I figured out that playing video games the whole day isn't the best idea, the time pass but I don't get much by doing it. When Im going out I don't have much energy and I get tierd pretty fast, I would like to change that so I decided I will exercise every day and eat stuff that has lots of Vitamines and Iron in it.

I do/day
-40 abs (not sure if "abs" is the real name of exercise)
-20 push-ups
-2 minutes of invisible chair

but I've just started and Im increasing the ammount every day

Do you have any Recommendations about the Excercise/Food

Alright Haku bro.

Starting off seems difficult bro but you need to keep at it and remember in the long run you will see results.

You need to start drinking a lot more water. Plain water. You need to man! whenever you pass by the kitchen grab a glass.

Try running for a long time instead of sprints. Running for a while increases your muscles ability to stay "awake" longer.

If you see candy and other sweets THINK, is that healthy? Eating sugar hurts you in the long run man!

You need to do workouts that keep heart rate up also! For example up-downs, SPRINTS, Jogging in place then doing up downs.

How old are you by the way? You might be able to get a big tire and a sledge.. I do that ALOT.

Ask anything man I know A LOT of workouts and other things, I don't bite.

Don't listen to microe. Eating is always the best way be healthy. Not eating isn't healthy, and a sudden change in diet is never safe. Slowly try to change your diet, but never too drastic. Your body might have a bad reaction to it.

Never eat too much of each food. Try to eat each food once per week. Large servings of pasta is good. Large servings of tuna, never good. Large servings of meat is good. Large servings of canned peaches in not so good.

Also, fruits should your only snack. Skip desserts and entrees. You should eat so much in your main course that you are full. Also, if you are not hungry, and you have that last ravioli, don't eat it. When you are full, you're full.

Exercising should always be gradual and limited. Soda and sweets and other candies are okay, but once per week indulge yourself.
[quote]Wow bro..


You don't. I don't exercise and I am physically fit. Exercise is healthy, but lifting weights isn't.

Canned fruits are not the healthiest, fresh would be the best.


The corn syrup surrounding the peaches has potassium and calcium added to it.
Tuna is a great source of protein without many carbs and fats. Eat it as
a light snack but do not exceed 2 a day. Remember it has salt.[/quote]

Are you crazy? Tuna has mercury. One can of tuna per day for seven days is just enough to kill you. If you do eat tuna, make sure it is albacore, and remember, only twice a day.

Make sure its not garbage like hot dogs or hamburgers. Eat lean meat.


Yeah, but Burger King once a month is fine. You can't just go from eating junk food to no junk food. It is all about guidelines and limitations.

You can eat sweets and fast food, but just limit yourself to it.

Do not take pills they waste your money. If you are going to take any pills have Fish oil.


Ten dollars for one year supply? Not bad. Also, pills are a great way to boost vitamins and minerals that you need to meet your daily intake. Only one pill of Vitamin B12 and you have enough energy to last you the entire day.

Pasta has ALOT of carbs, eat it the night before if the next day you plan on a serious workout.
Do not eat alot of it because if you don't burjn it then it gets stored as FAT.


You do realize you need carbohydrates, right? Carbohydrates are fine, but just remember, take a five minute walk and you should be fine.

Working out can be a strain. Wanna know how you build muscle? You first have to tear your muscles, and then cells form new muscle. That sounds painful, right? Maybe that's because it is. Once you feel the burn, just stop. Serious workouts aren't good.

Having energy is one thing, but building muscle is another. Pasta is good for energy, but not for building muscle. To build muscle, you need vitamins and minerals to help ease the stress and pain on your muscles, so that working out isn't so painful and you can go longer without "feeling the burn."

Try not to go for reps, listen to your muscles. Do them until you don't feel your muscle, then go above and beyond and do
a couple more if you can. Thats where you actually benefit.


No, you don't. Exhausting yourself to death is not good for your body. Just ten pushups are day is fine. Even if you feel you can do more than that, just keep it at ten. Your body likes routine.

If you really feel you want to do twenty, go for it, but you can't go twenty one day and then ten another. It is either twenty all days, or ten all days.

You might not be able to do pull ups right from the start, have assistance by having someone hold your legs so you can
push off them. You might need more crunches for benefit. Do crunches until your abs feel lke a tight feeling.


Crunches are fine. Pushups should get your arms ready for pullups, however. Also, sometimes pullups are hard to do where you live. Remember, exercising from the comfort of your own home is best.

Also, no more than ten crunches. Your stomach might begin to hurt or cramp. The key is just build muscle safely. I have a friend on the wrestling team and he has to do a gazillion crunches each day and his back and stomach always hurt afterwards.

You don't want to be that fat guy at the gym hopelessly trying to lose weight.

If you don't have equipment just sit against a wall, try having a 90 degree or less angle with your legs and butt.


Squats? Do you know what those are? What equipment do you need for squats?

Well, anyway, an alternative is just jumping twenty times is fine. Exercising your legs is key.

If you feel you can do more, go for it.

[quote]Move up by 10%.. 10 pounds. Trust me.


Ten pounds is nothing. 11 pounds is barely anything either. Twenty pounds is better, but ten pounds is just to get the feel of it.

You don't give very accurate information man.


I give advice on how to eat healthy, and build muscle healthy. You give advice on how to kill your self working out, and change your diet completely in one day.

Bro I work out ALOT and I keep myself fit, I know what to eat and such. I workout ALOT, at 6:00 in the morning until 8:00, Monday Wensday and Friday.

You don't. I don't exercise and I am physically fit. Exercise is healthy, but lifting weights isn't.


Are you old enough to lift weights? Your 16 right? Have you ever even lifted weights? I am very serious about muscles and body building, I am a 1 year novice but Im going to get there.

You do realize you need carbohydrates, right? Carbohydrates are fine, but just remember, take a five minute walk and you should be fine.


A 5 minute walk after 1k calories of carbs isn't going to do you any good. 2 to 3 cups of pasta is alright.

Exhausting yourself to death is not good for your body. Just ten pushups are day is fine. Even if you feel you can do more than that, just keep it at ten. Your body likes routine.


You do know that If you workout for 30 minutes you gain no results right? I workout for 2 to 3 hours. But in his case he just wants to get fit. Then again 10 pushups is barely enough to say "hi muscles".

Squats? Do you know what those are? What equipment do you need for squats?[/quote

Yes I know what squats are. I squat 225 10 times. Not that it matters.

I have lost 25 pounds this year and gained about 20 pounds in muscle. I know how to build healthy muscles. I don't kill myself workout out either, you might with the small weights and "never-going-to-accomplish-anything" 10 pushups.



Now haku. I have been doing things since I was 14 but I recently started bulking and such. What are your goals? Do you want to have big muscles and be ripped? Or be lean and 0% body fat?

I would go for more Aerobic workouts like running in place and stuff like that, as for food, eat mostly high calorie food about a hour before you exercise. The more calories you got, the better the results will be. Also make sure and take plenty on magnesium and calcium so that your muscles aren't sore the next day! =D

Everyone's body is different. All I am saying is you have to walk before you can run. You have to pace yourself.

Are you old enough to lift weights? Your 16 right? Have you ever even lifted weights? I am very serious about muscles and body building, I am a 1 year novice but Im going to get there.


Lifting weights is fine, but lifting 80 pound weights on your first go is impossible and not healthy at all. Start with baby steps.
A 5 minute walk after 1k calories of carbs isn't going to do you any good. 2 to 3 cups of pasta is alright.


Walking is supposed to help with digestion. It is going to burn the calories, but just help you absorb the nutrients from the pasta.
You do know that If you workout for 30 minutes you gain no results right? I workout for 2 to 3 hours. But in his case he just wants to get fit. Then again 10 pushups is barely enough to say "hi muscles".


30 minutes is fine. Results or no results, it is healthier for your body. It helps you build a routine and your body gets used to it.
I have lost 25 pounds this year and gained about 20 pounds in muscle. I know how to build healthy muscles. I don't kill myself workout out either, you might with the small weights and "never-going-to-accomplish-anything" 10 pushups.


Muscle weighs more than fat so wouldn't you be gaining more than 30 pounds? Also, how much do you weigh?

Now haku. I have been doing things since I was 14 but I recently started bulking and such. What are your goals? Do you want to have big muscles and be ripped? Or be lean and 0% body fat?


I'm pretty sure he just wants to be healthy. I'm average. I' 6'0 and I weigh 175-185 pounds. I hover around there. I think he should weigh about the same. To weigh that much, you don't need to exercise, but to cut back on certain foods or at least limit yourself to how much of each food you want.

Exercising is only for those who are on a team, in my honest opinion. If you play basketball, you might want to start off with lifting 25 pound weights or doing 25 pushups.

It is all relative.

Take magnesium pills so you won't have to worry about it. You can get it in the Nutrition section of your local supermarket or just a drug store.

The cost pretty cheap and last a really long time. Only take one per day in the morning and you should be good for the rest of the day.

Remember, exercising should always be light. Your body CRAVES a routine, and only change that routine until you actually start to feel a change in your lifestyle. Remember, a diet is a lifestyle. It is hard to change a lifestyle, so just take baby steps.

30 minutes...I don't really do streching, or anything where you just move your arms, legs, only thing I do when I exercise are the three I said in my first post
, which takes less than 10 minutes
Also btw I managed to do exercises every day without much effort

I am on the wrestling team and im in constant movement kevin. I weigh 195 and I am wrestling in the 215 weight division.

Haku, If you just want to be fit try eating healthy and running and do light weights and train your muscles, as kevin said don't do 100 pounds from the start.

If you want to do body building or something of that nature(Which im going to start this summer)/ then you need to do more research.

Bro, one per day is fine. There are like 200 of them in the big jars that cost ten dollars.

Body building and being healthy are similar, but you can't just start body building from the start.

Your advice is fine, but for body building.

If you don't find exercising fun, just play a sport with some of your friends. In the summertime I play ball with my older brother.
