Re: The Fitness Thread !
Well, i started a workout regime about a 6 weeks ago and now am able to do ~200 crunches/squats and 30 pushups in sets
Stamina is good but overall lacking in upper body strength
Started pushups and other one-dumbell presses to build some arm strength recently
I cycle a fair amount for cardio as jogging is boooring
Junk food is rare but i certainly wont skip out on stuffing myself once a week
P90X looks 'fun'
Now I need to know what stuff will I need for it?
Really dont want to buy dumbells since i dont have the space for it and they arnt portable, dont have a chinup bar either
Would resistance bands substitute as well?
What about protein supplements?
Their site lists many types....Beachbody P90X® Peak Performance Supplements
No idea about whats good, whats for show and whats locally available, need inputs on this?

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Exactly the opposite is happening to me. The upper part of ribs (chest part) seems to be caved in. I asked my gym master about this and he told me to do close hand push up's . Duno how much that will help...but does any one else know anything about this?

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Well it doesn't hurt or anything, but it's definitely not normal and it's not like it's always been like this. I'm really hoping I didn't bend my muscles or ribs by doing some exercise the wrong way. :|nukeu666 said:Seems your floating ribs are floating away
If there is no pain, then there shouldnt be a cause for worry
Re: The Fitness Thread !
Just finished an uphill-downhill run.. 4.5 km in ~35 minutes. Anyone see a crazy runner with an NWZ-W202 around his neck at Peddar Road.. 'twas me!
I'm running 4 times a week, playing tennis 3-4 times, as and when the rain lifts. Only home food and 3-4 meals a day. Lost 2 kg in 10 days or so.. back to 74, which is decent for 5'10"
Still have a bit of a paunch though. Want to get rid of it ASAP..

Re: The Fitness Thread !
If possible start free hand squatting, push-ups and chin-ups, you wont regret

If i don't warm-up and lift even light weight i feel slight pain in my lower back on the left side! hence i jog/run for atleast 10 mins before any weights. It feels really good to see numbers going up in push-ups and other body weight exercises :baby:

Bought flaz seeds last evening.Rs12 for 100gms.Ground it to powder and ate it with a bowl of curds.Ate this morning with my oats too.After a few months of this and the omega 3 content in my body should be decent enough for general well being.
NOTElease weigh your cast iron plates properly.They only put the numbers and dont specifiy whether they are in pounds or kilograms.

Re: The Fitness Thread !

Can't we roast it and then eat it??

Some had 15 written on it but neither was it 15 kgs nor 15 lbs one plate 4.675 kgs other plate same pair 5.4657 kgs :baby: so much discrepancy!

No he is a smart chap who wants to eat omega 3s in the cheapest possible way. Fish oil is considerably costly to be consumed for life (as of now for him and me rofl!) Roasting it reduces the contents of it i've read but confirm for yourself.raptor3624 said:Bought flaz seeds last evening.Rs12 for 100gms.Ground it to powder and ate it with a bowl of curds.Ate this morning with my oats too.After a few months of this and the omega 3 content in my body should be decent enough for general well being.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
Loosing the first 10 kgs is pretty easy but anything after that comes in the real workouts ( painful) and strict diets

Re: The Fitness Thread !
I am really curious to know how you are going about this since I myself followed a mini regime which helped me lose quite a lot.Ankur said:How many of you guys interested in losing fat, and look ripped.

Re: The Fitness Thread !
I just used a regular grinder to powder it.10-20 secs should be fine.
Flax seeds are not eaten(out of lack of knowledge mostly) in India for their nutritional value.Thats why I think Indian families roast it for taste or something like that.My mum advised me the same that it tastes good when u roast it.But she was not aware of the real importance of flax seeds.
I shall confirm whether roasting makes the flax seeds lose it's nutritional value.
As far as my research goes using flax seed oil is bad coz the generally hot Indian weather makes the oil unstable and in more cases toxic.Also the flax seed sare not supposed to reach the stomach as they were.They will be excreted as undigested matter.
They taste just like almonds but smell a little funny sorta like fodder for livestock(not when you mix it with anything).If you eat it without grinding it, make sure you chew it properly.But then it becomes too sticky in your mouth
NOTE: ASAIK, one is not supposed to eat more than 3 spoons of flax seed powder.Do google for the dosage.
I am eating flax seeds now by mixing it with oats for breakfast and just sprinkle it in whatever I cook for dinner.It doesn't alter the taste of the dish.I guess you can also mix it with the rotis or chapatis(mind the dosage) just like soya
