The Fitness Thread !

Re: The Fitness Thread !

After getting a tepid response in a standalone thread, I thought why not try it here. The queries remain same:

I am a beginner... hit the gym about a month ago.

Aim is simple: I need exercises that keep me fit, my body flexible and overall health normal.

Problem is that I utilize gym in the place where I work and owing to schedule, go for exercise around midnight. That means there is no instructor. A couple of people have suggested exercises, but I would love to hear what fitness gurus at TE have to say about it:

Age: 28
Weight: 67 (trying to lose around 4-5Kg)
Height: 5'6"
Build: Average

Initially I started walking on treadmill. Nowadays I am jogging/walking on treadmill for little over 3km in 22-24 mins (two sessions of 12 mins with one minute break) and doing cycling for 3km in 10 minutes. Well it's not exactly cycling but working on a cycle like device where you don't sit but stand on a few broad pedals and then move forward (know the name of this machine, please tell)

I am not interested in weight training, unless it is important. Aerobics stuff is more interesting to me. I especially need help on stretching etc.

Re: The Fitness Thread !

Squat and jog, carbs only post workout, no carbs before sleeping. Eat loads of fiber (papaya) and green vegetables.

Re: The Fitness Thread !

I am not a doctor but we have a certified doctor in my office and he suggested ULTRANAC-MR for a week for my still injured right shoulder which worked wonders. Try that, give some rest and massage your feet with olive/mustard oil every third day.

Help needed : I am having pain the right foot near ankle. Its possible because of regular running. Due to this I have halted my jogging sessions. Its beeen ~3-4 days, the pain only grow when I try to run while its kind of normal while cycling and walking.

Any solution so that I can get it sorted and start my regular routine ? Till date I have applied fast relieve couple of time before going to bed.

Remove the creatine, if u want dramatic results switch to 100% boiled food! Results will start showing in a week's time however u need to sacrifice taste etc. Lets see how desperate you are. :cool2:

Re: The Fitness Thread !

Can someone suggest me a decent diet chart, heres what I have during the day.

1. Breakfast 8:00 am- Tea with 2 pieces of bread and butter. Sometimes i skip the BB option due to delay in time.
2. Lunch : 1:45 : 4 Chappati with dal and vegetable + salad (depends on the menu of the mess)
3. Evening Time ~6:00-6:30 : Oats
4 Dinner : ~9:00 - 2-3 Chappati with curd and vegetable

Apart from this I don't like to have fast food and all, but sometimes once in a while friends do force such stuff down my throat. Some of the stuff that I take between the college timings are Amul Cool, rarely I drink cold drink ( I prefer Tropicana and Amul COol over it) .

After my exercise in the morning and evening I used to take a glass of Glucon D, is tang a better alternative to it ?

Please do suggest me some better option if feasible.

Edit : I always have fruits now and then during the day ;)

No , stick to Gulucon D. You can try Gatorade if you want .
 
Re: The Fitness Thread !

U need to eat eggs/meat/fish etc OR else try to get proteins from veg products like cottage cheese. Water is best, no glucon-D and geterode, take sypradyne multi-vitamins, one tab 30 mins after breakfast. ;)
