An interesting online conversation was taking place in a thread which was inappropriate for it. Let's talk training, diet and health people. What do we all do besides play on the internet!

Well I don't have anything to properly assist me. I use the bunk bed in my dorm room. Push cover over my feet and place them under the planks. Not the best way but it's the quickest. Every other way is too tedious to do everytime unless I actually hit the gym which I seem to never get around 2.
I do some EXTREMELY amateur yoga, but I would not say it's something I could help someone @.

Does it really take everyone that long? I can't even finish a magazine article when I #2. I have known some people to take a loooooooong time, but a lot of people act as if it is the norm.
I will add my workout routine when i plan it out...feel free to give any advice or critique when i do so....and keep checking the Spartan Training thread for updates.
I go to the gym at least 4 times a week, 5 max. During that time, I work my chest, back, shoulders, biceps, triceps, legs, and abs. I do about 70-80 crunches for everyday I'm in the gym. I used to do heavy cardio, and didn't do as much weight training as I should have. Now, it's the complete opposite. Now, I love weight training. I haven't been for a run in at least 1 month and a half. I know that's horrible, but I hate cardio sometimes; even though I need and want to burn more body fat. My diet also is also in need of revision. I need to eat more protein, and less carbs. All in time, though. I'm gonna start cardio again next week. Oy, that is gonna hurt. Has anyone tried any muscle builders, or fat burners? Anything you'd recommend?

Sorry to double post, but for my cardio routine, I would jog (sprinting at intervals) for about 5 or 6 miles over the course of an hour. It got kind of chilly, so I decided to take it easy. I don't want pneumonia, and I've gotten kind of lazy.
Three days out of my week consist only of cardio. about 5 mins of stretching. 40 push ups, alternately 40 sit ups, then again alternately 40 more push ups. stretches, 15 mins jumping rope, atleast 40 push ups, alternately 125 crunches, then alternately 40 push ups. slight cool down time, 200 leg raises, atleast 15 mins on my heavy bag, and then my final stretches.
Two days out of the week i do weight training. I try to focus on my leg muscles to heighten my heart rate, and then alternate between arm and back liftings. I repeat this twice, and then do a halved cardio routine. by this time i generally spent. I have held this workout schedule for about a year now. It took a while to get here, and my stamina hasnt increased from these routines, which makes me think i am doing something wrong, maybe my diet.
I should probably run, for thats the best excersise anyone can perform, but from being massively overweight for seven years, my knees dont appreciate the shock of running. So i just make sure i walk atleast 8 miles a week. I am hoping my youth will be able to make up for the stress i put my knees and joints through by being fat for so long. guess you can hope in one hand and shit in the other. Yeah, if your fat, lose weight. I was fat and diddnt realize how much it affected my body untill i lost weight.
thats it my workouts, more or less. My diet is off and on from only healthy eatings to unconscious absorption lol

Just eat a high protein diet. You don't need those muscle building powders. It's a scam and waste of money unless you're a weight room freak, aka body builder, imo. Stick with lean meats like chicken, pork or tuna. Too much red meat isn't too good for you, I think. Also drink massive amounts of water. I'd say around 2 gallons a day. Make sure you get a decent amount of fiber and carbs in your diet as well. That atkins shit is really bad for your body and mind, imo. The most important part of gaining muscle mass is the protein though. Here's aformula to help you out. Let's say you weigh 170 pounds. To gain muscle mass you have to eat at least half of that in grams of protein a day. For a 170 pd person that would be at least 85 grams of protein a day. Oh and make sure hit the weights, unless you just want to get fat.
