What Exercise do YOU do?

[timmay929]

I just started weightlifting in gym in school. I'm probably going to lift and run on the treadmill every other day.

[Rebdragon]

Whoa, everyone is so... healthy...

 

 

 

Pfft, nah, most are just saying what they plan to do, and maybe do a third of it, if that :P .

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though, everyone but the jokesters who are unhealthy probably wouldn't post, so you're also seeing a minority of the people viewing this thread :P .

20 mile bike ride with my dad every weekend. Sometimes I can get him to run in the local marathons too. My dad and I have a trip to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro 2 summers from now :pray:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that I no life playing warcraft while woofing down gallons of cheese balls... mmmm cheese balls.

I lift every day but Wednesday and weekends

 

 

 

-2 Day Splilt

 

 

 

- LEgs and Shoulders/ Chest and Arms

 

 

 

-10 exercises a day

 

 

 

-3-4 set of 12,8,6,5 (Pending)

 

 

 

-10mins of Cardio a Day

 

 

 

-20 mins on Wednesday

 

 

 

-Dancing at dances (i do alot! and its hot so it kinda= exercise)

[T-Roach]

 

 

My plan is to do these things i got taught which is a normal sit up, then a stomach crunch for each side (which i do in 3 movements) then start again (target is to be able to do this 100 times, which is like 300 seperate sit ups), this kills my abs, so i hope to build muscle soon :P Aswell i plan to continue doing weights at home...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A common mistake is to do massive amounts of press-ups or situps to try and build muscle. If you want to build muscle mass you should do low repetitions of high weights. This is a little trickier for sit-up type exercises without access to a gym, but try doing it with a weight on your upper chest area. For home exercises though, a set of adjustable dumbells is very useful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personally, I play hockey for about an hour or two normally once or twice a week this time of the year, normally in matches or training. Rugby before Christmas, and tennis in the summer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I also go to the gym three/four times a week to work with weights and go swimming.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the summer I also cycle a lot, and run in the winter, although less running this winter.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got told, that way is unhealthy for people under21 becuase our body is still developing, so the best way for that age is high reps low weights, it doesnt cause as much damage

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

gave me a good laugh , thanks

if u lift 4 times a week, then WHY IN THE HELL does ur workout suck so much?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

if u really have 4 days to lift, then u should definitely divide ur program, for example back and bi's on 1 day, chest and tri's on another and so on..

 

 

 

or do u even train ur back? cant see it from ur program now.. :x

[Star_Fox]

running is the perfect excercise for me, every weekdays, i usually run 4 miles average counting school hours, its alot of fun, especially while listening to my ipod. :

[Guest]

Walk to bar, walk back from bar, lift pint to mouth. I'm perspiring just thinking about it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ROFL! :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I do a lot of Exercise (this is what I do in Summer, I do more running and less tennis in Winter - as I do Cross Country as a Sport).

 

 

 

Moday: 30 minute Run in the Afternoon (so around 5kms)

 

 

 

Tuesday: 1 and a half hours tennis in the morning 6-7:30 and 2 Hours in the Afternoon 3:30- 5:30

 

 

 

Wednesday: 1 hour and 15 minutes Tennis in the afternoon 4:45-6:00pm.

 

 

 

Thursday: 1 and a half hours tennis in the morning 6-7:30 and 2 Hours in the Afternoon 3:30- 5:30 (same as Tuesday)

 

 

 

Friday: Generally a Run in the afternoon 20-30 mins long (though I don't do it always).

 

 

 

Saturday: Tennis matches between 12-5:00pm (Games go for about 1 and a half hours each on average and I do two of these (doubles and Singles).

 

 

 

Sunday: Rest. :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I try to fit in some situps, benchpresses and dips in at night during the week. Around 3 times a week on average.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I'm physically fit. :D

[____]

I'm on my feet for 8hrs at work; and I usually consider that my weekly exercise.

 

 

 

If I'm not bouncing between customers I'm lugging around stock and filling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better workout than a gym, IMO.

Rubbish. High reps low weights only increases endurance at any age. You can't build muscle mass by doing 300 reps of whatever excercise you do. Even most pro's do about 2 reps of 6 lifts, with a pause in between.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P.S: Depending on the person, you can start bodybuilding at 14-16 with high weights low reps. It totally depends on your body.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thats for generally building muscle on your arms and legs through? For your ab's if you havent got a type of machine sit ups are far the best, and if your doing a low amount you wont feel anything, no pain no gain -.-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But i dont know, i did 40 of those sit ups i mentioned in first post, and the stomach crunches do help trust me lol, i could actually feel it working >.>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow a lot of posts in a day

[Celluzion]

You could always use a weight plate on your chest, or do inclined sit ups.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do 10 sit ups with a 40 pound weight on your chest, and tell me again you don't feel anything. :P

40lbs? Havent got a 40lbs weight at home, my weights suck lol, i guess i could tie to 20's together but would be hard, i'll try do 20 sit ups with a 20lbs weight on my chest...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm guessing i'll be putting my right hand on my left shoulder and my left hand on my right shoulder with the weight rest underneath my arms?

[ikzelf100]

Minimum:

 

 

 

Mon: Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Tues: Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Wed: Normally 1h running or 90 min gym

 

 

 

Thu: Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Fri: Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Sat or Sun: Jogging one day and Soccer game the other.

 

 

 

and 50+ sit-ups and 50 push-ups every evening before bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My goal is to go to bed earlier at night and get into this schedule:

 

 

 

Mon: Running in the morning before uni. Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Tues: Running. Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Wed: 1h running or 90 min gym

 

 

 

Thu: Running. Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Fri: Running. Soccer, 2h

 

 

 

Sat or Sun: Jogging one day and Soccer game the other.

 

 

 

and 100+ sit-ups and 100 push-ups every evening before bed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every running session interchangeable with gym. Then I'm back above the level of training I was at when playing soccer the most seriously, and I want to get back there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But this is not much help for you...I'd say

 

 

 

Push-ups, both with hands at shoulder-width and hands together, with the fingers creating a triangle.

 

 

 

Situps (I do prefer the normal ones by far, though, that little extra side-thing does nothing for the sides of your abs from what I've heard, you could try sit-ups while lying on your side, though, which requires some leverage on your feet)

 

 

 

Standing with your back against the wall with knees at a 90 degree angle for a couple of minutes

 

 

 

Lying on your stomach, hands under your chin. Lift your back, 1 second at the top of the movement, then back down. Repeat.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

yea, well, all I can think of now, you can basically do all your body without weights or machines, get something so you can do pull-ups or whatever they're called, excellent back and shoulder exercises if you have some bar you can pull yourself up to.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i hope with schedules like that that you are older then 18 years because training that serieus can give lots of health problems if you are still growing

Keep running your mouth cause you obviously DONT know what your talking about. I donno who i should trust, some kid on a forum or the owner of the gym that won the most weightlifting award in the state. I think im going to stick with the gyms Intermediate schedule and not your "workout". And yes i do train my back, if i wasn't lazy enough id post my schedule and you'd see.

 

 

 

Kthxbye

T-Roach does know his body building, though.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's probably a hint of truth in what he says, and I kinda see his point.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm guessing i'll be putting my right hand on my left shoulder and my left hand on my right shoulder with the weight rest underneath my arms?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, you could do that, if your weight plates have grips in them, like my gym does, then you could grip them and hold it while doing sit-ups, that's what I do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I guess 20lbs would be okay, just do your sit ups slowly so you can feel the tension on your abs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I work out every 2-3 days.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Usually,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 1 = Bench Press, Dumbbell Shoulder Press, Weighted Sit Ups, Flyes, Guillotine Bench Press. (Chest, Triceps, Abs).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 2 = Bicep Curls, Pull Ups, Dead Lift, Incline DumbBell Curl, Close Grip Front Lat Pull-Downs, Bent Over Barbell Row. (Mainly Back(Lats, Middle Back etc.), and bicep).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Day 3 = Bench Press, Dead Lift, Squats, Bent Over Barbell Row (Full body Workout)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's what I usually do, I may make some alterations to the programme depending on my mood, etc.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've gained about 12 lbs this month using my programme, and I'm continuing for another few months til' I get that all-awesome V-Shaped body. :D

Thanks i'll give it a try before bed and let you know tomorrow how well i think it works lol, nice workout plan, shame my gyms closing down otherwise working out would so much easier :\

[Star.]

My exercise usually is my P.E lesson on Thursday, even then i don't put the effort in. It's winter! No outside activities for meh.

[Mandy16]

I get up at 5 every morning to go running :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe play soccer with my neighbor twice a week too

[heart_of_ink]

I do tae kwon do at least three times a week We spend 45 minutes doing excruciatingly rigorous warmups, and 15 minutes of actually doing TKD.) I also have gym class every other school day, and in the summer, I run in the mornings. I don't need too much exercise because I hav a fairly fast metabolism and I'm not trying to bulk up or anything.

[spikerkid]

Running on the tredmill. My friends say i'm a fast runner.

 

 

 

Push ups\sit ups

 

 

 

Bench weigths

[fitzztif]

WiiSports does the trick for me

i think i DO know what im talking about. Im not saying u should trust me or change ur progam, im just asking why ur program sucks? May i ask who the owner is?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

my stats now and then:

 

 

 

i started on October 05 , weighing 58kgs=127. benching about 35kg=77lbs or so

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

now, im at 78-80kg, which is ABOUT 175 lbs, yesterday i benched 110kg which is about 240lbs. and no i dont have bodybuilder genes. When u eat the right food, work out with a PROPER program, and get enough sleep, your results will rise a good amout.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

btw, ive also kept my bodyfat% at around 10 all this time
