re: The Fitness Thread !

But then iam still 19yrs old...doesn't anything above 65kgs is too much?

Also most of the time i will be in the college itself so no time to go to gym and all..so what options do i have now..?

What food intake do u suggest?

BTW iam a non veg fellow..so no restrictions here :P
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

I am 178cms (5ft 10") and weigh around 80kgs now.

Once upon a time in class 12th, i used to weigh 65 kgs and had 4 packs.

I used to be an athlete and was good at all the track events.

But joined engineering and had to travel for almost 4 hrs per day.

Never exercised after that and become a heavy weight champion weighing at 94 kg.

After my studies got over, i had a phase of depression which made me weigh to 76 kg in just 3 months. I lost 18 kg in 2 months. It made me very weak and tired. Then after the depression phase i started gaining weight and came to 78kgs

Then I started my career, with my first job in a top IT company 1 year and 9 months back and . I then started exercising(only jogging in the night for 45 mins) and diet control. I used to eat very less, which actually made me more tired and caused fatigue. I came down to 72 kg. Then 6 months back in the midst of economic recession when there was no work for most people, i was the busiest in my life. I am working like 9-9 everyday, weekends inclusive.

Now i weigh 80kgs and look like i am in my 6th month of pregnancy. :(

People hardly believe i was into athletics and all, when they see me now. They just laugh.

I seriously want to be fit. I have started Pranayam watching Baba Ramdev. Must say that you feel good after doing it. :)

But i still want to do some physical activity.
 
re: The Fitness Thread !

What is the advice for people who feel their body metabolism rate is very low (like me).
In such caes we need to take utmost care while eating something else because of screwed up metabolism rate that thing immediately (not literally) shows on body.

re: The Fitness Thread !

Doing strength training with healthy diet is the best way to keep fat off and have a healthy body. Doing HIIT initiially will break u down like anything, it is very stressful yet effective. Start with low intensity cardio.. but give maximum attention to core lifts/power moves, gradually get stronger, build endurance and start HIIT, ideally it should be done when u can squat 1.5X BW i.e: if u r 70 kgs u should be able to squat 105 Kgs = this takes more than 6 months as we have crap diet in india. :S

This is the most brutal form of HIIT:

re: The Fitness Thread !

This will work for u 100%

Build Muscle & Lose Fat Through Strength Training | StrongLifts.com

Do it, forget cardio in the initial stages, your knees won't take cardio... ur back will kill u, make them bulletproof, running will be easier as u progress.

cardio without power training is foolishness as 60% of the weight u will loose (if u ever loose it the fastest way will be lean muscle)

Millions of people are doing it worldwide, read the experience of forum users.

Your priority should be weight Training>Diet>cardio OR be prepared to be overweight whole life with complications arising from a weak lower back.
