Improving fitness. Let's do it together

Hey,

It's really cool that you're getting your exercise and I think a good place to start is a program. Check out stronglifts 5 x 5 as a guideline. That can also help with your diet if you want to pack on some muscle.

 

I do Ice Cream Fitness but schoolwork has prevented me from doing it fullblown 3 times a week. I also have a tall skinny frame and I'm not proud of it. People usually tell me I don't need to exercise because I have no fat to burn but I want to gain muscle myself. I also have a hard time increasing my protein intake on meals

 

thats cool website, thank!

 

Start somewhere dude! Yesterday I smashed 150+ squats until my body could handle no more, and today woke up feeling great. Remember the testosterone increase that will come from exercise, once you tap into that feeling, your mind set will change, and it takes 2 weeks to form a new habit, so keep it up.

Personally, I dont like lists, instead, I push as hard as I can and keep a counter in my head. From there, I'll switch body systems.

 

Strong lifts is really great. I am using a the classic Push Pull Legs Program. It's also quite great for building mass or shredding some body fat - depending on what your goal is. Dropped about 4kilos to date in 7 weeks. Looking forward to cutting out a bit more weight.

 

Over a month of NoFap and I'm lifting and running like a maniac. I am so energized, it's not even funny.

 

I like this. I started doing push-ups a week ago. I was trying with a mix of body-weight exercises but stuck with push-ups because somehow I enjoy them the most.

I guess at some point, I should count how many I can do in a row, so I can report progress here

 

I already do jogging three times a week, objective is to run 1 hour without breaks.

I also do physical exercise other three days a week, about this I'm quite inconsistent and I've been slacking off way too much lately.

I'll try to improve and report here any progress made.

 

run in 1 hour? wow i just can endure for 5 minutes

 

I made exercise a priority in my life some time ago and am inching closer to my goals. Realistically, I think I am about two years away from where I would like to be ideally. Life, she has many ups and downs, so I do not expect the path to be a straight line.

My workout routine is now pretty simple, but effective.

• Jog slowly 10-20 miles per week. Usually no more than 1 hour at a time.
• 84 flights of stairs (168 round trip) every business day. Goal here is to be able to run them fast and also improve by using additional backpack weight (can do body weight + 60 lbs now, but am very slow).
• Lifting 4 x per week. Goal is to maintain 225 lbs for 5x5 on bench, 3 plates on the squat and haphazard rowing work. 3 main lifts may be enough for me with some occasional sandbag work thrown in for the sake of variety.

I am a bit older so my strength goals are not too lofty, but I have a lot of ambition with respect to the strength/cardio combination and want to make sure I stay in shape to tackle once or twice yearly 14er's. Best of luck to all of you. The time you put into your fitness is paid back in spades.

 

Best of luck man, exercise does helps and with time you'll see improvements, definitely helps with anxiety of nofap too. It was not long ago since i was running behind my friends and now they are the ones falling behind best of luck.

 

Thanks for the thread. I use exercise too. No precise system nor lists, but these are my goals:
- run 7km in 45min by the end of November
- 15 consecutive pull-ups by mid-October
- i want to learn the front-lever and muscle-up within 6-12months
- lose 3kg of weight by end-October

At this point I have already lost weight from 90kg down to 75, and I started with pull-ups and chinups being able to do about 3-4 each, am now at about 10 of either. I started training about 6months ago.

 

So ... I currently do three sets of push-ups, the first one is three times 8 push-ups, the second is three times 7, the last one is three times 6. If I can do that consistently (currently I can't) I'll increase the number.

Also, I rediscovered other exercises that are not as much about muscle power than about coordination. I think they are good substitutes when I need distraction and can't do the push-ups.

 

i want to ask something,

how about naked when we do a workout? like squat jumps or jumping jack, because when i naked, i can endured more time and do more reps because i was distracted with "the bounchy thing"

it'll do harm? or not?
