re: Arkansas health and fitness thread

Got it downloaded on my iPad. It's pretty tough. I have both kettlebells and dumbbells. I have some of the books and DVDs from Dragon Door, which is a great resource for kettlebell workouts.



Glad you're being good here. I was poised to immediately ban you.

Up to 175.

Not restroom....bathhouse

Hey sometimes having an audience is thrilling and pushes you to peak performance.

At work I try to do 50 pushups at least once per hour. I'll drop to the floor, knock em out in a long minute, and then back to work.

No need for caffeinated drinks when you are keeping your metabolism fueled with a good diet and exercise.

I understand.

You don't need to do 50. Just do 10 or 15 every hour when you have a few minutes to drop down to the floor.

I'm going to be honest with you, I've done pushups in the men's bathroom. Granted, usually I would never do this because I'm somewhat a germ phobe. However, I'm the only one who uses said bathroom, sooo....

The idea is to simply take a couple of minutes each hour or couple of hours to stimulate your body muscles.

In my opinion, it doesn't really matter as long as you are impacting your muscle groups daily. If you do this on top of a scheduled daily workout or strength training regimen, you'll most definitely see a difference within a month or two.


Remember, portion control, portion control, portion control when it comes to diet. It'll take you about two weeks to reprogram your body to accept a change in diet, so be prepared to fight a little bit of hunger at first. You need to be strong minded mostly during the first two weeks. Before long you'll realize that you don't crave as much food as before. When you realize this is about the same time that you will realize that you feel better, have more energy, perhaps less headaches.

Drink plenty of water. Water make you feel full and less likely to snack. Also, research foods that prevent the feeling of hunger.

Once you have reprogrammed your body to enjoy healthy food and a high intensity exercise regimen, you'll feel guilty if you deviate from your healthy lifestyle. That's a good thing.

this is key in any workout...push yourself a bit harder each time.

Diet is the key for me, and my biggest challenge.

Which diet do our posters prefer. I've had great success with low carb but I don't think it is sustainable nor does it appear that a prolonged keto state is really good for us. So, back to lean meats, veggies and some complex carbs.

Thoughts?
