body weight rows, pull ups.
• Core (abs and lower back) –hanging leg raises, planks, side planks, exercise ball crunches, jumping knee tucks, mountain climbers.
• Quads –squats, lunges, one legged squats, box jumps.
• Butt and Hamstrings –good mornings, step ups, hip raises, dead lifts, straight leg dead lifts.
Pick any single exercise from each section and this will work for every muscle of your body. Try to change the routine from time to time to avoid boredom and most importantly to excited your muscles. You can go for shoulder presses on Monday, do Squats on Wednesday and bench presses on Friday. A gap of 48-72 hours between workouts is to be maintained as your muscles get built up while resting. The number of workouts should not go beyond 25 sets for all exercises as overdoing of sets bring harm to your body. Each set should hold 5 to 6 exercises. To begin with four sets will be good.
To build strength and size, your rep ranges should be variable.
• Monday: Medium reps (8-12) and medium weight.
• Wednesdays: Low reps (5-8) and heavy.
• Fridays: Weight High reps (12-15) and lower weight.
Reps in the 1-5 range helps in building dense muscle and muscular strength. Reps in the 6-12 range get you muscular endurance and muscular strength. Reps in the 12+ range help in building muscular size and muscular endurance. All these rep ranges work well for the overall development of your muscles.
Wait Between Reps Ranges
The “Men’s Health Big Book of Exercises” is a book all about workout routine and plans. It says about how long we should wait between our sets depending on how many reps we are performing for exercise. The resting period between reps ranges provide you a well rounded muscles and well balanced body.

• 1-3 Reps: Rest for 3 to 5 minutes.
• 4-7 Reps: Rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
• 8-12 Reps: Rest for 1 to 2 minutes.
• 13 Reps+: Rest for 1 minute or less.
Amount of reps and weight can be mingled in a single exercise. Here is an example for a dumbbell chest press for a Friday to make your idea clear:
• 12 reps at 65 pound dumbbells, take a break of 90 seconds.
• 10 reps at 70 pound dumbbells, take a break of 90 seconds.
• 8 reps at 75 pound dumbbells, take a break of 90 seconds.
• 6 reps at 80 pound dumbbells, done! ]]> Body Building letsstayfit http://training.fitness.com/body-building/workout-plan-muscle-building-65263.html http://training.fitness.com/articles-research/8-health-benefits-laughter-65258.html Mon, 17 Jun 2013 07:13:13 GMT What can laughter do?: 1: Lower blood pressure 2: Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood 3: Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial, leg, and back muscles 4: Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline 5: Increase the response...

I have a bench press, several dumbells, and a barbell. I'm 14, a guy and weigh around 140 pounds. I was wanting to know some workouts that I could do with these, have the recommended weights and mainly work on my chest and triceps. Finally I've heard of people doing vertical push ups. I was wanting to do these for a while but lack the balance ability to do these. What can I do to improve this? Thanks in advance and no I won't go to a gym when I have this gear at home going to waste. ]]> New Member Intro Stev-o http://training.fitness.com/new-member-intro/hey-needs-some-advice-65210.html http://training.fitness.com/new-member-intro/newbie-here-toronto-65201.html Thu, 13 Jun 2013 22:04:31 GMT Hello, so let me first let you all know that I am a not the best at working out. I don't have not enough motivation to go to the gym, until now I have met such a wonderful girl and we are going to cuba in a couple months. Which is why I have made it to this site, I am trying to focus on bringing back my pecks and strengthening my arms and legs also every mans wish is get some abs. OK maybe everything. I work sitting down all day so with that came a gut and fat in other places, I'm not that bad at 31yo and 5'10 with 175lbs I know I can fix that quickly. I need to look good to fit in boxer short type swimwear on the beach.

I know I have a lot to do to get fit fast, I just hope I can find the right direction to take.

This is not intended to be a judgement zone so if you are totally selfish in your reasons please say so, in all honesty it means you are more likely to stick to it.

I train for a variety of reasons, first and foremost I love it. I don't always know why but there is something about abusing myself on a regular basis I get a kick out of.
I have a real attititude about my training, having been pathetic all of my childhood I wanted to grow up big and strong, and have since decided I want to be fit and able in a variety of ways, meaning I will never be satified. I also like to be underestimated so train to be stronger faster etc. than my appearance belies, real grade A weirdo.
I am hyperactive and while this doesn't bring attention deficit, it does bring aggression. Training give me an outlet for this where only I get hurt. A winner in my world. ]]> Body Building CrazyOldMan http://training.fitness.com/body-building/what-your-motivation-65196.html http://training.fitness.com/new-member-intro/hope-place-start-65186.html Thu, 13 Jun 2013 06:25:51 GMT I am a 70 year old man recently widowed.

I used to be very active in my old job until a few years before I retired. I retired 8 years ago and quit smoking 7 years ago after 40 years addicted. It would be easy to have the excuse that I let myself go because of my primary function was a care giver to the love of my life for 50 years, but I did this to myself. I found that I could no longer do a situp or even a pushup. So I have a long way to go just to become normal. I do have a elliptical and I do try to at least do 5 minutes on it each day when I think of it. So not sure if I can really belong with a group that is so far advanced. Thanks for letting me join.

I"m a 21 year old who is not satisfied with the way i look. As i'm in college, i am much more bigger than my college mates and am looking to lose weight seriously once and for all. I'm not that big but to me, i feel i can be much smaller. Like i said, i'm only 21 and i'm about 5"8. I weigh about 204 llbs and my BMI is 30.9 which puts me at obese. I have a huge chest and belly which makes me look big from the side compared to people with flat chest and just a big belly(looks like beer belly) Currently my food intake is not too calorie heavy and i play low contact basketball every now and then. It seems that my weight is stagnant all the way and i'm trying to exercise more. Can anyone recommend me what is the best way i can loose weight? i have had ACL replacements on both my knee due to playing bball and i want to know what can i do for cardio? how much should i run per day? and should i run and workout every day? Is there a good workout for weight loss and as well muscle growth? Also since i'm starting new, should i start taking protein shakes and creatine after my workouts and also if i should take protein shakes after morning runs? Thank you so much for all your help and it's just i'm trying real hard to control my intake and i just don't know how much i should calories i should aim to intake and how much exercise i should do. I know this might all seem dumb but i really have no clue. Thank you so much guys. ]]> Weight Loss omar29876 http://training.fitness.com/weight-loss/weight-loss-tip-beginner-65183.html
