Answers That I've Given
Question:
Here's my Q Im gonna start working out and I'm really serious about it and I want advice and I don't want people talking about diet I know that's as important I just wanna know any good training techniques for getting a six pack and to work out my legs and especially losing wieght on my thighs.
My Answer:
Hello,
Well, it depends on what equipment you have available and whether you are going to a gym or not.
But if you have no money, or don't want to spend money on equipments and the gym, then there are also ways to use what around you. I'll talk about this kind of working out in this answer.
Let's begin, shall we?
(***NOTE: This work out is tough for the first two or three months, depending on how your body is currently. And within the first two weeks, you may feel like your muscles have been torn apart. But it gets easier and more comfortable as we go.)
--Wake up early in the morning ("early" means 4:00 AM to 5:00 AM, NOT 7:00 AM), go out to your yard, and do some stretching. Push your body a little because the point of this is train your body's flexibility. Do this for about 20 to 30 minutes.
--After that, jog for half an hour. Then after a month, steadily increase it until you can continuously jog for a whole hour without stopping. After 2 or 3 years, strive for 2 hours if you can. (Jog, not walk, just to make it clear.) The point of this is endurance, not enduring pain, but to extend the time it takes to get you to be tired. And this trains your heart and lung, too, they're important internal organs.
--After the jog, 100 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. After three months, steadily increase the rate to 150 sit-us and 50 push-ups. After that, strive for over 100 push-ups. (and this is RIGHT AFTER the jogging). It'll be really hard because you're already tired.
--You'll be very tired after all that. So rest a bit, catch your breath, then take a bath. While taking the bath, drown yourself. In the first 6 months, see if you can hold your face under water for over 2 minutes. After 1 year, strive for 5 minutes. (Don't know if you can go longer than that though, because I have never been able to do that . . . yet.) Lung training.
--Go to work or school, hangout, whatever, just do your everyday stuffs.
--In the afternoon, put together a thick stack of paper (again, thick! Else, you'll hurt yourself a lot), tape the thick stack of paper onto a brick wall or a tree's truck, and punch it. Punch it as hard as you can until your knuckles hurt, bleed, or maybe until you just bored of it.
--Sprint 10 meters, not 100 meters, but 10! Run as fast as you can. It doesn't matter whether you can run long distance. The goal of this is to cover a short distance in the least amount of time possible. Speed training.
--As you have dinner, sit without a chair supporting your butts. You still sit as if there's an invisible chair there. Your feet, knee, and thigh area will be undergoing serious work out if you do this everyday =D
--relax a little now, do whatever you want
--Just before you go to sleep, do some push-up. Your goal is 50 at first, then slowly strive for 100, and then until you are exhausted.
--After that, try to stand by your arms instead of legs. Get support from a wall if you have to. In the first 3 month, your goal is 10 minutes. Then steadily strive for longer time as you go. After 7 months, try to walk with your arms =)
--Time to sleep? Take a bath! As you take a bath, drown yourself again, just like what you did in the morning.
--Yoga if you want to, if you don't, who care! Yoga is mental training, you are aiming for physical training here so you can careless about it. >=)
--IT'S WEEKEND!!! =D What should you do? Well, do whatever you usually do, but no training in the weekend. Your body NEED TO REST! Instead, you should dance, or play some kind of sports. This is agility training. Dancing help make you feel like your body is lighter, so that your movement will be a lot smoother. Dancing is a work out itself. If you don't like to dance, play some sports, such as tennis, badminton, soccer, or basketball, etc.
--3 years later--
--Join a martial art school. You've trained your body so well over the last three years. Now, your goal here is not to study martial art, but to train your reflexes. Sparring without other practitioners help you train your reflexes in danger. Not to mention that here you will have all the equipments to further your training.
--2 more years passed-- (a total of 5 years)
--1 against 3 street fight? Marathon? Peace of cake >=) You may not come out first, but top places are yours. Of course, it depends on how intense you've train. After five years, even if a person has a gun, if he is within 20 feet from you, he's no threat.
--Of course, never stop training. As you get older, the amount of training will become less, but you'll have a healthy body. =D
Hope this help,
