My 84-day fast weight loss journey in a time lapse format AS SEEN In Mens Fitness US Edition & On TV in Japan broadcast on national TV to [...]
19, BMI of 32, 6 ft 1 inches 244 pounds, need help?i know i need to lose weight, i don’t really have any muscle on me (except for my legs which comically have to be strong enough to lift the rest of me)
here is my plan.
i won’t always be able to get to do cardio, or sometimes even get to the gym 3 or 4 times a week. i figure i will get as much in as possible and build muscle the rest of the time, my reasoning is two fold. building muscle will help me achieve a better workout when i DO run or stair climb or whatever, and it will also stoke my metabolic rate (i have been losing weight even outside of the gym so far by changing my eating habits, i now eat WAY healthier and a lot less)
so here is the situation
i have been at it since September, i was 260 then and i have lapsed a lot in November on my routine (most of the weight loss was in October)
i want to get back into it, but my geography presents problems. i currently live in thunder bay, and it’s starting to get *very* cold (it’s chilly now, it’ll DROP soon) and I’m worried about walking 15 min to the gym, getting soaked and walking 15 min back in 40 below weather.
on the other hand, i don’t really know all that much about working out at home.
so far i have been looking into push ups as my main workout as they work the arms, back, and core. problem is my lower abdominal muscles won’t have any of it, first time I tried they strained and left me feeling sore for a couple of days
I can’t make crunches, and i don’t know if I’ll be able to do reverse crunches until my abs stop hurting, so far i have been supplementing it with kneeling side bridges (2 sets of 8 –holding for 30 seconds each rep– for each side)
i want to know if I’m on the right track, if there are any other light ab workouts that i could try(and any good way of stretching them before hand >.<), and any cardio exercises that i could try (preferably ones that DON’T make me look like a lunatic)
You could get some of those perfect push-ups. They actually give a pretty decent workout. You could also buy a jump rope for cardio. I know you might not be that good at jump rope but if you keep doing it at intervals it will still help get your heart rate up. Medicine balls are great to for ab work because they are more comfortable. Plus you can buy some dumbells to workout with on the medicine ball. References :
Have you heard of Stemulite? It is all natural way to help increase efforts from workouts, without any of the ill wanted side effects, and it helps you sleep deeply as well.
You need to eat five to six mini meals a day.
Only whole wheat items, with lean meats, and a veggie. (In one meal)
Example: I make my own whole wheat waffles and pancakes, add a few berries with sugar free syrup, and eat two eggs, and you should be good.
Snack: Cottage cheese with mandarin oranges and slivers of almond
Lunch: Chicken Salad with whole wheat bread, muffin, or pita
Snack: Smoothie with berries, whey protein, and soy milk
Dinner: Black Bean sauce with salmon, small salad, and wheat roll
Nix all processed sugar and all processed white flour products.
Cook with no fat butter spray or olive oil (sparingly).
Each meal needs to be balanced with proportions from each group the size of your fist when closed. This is alot of work to do, but the results are worth it.
Strength training 3 X a week, and alternate with 3 days of cardio, and then take on free day.
Buy some free weights, not equipment type machines, and get a mirror that you can watch your form. Watch some videos on how to "lift properly", and then mimic that in the mirror. You can increase strength and tone with isometric type exercises, but to *add muscle* you need to lift weights, get sore, and then recover, to lift weights until you see results you are happy with.
Stemulite will help you get an edge in gaining muscle naturally, as well.
