A 60 day challenge : Getting buffed up

[Silver Wolf]

Whatever suits you. But you know what they say...  The more, the merrier.


I spent most of my free time today sculpting, gluing and cutting miniatures for which I needed a steady hand... So I skipped most of my exercises, but I'm going to do at least the bare minimum before I go to sleep...

[CN2]

Okay, well I'll do a tad more if I have time, perhaps start and finish 30 mins before and after my normal routine. ^^

Does spending my days doing an awful lot of heavy lifting count as a workout?

In all seriousness though, what I want to do is not lose weight, but lose the excess fat. If that means weight loss, great. Having it converted to muscle would be great as well.

[comrade_general]

Right on Marcuses.

My brother and I exercise now and then. He mostly just plays on his Nintendo DS. I am naturally stick-thin. My brother, not so. He's younger than me, so maybe he'll even out later. Anyways, I do ~25 full push-ups, a few minutes break, than 35 "Knee Push-ups" (I have my knees on the floor, instead of on my toes), followed by 20 sit-ups. I miss a day or 2 now and then, and I'm not particularly strong (I'm a scholar, what can yah say?). Every 3rd day I do 10 min of Jog-In-Place, too. Not much of a "Work-Out", as much as a "Don't get chubby" thing. My High-School has a 2km/1mile square campus, so I get a work-out walking all around with my 20-25lb bookbag+books

25 Push-Ups
35 "Knee" Push-Ups
20 Sit-Ups
10 Min Jog-In-Place
High-School Campus + 20-25lb Bookbag

All in all, not too bad, I think. Opinions on improving the regimen?

[CN2]

I think everyone should get up 20 minutes earlier than usual, and go for a mile jog everyday :p except weekends...

Mother wouldnt let me. There is a bushland down the road and lets say not that safe, plus im a girl/young woman and have more of a likely chance to be overpowered and/or raped.

[Silver Wolf]

Wow now that sounds awful... Sometimes it's hard to be a girl...


Anyway...
I did two sets of push-ups and dips.
Skipped squats... My legs are  still in pain because of the last 100 I did. (yes, I raised the numbers)
Did one series of crunches. Might do one or two more.
Only leg lifts left...

And I've decided not to raise the numbers for a few more days... Pain is not what I need at the moment.

[Jubal]

Don't go too fast. If it's seriously hurting, stop. Otherwise you don't get buffed up, you just get torn ligaments or muscle damage.

[Silver Wolf]

Hey, it's "No pain no gain" for me... I know it may sound weird, but I don't feel any improvement if I don't do it that way.
Pain goes away eventually, just as most things in life do, but the sense of accomplishment remains.

Are you doing any before-and-after-photographic-evidence, SW?

[Silver Wolf]

No... My camera is dead at the moment... Might do it later.

[comrade_general]

That's what they all say.

I tell ya I'm gonna be feelin' today's workout tomorrow. Probably have a cough too.

[comrade_general]

Actually I felt pretty good today - stronger even, like Macho Man Randy Savage.
