I Am so out of shape.
    #9790768 - 02/13/09 02:19 PM (14 years, 11 months ago)

I have been trying to walk/ride my bike most places I go.  And today I decided to ride my bicycle 2 miles to turn in an application.  (By the way the town I live in is all hills).  By the time I had got back (a total of almost 4 miles) my legs were on fire and I felt nauseous.

  Too bad I have spent a majority of my life working on computers :nono:, well now I am dealing with it and have started working out at least 5 days of the week.

  Got myself a heavy punching bag and a freeweights.

I really hope my progression is fast.  I would like to be way better off before summer hits.

I'd strongly recommend a gym, motivating yourself to work out at home consistently for months is hard.

"At least" 5 days a week is a lot be careful not to burn yourself out and become demotivated. 

Good luck and stick with it

How many days a week would you recommend?    How long should I let my body re cooperate after a hard workout to build itself back up?

You don't necessarily need to workout at a gym five times a week. Try to get some sort of physical activity in every day.

If you want to lose weight the slow way, lift weights. If youre serious about it do running or a cardio workout.

Don't workout too often. 3 days a week or 4 at max. Cardio  is unlimited unless it wears you out.

if your trying to build muscle work out every second day.

change up your workouts every so often.

Your diet is key to building muscle.

My diet consists mainly of bread, Veggies and rice.  I eat pizza often because I work at a gourmet pizza palce, but I try to eat the more healthy types as often as possible.

I have started making salads more and more often.

But, I do get a lot of bread intake.

Meat is the main thing that will build muscle.

Bread is for babies.

Big key is to ask yourself what do you want to gain out of this? (so you know where to focus your effort)

Do you want to trim your stomach and loose weight?

Build muscle and tone up?

Increase Cardio-capacity?

Yeah, I hear you.  My gym membership expired and I'm too broke to renew it.  I did a lot of hiking during the summer, but now I'm pretty much huddled up up in front of my computer for the winter.  When spring comes, I plan to get out more, but in the meantime I'm just trying to count carbs so I don't get too fat.  Incidentally, bread is full of carbs, as is pizza and rice.

I Wish to trim my stomach and have overall better cardio.  I do not want to bulk, I am happy being lanky.  But I want to be able to move my long appendages very quickly and accurately.

Then cardio train, reduce your bread intake, and maybe look into Pavel Tsatsouline.

OP:  I would like to HIGHlY recommend getting a Kettlebell.

Just one kettlebell is all you need for the first few months.  This little cannonball-with-a-handle will give you the most intense strength & cardio workout you've ever felt, in a matter of minutes.  I just started using one a few weeks ago, and I already feel much stronger - and look much more toned/slim as a result.

Here is the thread with a downloadable copy of "Enter the Kettlebell" - a great book about this particular style of weightlifting.  It tells you why the kettlebell is great for building brute strength & losing fat, without the "dishonor" (:chuckle:) of cardio. 

http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/8235141#8235141

That book changed my life (I'll never have to use freeweights/gym again if i so choose) and I highly recommend that system.  There are quite a few people on here who use the this type of training system, and I have a "My Kettlebell Progress" thread going in Physical & Mental Well-Being right now if you want to know who some of them are/what they have to say about it.

Anyways - before you make your final decision, CHECK IT OUT.  WhiskeyClone turned me on to it, and now I've got 'the bug' and am spreading the word as best I can.

Check it out.  Fo' Sho'.
