I will be in the army next year and i need a fitness routine to get me in top shape for it so i am not absolutely dying when i start.
<br>Get online and print out a training program for a mini marathon. Start training for it and you will be amazed at how fit you get. Within 2 weeks I was running 6 miles at a time.
Along with that, just work on your calisthenics. Be sure you can do lots of push-ups, jumping jacks, and sit ups!
Good luck!
My 13 year old boy is very overweight. He is kind of lazy, he hates to run and he doesnt have any access to equipment to workout. What is a good workout routine for him?
oh man that’s tough! I have a 11 year old brother that is beginning to put on some weight and doesn’t like exercise or Sports. He looks up to me and wants to work out like I do, however I live thousands of miles away from him (senior in college) and am not around to inspire him.
Before you go find an exercise program you have to encourage him to change his values/attitude about exercise. Most people, adults included, believe exercise is "work," but in truth it can be FUN. When I am around my little brother he all of a sudden gets a strong burst of encouragement to go biking up hills with his older brother. My mother (who is a health nut) is perplexed at how I do it.
I recommend finding him some role models that have good attitudes about exercise. Kids are very impressionable and if their heroes exercise, believe me, they will too. If you force him to do a workout routine then he’ll roll his eyes and say " awwww do I have to?" and won’t put 100% into it.
Good Luck

THROWING PHONES
Wearing heavy, heavy diamonds.
I just bought a gym membership hoping to gain muscle or atleast get toned. I’ve been skinny all my life, I’m 24 years old 5′8" 145lbs, I am determined to gain muscle mass!
The only problem is that I enter the gym I have no idea what I’m doing. What should I do when I get into the gym first? What is a good beginners routine for gaining muscle? Also, what should I be eating after or before and how long after and before the workout? Thank you all in advance!!!
Cardio equipment is great to exercise the most important muscle, your heart. Always warm up with 5 to 10 minutes of cardio prior to weight training. Get yourself familiar with the weight equipment and their purpose. Your body is made up of sever muscle groups you can do circuit training which is weight training using all muscle groups: legs, arms, chest, back. Or you can focus on a particular group in a single work out. Upper body or lower body. Here are some examples:
Day 1: back and shoulders
Day 2: legs
Day 3: arms and chest
Day 4: rest (important to rebuild your muscle… help it grow)
Day 5: Circuit (is good for keeping the heart rate up)
Day 6: rest
Day 7: legs
Dont forget you cardio, you can do this as often as you choose but dont cut your self short, about 30-45 minutes a day is good.
Keeping good form is very important to prevent injury and to get the most out of you workout. I would ask your gym staff or a trainer for a consult.
Diet is also very important for make sure you are getting significant protein and complex carbs for energy (before a work out) after a work out get in a protine shake or othere good source of protein. Avoid refined sugars, and processed foods… you will be working out for nothing if you can not keep a good clean diet. Hope this helps some.
I have an Olympic Tri coming up this summer and I’m not going to be able to get to the pool much at all with my schedule. Aside from improving cardio through running/biking, what gym exercises would best develop swimming muscles?
It’s best to do all your muscles, but if you are going to swim freestyle, and don’t have much time to train, I would say the most important muscles to work out would be the lats, legs, and core. For lats just use the lat machine and do lat pull downs. Legs, just do lunges, calf raises, and leg presses. Core, just do crunches, V-ups, Penguins, just make sure you work out all of your abs.

I am a busy girl that really wants to be fit! I’ve tried many routines but I can’t stick to them. I need a quick effective workout that can get me toned and feeling healthy. I don’t have any equipment (weights, medicine balls, etc) and do not want a TV workout. Thanks for any help you can give me!
simply do push-ups, sit ups, lunges, and squats. for 15-20 min when you get up in the morning and when you get back home for the day. spend 3-5 min on each excersize and after about 2 months of this you will see results. also try to fit in a jog atleast once or twice a week. the key to excersize and getting fit is dedication, if your lazy and dont do it one day you will slowly fall out of the routine… dont stop always make time for the excersizes even if it means getting up at 5:00 am.you will be happy with yourself. hope i helped. and stay with what ever you decide on doing.
Mainly, im looking at increasing my vertical jump so i can dunk and
a proper workout routine specifically to help you become a better basketball player.
what should I use?
Stretch FIRST
Shooting Drills – 50 shots per drill to increase accuracy (then increase shooting number when ready)
Dribbling/Handling Drills (run up and around the court fast, slow, work on quickness, work on boosting into a drive in, work on stopping, and of course try not to lose the ball while practicing.)
Running – do some mile runs, sprints, suicides, anything to git the heart working good.
jumping – things that make ur legs sore. like ur thighs cuz thats where your shooting power comes from.
Layups – practice both hands of course.
Free Throws – shot a LOT of freethrows
Work on Conditioning
Body toning (Situps, pushups, jumping jacks, things that make your muscles SORE and make them git stronger)
I am currently 17 years old, weighs between 150 and 155 lbs, standing at 5′8 to 5′10”. The number of days I usually work out would be at least four to five days.
well…start out by lifting weights.
for building muscle tone, its a lot better to do a smaller number of repititions with a heavier weight.
running will help in the legs. i personally run 3 miles a day, but to start u should try to do a mile. also..sprints up a hill.
